Trench Tech fighters Shane \u201cPikaboo\u201d Alvarez, Josh \u201cChaos\u201d Duenas, and Vince \u201cThe Clinch\u201d Masga signed fresh six-fight deals with Pacific X-Treme Combat, making them busy until 2016.<\/p>\n

Trench Tech promoter Cuki Alvarez told Saipan Tribune that the three are scheduled to have two to three fights this year until 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will be busy until 2016. But of course all three of them have been training non-stop to remain in shape and in fighting form,\u201d said the older Alvarez.<\/p>\n

Masga (5-1, with 3 by submission) will be the first to climb the PXC cage when he takes on Scotty \u201cDa Slaya\u201d Eclavea of Guam in PXC\u2019s inaugural event in 2015.<\/p>\n

Masga is still fresh from winning his PXC debut in PXC 45 where he scored a unanimous decision victory against hometown bet McKlane Alfred (3-2, with 1 knockout) last Oct. 24 at the University of Guam Fieldhouse in Mangilao.<\/p>\n

It was also Masga\u2019s second straight win after losing by technical submission\u2014rear-naked choke\u2014in the third round to Guam\u2019s Ricky \u201c2 Slick\u201d Camp (4-3, with 2 KOs) in Rites of Passage 16: Unleashed in April last year. His first was recorded against Daniel Floor at Rites of Passage 17 also last year.<\/p>\n

Eclavea is no pushover as the Guam fighter, who holds a 3-1 card with 2 wins by submission, is coming off a unanimous decision victory against compatriot Mike Sanchez (1-1) also in PXC 45.<\/p>\n

Shane Alvarez will be fighting in May in a separate PXC event when he visits the Philippines to challenge former PXC bantamweight champion Crisanto Pitpitunge of Baguio City\u2019s famous Lakay MMA.<\/p>\n

Alvarez (10-2, with 3 KOs and 3 submissions) is aiming for some payback after Pitpitunge handed stablemate Duenas his fifth loss in last year\u2019s PXC 44 in Guam.<\/p>\n

Alvarez is also coming off a loss to Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Darren Uyenoyama of San Francisco, California (9-5, with 4 submissions) in PXC 45 last October.<\/p>\n

Pitpitunge, after dropping two straight matches, including a unanimous decision defeat to Japanese challenger Michinori Tanaka that cost him the 135-pound belt in PXC 37 almost two years ago, is fresh from a split decision win over former Thai kickboxer Rambaa Somdet in November.<\/p>\n

Duenas (4-5, with 3 submissions) is still waiting for PXC\u2019s confirmation on the schedule of his next fight and his opponent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
