Pacific X-treme Combat (PXC) will unveil their first sizzling title match of 2016 at the Solaire Resort and Casino on Jan. 16, 2016.
PXC-51 Flyweight Championship features two Filipino fighters, Crisanto Pitpitunge vs. Jenel Lausa for the main event as a title match.
Pitpitunge is a tried and tested fighter and also a former PXC champion in the 135 lbs division. He knocked out Alvin Cacdac in PXC-48 in a non-title bout. He is also used to championship level fights.
Lausa, on the other hand developed into a world-class fighter in his journey with PXC. He also established a reputation on being a heavy-handed striker and a fighter who is not afraid to take punches. He also knocked out Erickson Montilla in PXC-48.
