Combate Americas has announced seven new fights, including a featherweight (showdown between knockout artists Horacio “The Punisher” Gutierrez (4-3) of Mexico and Andres “The Bullet” Quintana (12-2) of the U.S. for the “Combate Estrellas II” extravaganza at Gimnasio Nuevo Leon in Monterrey, Mexico on Friday, April 20.

Tickets for “Combate Estrellas II,” the second installment of the two-part, live television event series featuring a collection of the world’s premier Hispanic MMA sports franchise’s top estrellas, or stars, go on today Friday, March 23 online at SuperBoletos.com.

“Combate Estrellas II” will be headlined by the previously announced bantamweight rematch between world-ranked superstar and Monterrey native Erik “Goyito” Perez (17-6) and hard-hitting finisher David “D.J.” Fuentes (13-10) of the U.S. Fuentes, who fights out of McAllen, Texas, defeated Perez by way of third Round (3:01) submission when the two met on May 28, 2010.

In other action announced today for Combate Estrellas II,” Marcelo “Pitbull” Rojo (13-5) of Argentina will square off with Fabian Galvan (8-3) of Mexico in a bantamweight contest.

Felipe “Pipe” Vargas (6-0) of Colombia will face Victor “Mad Dog” Madrigal (6-1) of Mexico in a bantamweight rematch to their initial meeting at “COPA COMBATE” in Cancun, Mexico on November 11, 2017 when Vargas edged out a split decision over Madrigal.

Enrique “Locote” Gonzalez (6-1) of Mexico will collide with Oscar Suarez (4-1) of Spain in a bantamweight tilt.

David Martinez (2-0) will risk his perfect record against fellow Mexican competitor and prolific striker Enrique Barragan (6-1) at bantamweight.

In one of two lightweight matchups, Ivan Perez (5-4) will do battle with fellow Mexican Ricardo “El Loco” Arreola (5-5) and, in the second, Jose Luis “El Pistolero” Medrano (5-2) of Mexico will go to war with Gleidson “Poney” Cutis (6-3) of Brazil.

In the previously announced bantamweight co-main event, Levy Saul “El Negro” Marroquin (11-2) of Monterrey will return to action on the heels of his historic and memorable victory of the inaugural “COPA COMBATE” one-night, eight-man, $100,000 grand prize tournament last November 11, to square off with rival, fast-rising star Alejandro “Gallito” Flores (11-1), also of Monterrey.

Leading off the three-bout live televised main card will be a women’s strawweight matchup between undefeated Melissa “Super Mely” Martinez (3-0) of Mexico City, Mexico, and Francis Hernandez (2-2) of Camuy, Puerto Rico.
