\"Ground\u00a0 Trench Tech Purebred Promotions is proud to announce that its octagon has been repaired and ready to go for Rites Of Passage 12: Unstoppable set for April 20 at the Royal Taga Ballroom of Saipan World Resort.<\/p>\n

The tentative fight card features Trench Tech’s first ever bantamweight bout, a France vs. Saipan super fight, a Guam vs. Saipan grudge match, and a finale heavyweight main event.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trench Tech featherweight champion Rob \u201cChamorro Zombie\u201d Wusstig is officially out of the fight card after recently undergoing abdomen surgery.<\/p>\n

With his absence, the featherweight title match that initially scheduled for the event will be postponed for later this year.<\/p>\n

His opponent Trench Tech’s Fasi \u201cQuick Draw\u201d Jesse (8-4), meanwhile, is still listed late on the card, however his opponent is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

A boxing exhibition at 170 lbs kicks off the action featuring team Zalaka veteran Zac Reyes welcoming a new member from Guam’s Countershot stable, Julius Yangetmai, to the ring for his debut.<\/p>\n

Then four K-1 kickboxing matches will take over the cage: Countershot’s Jared \u201cSmiley Face\u201d Santos (0-1) and Zalaka’s Jordan Manglona (0-1) at 120 lbs; Guam Muay Thai’s Jeremy \u201cPacman\u201d Javellana debuting against Trench Tech’s Tavita Lueta (1-0) at 140 lbs; Guam Muay Thai’s Justin \u201cJD\u201d Dizon (0-1) against Danny Agulto at 140 lbs; and Zeng Zung’s Regino Mundo (4-0) facing K-1 Guahan’s Sonny Chargualaf at 145 lbs.<\/p>\n

Following the K-1 montage, five MMA bouts will precede the headliner matchups.<\/p>\n

Trench Tech’s Ronald Hermosilla is set to debut against Zogai’s Brandon \u201cCommotion\u201d Camacho (0-1) at 145 lbs; Tinian independent fighter Ton Borja will clash with Trench Tech’s Seong Ho Chung in a double debut at 145 lbs; Countershot’s Aaron Magbuhat (1 win, 1 draw) faces Tinian Zeng Zung’s Pete Cepeda (2-1); Countershot’s Lloyd Cubacub (2-0) is paired up against Trench Tech’s Josh \u201cChaos\u201d Duenas (2-3) at 135 lbs; and Trench Tech’s Vince \u201cThe Clinch\u201d Masga (2-0) will collide with Ryan Toves at 150 lbs.<\/p>\n

The France versus Saipan super fight starts off the primetime action as Ground Fu’s Ferrid \u201cThe Hurricane\u201d Khedder takes on Trench Tech’s Ning \u201cBo-Slice\u201d Cepeda (4-2)<\/p>\n

Then Zalaka’s Joe Duenas (4-0) faces Trench Tech’s Mark \u201cThe Dark\u201d Nuique (7-0) in the first-ever Trench Tech bantamweight title fight followed by a juicy grudge match between Spike 22 Guam’s Rick Camp (3-0) and Marianas Elite’s Vince \u201cVincesanity\u201d Pua (4-0) at 150 lbs.<\/p>\n

After Trench Tech’s first bantamweight champion is crowned Trench Tech’s current featherweight contender Fasi \u201cQuikdraw\u201d Jesse (8-4) is expected to face off-island competition at 145 lbs to set the stage for a heavyweight finale brawl between Trench Tech’s Mylo \u201cBam Bam\u201d Lassiter (4-1) and Guam’s Pete \u201cBig Mac\u201d Miyasaki (1-0).<\/p>\n

In addition, Guam boxer Gianna Sarusal is on standby looking for a new female opponent at 130 lbs. Her teammate is also in search of an opponent at 115 lbs. Trench Tech boxer Juan Lansangan welcomes any 145 lb challenger; while MMA fighters Josh \u201cOh My Gosh\u201d Cruz (135 lbs), Josh \u201cThe Hedgehog\u201d Alvarez (125 lbs), and Jordan \u201cJungle Boy\u201d Ogo (125 lbs) are also in reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
