The fight card for next month\u2019s Rites of Passage 24: Ragin\u2019 Rumble has a long list, as 16 bouts are scheduled in Trench Tech\u2019s second offering for the season.<\/p>\n

Trench Tech\u2019s very own Shane \u201cPikaboo\u201d Alvarez, Vince \u201cThe Clinch\u201d Masga, and Mark \u201cThe Dark Nuique\u201d will be featured in the Saipan vs Guam triple-header. Alvarez will be pitted against Rob \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Wusstig in their 145-lb bout, while Masga will battle Vida BJJ Guam\u2019s Zach Benavente, and Nuique will fight the latter\u2019s teammate, Pete Benavente.<\/p>\n

Before the Trench Tech trio sees action on the eight sides, two boxing matches will kick off ROP 24, which is set for Oct. 26 at the Marianas Business Plaza parking lot. Trench Tech\u2019s Ton Borja will clash with Steel Athletics\u2019 Steve Kassala in the 135-lb boxing bout, while the other fist fight will have Guam Muay Thai\u2019s Jerreck Bagay challenging either Dion Reyes or Tatian Grajo of High Blood Pressure Guam in the 155-lb weight class.<\/p>\n

Next up for the Ragin\u2019 Rumble are four kickboxing bouts. Guam Muay Thai\u2019s Kevin Ishmael will square off with Trench Tech\u2019s Ko \u201cPakPak\u201d Palacios at 155 lbs, while the former\u2019s teammate Eric \u201cYoung ASAP\u201d Lacambra will duel another Trench Tech standout, Andres \u201cThe Tanapag Beach Bad Boy\u201d Camacho in the 135-lb weight class. Chris \u201cDoc Syndicate\u201d Rendina will be the fourth Guam Muay Thai fighter that will debut in ROP 24, as he battles Zombie MMA\u2019s Manny \u201cThe Kid\u201d Camacho. Tonesha \u201cQueen Tee\u2019 Cruz will be featured in the first kickboxing match, but the Guam Muay Thai bet\u2019s opponent in the 100-110 lbs class has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

For the MMA fight card, there will be nine bouts, including the Vince Torres versus Pejo Camacho duel.<\/p>\n

Torres of Team Rage will have his first fight of the year against Camacho of Steel Athletics Guam. Camacho has been out of the octagon cage for nearly two years after losing his lone bout (to Frank Meno) at PXC 56 in November 2016, leaving Torres the slight favorite in the last MMA match in ROP 24 before the Saipan vs Guam feature. Torres holds a 2-1 record with his defeat coming from Guam\u2019s Joey Crisostomo Jr. last year in ROP 21.<\/p>\n

Other MMA pairings next month will have Austin Indalecio battling Team MeZZing\u2019s Anua Kenty; Guam\u2019s Austin Gaspay facing Team Zalaka\u2019s Bradlee \u201cKaboom\u201d Manalo; and Guam Muay Thai\u2019s Austin \u201c Auzzy P\u201d Petros meeting Down2Scrap\u2019s Jonathan \u201cNo Love\u201d Camacho. Down2Scrap\u2019s Jadrien Camacho, ZomvieMMA\u2019s Travis Camacho, Jessme \u201cDon\u2019t Test Me\u201d Jones, Steel Athletics\u2019 Jerome Fujihira, and Guam\u2019s Cavin Castro will also fight on the the eight sides next month and their respective opponents will be announced later.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Juan \u201cHot Pocket\u201d Lizama of Rota, Patrick Ongcangco, Robby \u201cThe Rebel\u201d Rabago of Talafofo Fight Club, Justin Cangco, Lucas \u201cThe Irish Zombie\u201d and HBP\u2019s Junar Jesus and Darren Taitano are the standby fighters for ROP 24. The fight card is tentative and subject to changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
