Two Cebuano mixed martial arts fighters had different results in their respective bouts in the Pacific Xtreme Combat (PXC): Laban MMA held at the Limketkai Atrium Center in Cagayan de Oro City Saturday night.

YawYan ArDigma’s ace fighter Roel “Akiyama” Rosauro was successful in his debut in the lightweight division as he scored a second-round knockout against veteran MMA fighter Lorde Rey “Punisher” Yamit of Butuan City.

Rosauro improved his record to four 4-1 (win-loss) while Yamit tasted his sixth loss in eight bouts.
