Ureña vs Briseno

Although it was his debut for Combate Global, Ureña, who won many belts in kickboxing in his native country, did not show any nerves competing against a man very familiar with the cage.   Briseno kept consistent with his striking, but Ureña found was with his footwork to counter appropriately.

Occasionally, Ureña threw roundhouse kicks and knees when he found the right timing. However, Briseño has a strong chin and is thought as nails. In comparison, Briseño was the bigger fighter, but Ureña didn’t show any setbacks due to the size difference.

Towards the end of the third round, Ureña went to back and forth in a brawl. Ureña landed knees and elbows while in the pocket enough to convince the judges that he deserved the win.

Jorand vs Perez

As Jorand usually starts her fights, she came in fast with her striking, but Perez took several shots and found the right timing to take her down. From the middle of the first round and on, Perez dominated on the ground.

But with Jorand managed to make it to the second round. In the second and third round, Jorand made the proper adjustments and Perez, desperate for another takedown, couldn’t find a grip on taking Jorand down.

She modified her game plan and stopped any attempt at Perez’s takedown sprawling consistently.

In the last round, Jorand seemed to all but nearly have the fight in the bag but couldn’t get the referee to stop the fight so she settled for a unanimous decision victory.

Meneses vs Paz

Meneses suffered her first defeat last time around she competed inside la jaula. She knew she had to fix her ground game so she invested in enrolling in a jiu jitsu to focus on her ground game.

It paid off. She dominated Paz on the ground. Paz, who made her professional debut, was fierce with her striking but Meneses’, experience inside la jaula came in handy when she put her ground work on display.

Paz couldn’t find relief when she was taken to the ground.

Meneses took the win by unanimous decision.
