NEW YORK – Combate Global today announced a five-fight lineup for Friday, July 22, live on television in the U.S. on Univision and TUDN USA (12 a.m. ET) from Miami.
In the bantamweight main event, 22-year-old wrecking machine Ismael “Kraken” Zamora (3-1) will face off with fellow Mexican upstart Carlos “La Anguila” Mascorro (4-3).
A member of the famed Bonebreakers team that is also home to reigning Combate Global world bantamweight champion David Martinez, Zamora of Mexico City is one of the sport’s most highly regarded, pound-for-pound prospects who has earned all of his victories to date by way of knockout or submission.
Zamora will make his third appearance of 2022 in la jaula, the Combate Global competition cage, following back-to-back victories that he produced just two weeks apart on April 8 and April 22, respectively.
Mascorro is a 26-year-old and another highly touted Mexican prospect fighting out of Chihuahua.
Mascorro is a seasoned striker who holds a brown belt in karate, coming off a two-year hiatus from competition due to an injury.
A women’s atomweight co-main event will see 2021 “Heart of a Fighter” award winner, Gloria “Gloriosa” Bravo (6-5), collide with John Kavanagh protege Katie “Queen of the North” Saull (4-5).
Bravo of Santiago, Chile is looking to notch her third consecutive win following back-to-back victories just two weeks apart last September 3 and September 17, when she scored a first-round submission win over France’s Jade Jorand and a unanimous decision over Mexico’s Irlanda Galindo, respectively.
Fighting out of Dublin, Ireland, Saull, originally from Manitoba, Canada, is a member of Kavanagh’s Straight Blast Gym fight squad. She is gunning for her second straight victory following a first-round submission of Tamika Jones on January 12.
In a featured featherweight contest, Jordan “Bull” Beltran (12-8) of Colima, Mexico will face off with Jose “Chepe” Mariscal (11-6) of Denver, Colo.
The preliminary bout card will be highlighted by the MMA debut of kickboxing star Damari Olivares (0-0) of Las Palmas, Spain. Olivares will battle Angel Blackwell (0-0) of Atlanta, Ga. in a strawweight affair.
At lightweight, Alexander Sanchez (3-3) of San Luis Potosi, Mexico will meet Gabriel Morales (3-3) of Caracas, Venezuela via Miami.
