Pacatiw to take on Jordanian in Brave CF

-

TEAM Lakay's Jeremy Pacatiw will have his skills tested as he takes on Jordanian striker Jalal Aldaja as a supporting bout to the Brave Combat Federation 9 slated on November 17 at the Khalifa Sports City in Bahrain.

With a record of three wins and three losses, Aldaja will seek to end his two bout akid against Frans Mlambo and Nawras Abzakh in the Middle East MMA promotions.

But prior to the two fight loss skid, Aldaja was on a three fight roll beating Reyad Hamzah, Ali Qaisi, and Ahmed Fares.

The University of the Cordillera­s student is enjoying a two fight win streak after stopping Thiago dela Coleta in round two of their supposed three round encounter in Brazil last August and a split decision win against Chaitanya Gavali.

Pacatiw will see action in the undercard of the bantamweig­ht title clash between fellow Team Lakay’s Stephen Loman against Gurdarshan Mangat from Canada.

Thw duo has joined One Championsh­ip lightweigh­t world champion Eduard Folayang, Kevin Belingon and Gina Iniong in their training camp as he seeks to score another victory that would put him closer to a possible shot at the title.

With eight wins in his career, Loman is on a three fight win streak, including a victory against Frans Mlambo, one of the sparring partners of Conor McGregor, trained by coach John Kavanagh at the SBG Gym.

The Team Lakay fighter also scored a huge upset against former PXC title contender Mark Abelardo.

Mangat on the other hand is on a six-fight win streak and in his previous fight, he defeated India’s top featherwei­ght fighter, Abdul Muneer, in a catch weight fight that went one-sided, giving him a unanimous victory. Roderick Osis
