Camacho will be facing Japanese bet Yasuaki Miura (7-6) of Zendokai Nagano in a non-title main event fight after the respective bouts of Ernie Santos and Jordan \u201cThe Machine\u201d Manglona for the flyweight belt, and Jose \u201cYoung Blood\u201d Ramirez and Eric \u201cGatty\u201d Gatmen for the lightweight strap.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Camacho is aiming to bounce back from a first-round loss to another Japanese fighter and shooto champion Yusuke Kasuya (9-1-2, 1 knockout). Kasuya beat Camacho by rear-naked choke submission in Pacific Xtreme Combat 47 last March 13 in Guam.<\/p>\n

Camacho\u2019s defeat at the hands of Kasuya ended the former\u2019s four-fight winning streak and in the process dropped his record to 15-3 with 11 of his wins by way of KOs.<\/p>\n

Miura is also coming off a loss, his third straight, after falling to New Zealand\u2019s Luke \u201cThe Jedi\u201d Jumeau in the Pacific Rim Organized Fighting 10 last May 9 at the Taipei Gymnasium in Chinese-Taipei.<\/p>\n

Camacho and Miura will be fighting in the 170-pound weight limit or welterweight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Guam\u2019s High Blood Pressure\u2019s Santos (2-0) and TrenchTech\u2019s Manglona (2-1) will kick off the triple main event when they clash for the flyweight title. Their bout will be followed by the match between Ramirez of UMA Gym (1-1) and Gatmen (2-0) of Guam May Thai for the lightweight strap.<\/p>\n

Three kickboxing matches will open up the event with UMA Gym\u2019s Jayvin \u201cThe Prodigy\u201d Santos going up against Zalaka\u2019s Danny Jepen in a 130-pound bout and StrikeForce\u2019s Kier \u201cThe Radical Kidd\u201d Agda taking on Guam Muay Thai\u2019s Wesly \u201cBaby Bully\u201d Ponio in a middleweight contest. GMT\u2019s Ryan \u201cSnowflake\u201d Perez will close out the kickboxing events against Fradley Jepen of Zalaka.<\/p>\n

In one of the nine undercard bouts, Josh \u201cOh My Gosh\u201d Cruz\u2019s opponent in the 135-lb category has yet to be determined. The other undercard bouts will be between Matthew \u201cMighty Mouse\u201d Sablan of Red Ants Academy and MCAMMA\u2019s Mike Mu\u00f1a (130lbs); MCMMA\u2019s Jadrien \u201cBonbon\u201d Camacho and A.J. \u201cSmalls\u201d Aldan of TrenchTech (115lbs); Independent fighter Daniel \u201cFlowmotion\u201d Floor and Mike \u201dThe Medic\u201d Pacini of GMT (145lbs); RAA\u2019s Jones Langu and Independent Frankie Norita (145-150lbs); Ko \u201cPakPak\u201d Palacios of TT and Renz \u201cThe Intense\u201d Benghit of Team Intense (155lbs); Lorenzo \u201cFruitty Pebbles\u201d Attao of Gracie Barra and Lucas \u201cThe Irish Zombie\u201d Nutting of TT (135lbs); Zalaka\u2019s Derick Asao and Cole Morril of TT; and Zalaka\u2019s Tim Salas and Jonathan \u201cThe Outlaw\u201d Camacho of Down2Scrap (120lbs).<\/p>\n

Cousins and Trench Tech stablemates Roman \u201cBoom\u201d Alvarez, who is fresh from a win in last week\u2019s PXC 48 in the Philippines, and \u201cShiska\u201d Bob Alvarez will be featured in back-to-back K1 fights.<\/p>\n

Roman Alvarez will take on Ethan \u201cTyphoon\u201d Reyes of UMA Gym in the 145-lb weight limit, while Rob Alvarez will face Jarome Cruz of GMT\/UX at 135lbs.<\/p>\n

Trench Tech promoter Cuki Alvarez, however, said the fight card remain tentative and are subject to changes.<\/p>\n

Tickets are out and can be bought at Boarderline Skate Shop, Swirls Saipan, both IT&E locations, Naked Fish, and at the Trench Tech Gym.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
