Several regional MMA promotions took center stage this past week, including the Guam-based Pacific Xtreme Combat. An event that was anticipated by many, PXC 33 saw a total of 6 finishes on its fight card.
Mark Striegl marked his promotional debut with a submission win over Robert Wusstig. The Filipino fighter, who has an unblemished record of 11-0, is one of the region’s top prospects, and had to defend a couple of takedown attempts from his opponent before securing the finishing touch of the bout.
In the main event, former Strikeforce veteran Harris Sarmiento did just enough to gain a well-deserved Split-Decision victory over Seung Hwa han. The South-Korean was a late replacement for John Tuck, after the latter was forced out of his championship bout with an injury. Nonetheless, as originally planned, Sarmiento is expected to defend his strap against Tuck in the near future.
Here’s a round-up of all the results for PXC 33:
- Harris Sarmiento def. Seung Hwa Han via Split Decision
