.

With a live audience of more than 6000 spectators, including special guest former UFC Light heavyweight World Champion Tito Ortiz, The match was also broadcast live online to tens of thousands of viewers and is still available streaming on  MMA online authority www.sherdog.com

 

Following is an interview with “The Crank” on the fight and what has motivated, at only 20years f age, one of the Marianas premier 155lb. fighter athletes competing overseas.

 

After a 10-0 record at 185lbs. and a relatively successful performance at 170, what motivated you to compete at 155?

-At the higher level, fighters at Middleweight and Welterweight and physically way bigger than I am at 5’8″. With my body type having a high percentage of body fat at 185 and 170, the 155lb weight class is perfect for me! I will be fighting with maximum performance and muscle to weight ratio. I believe I will be way stronger and faster as a Lightweight! This is the weight class that I will be fighting at for now!

How did this fight come to be?

-After taking a year and a half break from the MMA fighting scene, I’ve been training with Team Lloyd Irvin under Master Lloyd learning his system and working on my skills to be a complete Mixed Martial Artist. This fight was just to “scratch that itch” and get a fight in. Took the fight in 7 weeks and made my debut at 155lbs.

What key developments do you see for yourself as a fighter training at Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts? How was your training for this fight?

-I’m definitely a whole new Frank “The Crank!” The 7 week training camp for this fight was the hardest I’ve ever been in. We had up to 4 training sessions a day. This is the breakdown of the training camp week;

Monday, Wednesday, Friday
6am – Wrestling
10:30am – Boxing
3:30pm – Drilling or Sparring
6:30pm-9:30- Sprints / Sparring

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
6am – Circuit / Conditioning
10:30am – MMA
3:30pm – Drilling
Have the night off depending on what Master Lloyd had us working on.

My conditioning, strength, and cardio felt spectacular! I was definitely in the best shape of my life.

As a Marianas Island fighter who has competed abroad in the Philippines and the US, what has this oine for your perspective in local MMA?

-There is definitely a whole lot of Talent & Heart in the Marianas Fighters! Add some Hard Work and Discipline success will come! World Champions will come from the Marianas!

What are your motivations as a Mariana Island Mixed Martial Artist competing overseas?

-A good friend once said, “We come from such a small island, a dot on the globe, coming from somewhere so small makes me want to prove big things, and let the Whole World Know where I come from!”

Whats next fr Frank Camacho? What are your goals as a martial artist and Mixed Martial Artist?

-Im going to take another break from the MMA fighting scene and keep up with training. I know I need to work on all aspects of my game. I want to rock the BJJ scene now and learn as much as I can on my journey! Worlds is coming up so that is one Im looking out for! The ultimate Goal is to be The World Champ!

What words might you have for Mariana Fighters and fans?

-For the Fans! Si Yu’us Maase! Thank you so much for all the Love and Support! I wouldn’t be anywhere without you all! Keep supporting MMA, its a beautiful sport and Rock on at all the fights! lol. You all are the best! Good Vibes always…

-For the Mariana Fighters! Keep doing what you are doing! No one else in the WORLD fights like the way we do! Keep your eye on the prize, set your goals, and don’t let anyone or anything Stop you or Slow you down from reaching your goals!

-For the Kids of the Marianas… I had a rough road pursuing my MMA career. If you have a goal, whether its to be a doctor, lawyer, mma fighter, or astronaut, Go after your goals and DONT let ANYONE or ANYTHING STOP you or SLOW you down from reaching your GOALS!The sky is not the limit, because there is NO LIMIT! ROCK ON!

 

At only 20years of age,with an MMA title in the Philippines, a successful MMA record in the islands, and a promising debut into 155lbs;  a very proud Chamoru,  Camacho has already given the Marianas much to be proud of and a lot of lessons we can learn from. As we continue to support our fighter athletes ventures overseas, we give applause not only for the victories, but also for all the efforts. Because regardless, as we recognize our rightful place in the bigger picture, win or lose, these are all movements forward.

 

Best of Luck Frank and Biba Marianas.

 

Thanks for dropping by.

PXC17:FearlessResults

Taniguchi fells Castro in 1st

By John Wesley Jr. • For Pacific Daily News • March 28, 2009.

PremiereXtremeCombat17:Fearless

The fight card for PXC 17: Fearless was filled with some of Guam’s top fighters, as well as participants from Japan and Saipan.

In the fourth fight of the night, Japan’s Tomonori Taniguchi defeated Guam’s Alex Castro in the first round.

Castro was taking his time to set up his stand-up attack, but got caught by an uppercut that dropped him. Taniguchi followed up with ground and pound and the referee intervened to end the fight.

Other fights

s Jon “Superman” Tuck def. Thomas “the Saint” Calvo via submission:

The much-anticipated grudge match between Spike 22′s Calvo and Guahan Top Team’s Tuck kicked off the event.

Tuck made Calvo submit with a rear-naked choke in the first round.

Both fighters came out aggressive, but the much taller Tuck took advantage of his size. Tuck landed heavy knees to Calvo’s midsection and threw him twice. The second throw allowed Tuck to get on Calvo’s back, and after sinking in his hooks, Tuck locked in the rear-naked choke until Calvo tapped out.

s Yasuhiro Motomura def. Derek Rangamar via submission: In the second match of the night, Motomura made Rangamar tap out in the first round with a triangle choke.

