PXC 18 preview: Howard vs. Fassi

In PXC 18 news, the fights go down this Saturday Night at the Field House and one of the fights I'm looking forward to will be the Brian Howard, Fassi Jesse match up. Fassi Jesse out of Saipan won in his debut in PXC 17 spoiling the return of Eric "E Dogg" Santos.

Fassi looked strong at 155-pounds over powering Santos and showed excellent balance and ground control. Brian The Shotgun Howard is one of the island's fighters who doesn't mind getting in the cage with anyone to try and up his game. Howard is a striker who has been doing his homework on the ground and has been improving at becoming a more well rounded fighter. Brian has shown good gas in his last couple of fights so I'm looking for both fighters to push the pace and keep the action going.

If Howard can avoid the take down and defend early submission attempts by Fassi Jesse then as the fight goes on it should lean in his favor. On the other hand if he gets careless early on Fassi will capitalize on his mistake and end the fight early.
