Keeping with news out of the PXC let's hear from Frank The Crank Camacho about his match up with Yusuke Kasuya.
Camacho said, "He's very experienced and he is a Shooto Champion. If you are a champion in Japan especially a Shooto Champion you don't just become that guy over night. There are years of training and years of experience and years of technique. He is dangerous everywhere and the thing I like about this fight I like most is he is a scrapper and he is going to try and come in and take my head off. That is what I try and do and that will make it a better fight and I need this win for my goals ahead. He needs this win because a win over Frank Camacho is definitely going to propel his career to the next level and that is what we are both trying to do."
