Since re-locating from her native Reading, Penn. to join Thomas at the South Florida-based American Top Team, the 31-year-old Hracho has gained a wealth of competitive experience, racking up an amateur record of 7-2 before turning professional in 2019.In her last start, Hracho edged out a split decision over fellow American Katie Perez in Combate Global action on October 14, 2022.
