Fresno – February 21, 2019 – Fighters hit the scale and faced off today, one day before the Combate Americas “Mexico vs. USA” Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., live on television in the U.S. in Spanish on Univision (12 a.m. ET/PT), UDN (12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT) and in the U.S. and Canada in English on DAZN (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT).

The weigh-in event was also streamed live via Facebook Watch.

Main event opponents Pablo “El Gallo” Negro Sabori (9-5) of San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mex. and Anthony “The Shark” Avila (17-5) of Sacramento, Calif. weighed in at 149.2 pounds and 151 pounds, respectively, for their 150-pound main event showdown.