Rangamar attempted a jumping knee early in the fight. The move didn’t startle his opponent though, and while Rangamar took his opponent down, Motomura escaped and worked his way to a submission victory.

s J.J. Ambrose def. Hideto Condo via submission: Ambrose used a rear-naked choke and forced Hideto Condo to tap out in the first round of the night’s third fight.

Ambrose controlled the match, grounding and pounding Condo until he found an opening to sink in the submission hold.

s Hosea Ware def. Hiroaki Sakuma via submission: Ware used his superior strength to gain top position on his opponent and had a full mount for most of the match.

Sakuma managed to sweep Ware, but Ware locked in an arm-bar and Sakuma submitted in the first round

(2 of 2)
s Kyle Reyes def. Kyle Aguon via decision: In a highly anticipated match, both fighters went the distance and Reyes was awarded the unanimous decision.

 

Reyes came out trying to take control of the match with some kicks, but Aguon countered with knees. Before the end of the first round, Reyes had a full mount and began to pound on Aguon. Eventually Reyes locked in an arm-bar, but Aguon refused to tap.

The second and third rounds saw the fighters trade flurries of punches, knees and kicks before Reyes was declared the winner.

s Fasi Jesse def. Eric Santos via decision: The seventh fight saw little action and went three rounds before Jesse took the unanimous decision.

The fight saw several stalemates and the ref had to stand both fighters up several times. The only exciting action came in the third round when Jesse started with strong kicks that Santos countered. Santos had Jesse in a choke hold, but couldn’t sink it to close the match.

Delay

After a long delay due to fans leaving the building after some pepper spray was spread in the stands, Guam’s Justin Cruz made Japan’s Taki Tsuchiya tap out in the first round.

Cruz applied a rear-naked choke to get the win.

The last two fight results were not available at press time.

Over the past several years the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has
grown at an exponential rate.  An example of this is the Ultimate
Fighter television show that just recently concluded it's airing on
Spike TV.  The finally of the season captured a 2.6 Nelson Rating or
2.6 million views during prime time American TV.  This was the first
time in American History that a MMA fight was held on cable TV.  This
rating has prompted talks between the UFC and ABC about a second
season.  MMA is already the most popular sport in Japan and is gaining
momentum in the US.  Boxing is without a Heavy Weight Champion and
thus leaves an opportunity to gain a large share of the market place.
We feel that Guam has a possibility of obtaining a large role in the
development of MMA as well as the opportunity to showcase itself as a
destination.  There are currently only a handful of events in the US
that sell as many seats as the Fokai/Fury events.  We feel that Fokai
with the assistance of MMA.TV can place these events among the most
watched in the US.  Along with this comes a vast untouched market for
tourist revenues.  The average MMA fan is male between the ages of
18-35 years old.  Guam can benefit from its unique location in many of
the same ways that Hawaii has.  By being an Island Paradise with many
other attractions such as scuba diving, shopping, beach, golf, it has
the ability to cross promote with MMA.  Guam can sell itself to fight
fans as not only having world class events but many other things to do
for a 7 day vacation.
As for Guam and its role in developing the sport and its athletes:
From my last visit to Guam I believe that MMA is the number one sport
on the Island.  Because the sport is still in the development stage in
many US places this becomes a great advantage.  When people start
training as a young age, with the right training, coaching, and desire
they can advance to the top of MMA quickly.  Unlike other sports there
is no height or weight requirement, due to weight classes.  MMA unlike
a fully developed sport like basketball that will now only accept the
.01% of all players MMA promoters are searching for talent.  In other
words the demand for the sport has out paced the supply.  If Guam
becomes finically, and socially committed to producing athletes there
is no doubt that marquee talent will emerge.
In my opinion Fokai has done and will continue to do an excellent job
with it's marketing, as well as its reputation in the MMA community. 
At this time I feel that in order for Guam to make the next step in
its development into a fight tourism destination several things must
be done:
Ø	Advertising to the MMA community
Ø	Develop and promote a marquee fighter
Ø	Take event size to the next level with recognized names (BJ Penn ect…..)
Ø	Develop a multi-media package (DVDs and print media / Pay Per View)
Ø	Vertical Marketing plan with other Guam activities 
I feel that with the accomplishments of things on this list Guam would
rival Hawaii and possibly surpass Hawaii in regards to MMA generated
revenue.  Guam has a distinct advantage due to its location.  Firstly
it is a US territory and therefore much more accessible to US markets.
 Second is that is in close proximity to Japan.  Guam has the ability
to attract the best talent from both the US and Japan as well as fans
from both nations.
I feel that Guam currently has a wonderful opportunity to become a
player on a global stage with MMA.  The sport is young and its growth
will continue to be staggering over the next 10 years.  Guam right now
is one of a limited number of hot spots for MMA.  We hope that Guam
will decide to take advantage of this and promote not only MMA but the
beauty of the island itself.  At MMA.TV we hope that we can be of
assistance and be your partner for many years to come.

I hope that helps.......I am looking forward to seeing everyone in a few days
best regards,
-josh
