Brandon Vera graces PXC debut at MOA

MANILA, Philippines -  Fil-American Brandon Vera, an established star in the mixed martial arts world, lends his prestige to the Pacific X-Treme Combat event making its debut in the country June 11 when he joins 16 MMA fighters holding an exhibition for Filipino fight fans today at the Mall of Asia Activity Center.

The exhibition will showcase the basics of MMA fighting styles, as well as the fighters’ training and practice regimen in the run-up to the Pacific X-treme Combat (PXC 24) event at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila.

Two Filipino fighters – Carlos Tiongson and Rogelito “Nonoy” Plomeda – will join fighters from Brazil, Korea, California, Florida, Hawaii, Guam and Saipan during the exhibition.

Vera, whose moniker is “The Truth,” has visited the country before, along with fellow MMA stars Georges St. Pierre and Chuck Liddel.

“We are very fortunate that one of UFC’s top MMA fighters, and one of the Philippines’ proudest sons, is here to support his fighters for PXC 24. We’d like to invite all MMA fans to come and experience what PXC is all about,” said EJ Calvo, PXC promoter and GM.

“They will also have the chance to meet and greet PXC’s top fighters and, of course, meet “The Truth.” Vera will support his fighters, Rolando Perez and Diego Garijo, from his Alliance Fight Academy in San Diego, California.”
