As of time of writing, it is seventy-eight days to go before Christmas, and the countdown to Pacific X-treme Combat's 41st installment has begun, with a fight card that is shaping up to be a great pre-Christmas treat to all MMA fans in the Philippines and around the word - it's definitely, an event that shouldn't be missed.
Some of the new and aspiring MMA practioners in the country participated in the King Of The Cage Fighter Screening and Ultimate Challenge that was held at the Metrotent in Ortigas, Pasig on October 6, 2013. The metrotent venue was divided into several areas, a ring was used for the Muay Thai, the mats for the wrestling and grappling, and one area was allocated for the circuit training dubbed as the "Ultimate Challenge". Zilvidu was there to take photos. Here's a random slideshow gallery of the event: The meteoric rise in popularity of the sport of MMA in the Philippines is without doubt, greatly influenced by the country’s top MMA promotion, the Universal Reality Combat Championship. The URCC recently announced that they will honor Philippine MMA personalities by inducting them to the URCC Asian MMA Hall of Fame.

He has taken a lot of time off between title defenses. It seems to me that he is content sitting on the sidelines, Read the whole story (with video) via NISSI ICASIANO at www.dontblinkmagazine.com PXC 39 Main Event. Jang Yong Kim def. Mark Striegl for the Featherweight Title. Submission 3rd RD9/17/2013 The main event between Jang Yong Kim of the world renowned Korean Top Team and Fight Corps MMA's Mark Striegl was perhaps one for the PXC record books. The anticipation from the Asian MMA scene grew stronger by the day in the past weeks leading up to PXC 39. Filipino-American Mark Striegl carrying the weight of his hometown countrymen's expectations, as his fight time unblemished record was also on the line, along with the PXC World Featherweight belt and his dreams of making it to the biggest stage in MMA, the UFC.
It was a great battle especially in the first round as both fighters showed their MMA wrestling, and grappling prowess. Takedowns, submissions, transitions and scrambles and technical exchanges were displayed, much to the delight of the sold out crowd. Fans at Ynares Sports Arena were on their feet as Mark Striegl took the back of Kim and attempted a RNC. The Korean was able to escape and attempted his own submissions on the Fil-Am. Both fighters showing why they are the top fighters in the division, both of them looked pretty even, skills-wise. In one of the night's entertaining fights, Rolando Dy, son of Philippine boxing legend Rolando Navarette displayed his overall MMA skills as he earns a unanimous decision victory over tough-as-nails Guamanian Kyle "Boom" Reyes. The Guamanian fighter looked to shock Dy's hometown crowd early in the fight with furious ground and pound in the first round and subsequent guillotine choke and arm-bar attempts. The Filipino kept his calm, escaped from the submissions and managed to get back up to his feet and get back at his opponent with clinch knee strikes. In the second round, Reyes landed a left hook that opened up a cut on Dy's right eye side but it didn't seem to bother the Pinoy fighter. As the fight went the distance Dy showed he has the more superior conditioning as he landed a good mix of leg kicks, punches and consistently went for the clinch to throw knees to Reyes' head and body.
