Preview: CG 2022 October 21: Cisneros vs Vizcarra
October 19, 2022
Miami FL – It will be a Mexican scrap when Victor “Ragnar” Cisneros (5-1) takes on Ramon “Wild Boy” Vizcarra (5-4) in this week’s main event of the CG 2022 October 21: Cisneros vs. Vizcarra fight card.
Also, two men return to la jaula in a fight at a catchweight of 150 pounds when Mexico’s Alejandro “Pato” Martinez (13-4-1) takes on Shaheen “Shazam” Santana (6-2).
Cisneros vs Vizcarra
Prior to his Combate Global debut in September, Cisneros posted four submission wins and one TKO win. He had never fought three rounds. However, Sean Mora ended his undefeated professional record when Cisneros suffered his first loss to the fighter via unanimous decision.
There were times when Cisneros looked for possibilities to submit his opponent, but Mora’s fight made it difficult. The Mexican Pride gym fighter, who trains with MMA veteran Rodrigo “Kazula” Vargas, wants to put his small town in Chiapas, Mexico on the MMA map. He has a black belt in Taekwondo and a blue belt in Luta Livre.
Meanwhile, Vizcarra is coming off a submission win against Ulysses Molina in the first round via guillotine choke. Four of his victories have come via guillotine choke and one by rear naked choke. He also has a unanimous decision win.
He trains with Maranatha Kickboxing and BJJ. Currently, he holds a purple belt in jiu jitsu, but is training for a black belt.
Both men will start of striking and it will evolve in the latter part of the fight. Cisneros has good boxing, while Vizcarra has great kickboxing, so expect him to show a lot of hand and leg combinations. Where it will be interesting is if the fight goes to ground where both men have been very successful.
Santana vs. Martinez
After being undefeated for almost five years, Santana was on the rise to become successful, but it was in November 2020 that he picked up his first loss. Last year, he looked to bounce back, but when he stepped into la jaula against Jair Perez, it unfortunately didn’t go his way to lose the fight via split decision.
The MMA Masters fighter has been waiting to compete, but couldn’t find an opponent. Most of his wins have been by submission.
On the opposite side, Martinez returns to action since he last saw action inside the cage against Adrián Guzmán in February 2020. Since then, he is enjoying a four-fight win streak not including a draw. Like Santana, this will be his first fight in 2022.
Anticipate a back-and-forth exchange of hands. Both men haven’t competed in nearly a year, so they’ll want to make a statement early on. However, the advantage on the floor goes to Santana. It would be beneficial for Martinez to have the fight on the feet. This could be the fight of the night.
