Miami, FL<\/strong> -A winner of a mixed martial arts reality show will make his debut inside la jaula and a young superstar returns to action as she faces her toughest challenge to date.<\/p>\n

CG2021 September 17<\/a> is headlined by a Mexico vs USA themed matchup as featherweights Martin \u201cEl Toro\u201d Bravo (11-3) meets mma veteran Andrew \u201cThe Beast\u201d Whitney (16-9); Carlos \u201cEl Changuito\u201d Calvo Calvo (7-1) returns after a controversial defeat earlier this year as he battles Colombia\u2019s Javier \u201cBlair\u201d Reyes (11-3) and on the heels of a first round submission victory, Chile\u2019s Gloria La Gloriosa\u201d Bravo (5-5) will fight Mexico\u2019s young superstar Irlanda Galindo (1-0).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s analyze the upcoming CG2021 September 17 main card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Martin Bravo vs Andrew Whitney<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been two years since Bravo competed inside the cage, however, the Mexican is itching for a victory as he wants to earn a victory and snap his three-fight losing streak. He has defeats against fellow Combate Global fighter Humberto Bandenay, Alex Caceres and in his last fight a loss against Steven Peterson, which he lost by TKO in the second round.<\/p>\n

To switch gears, he is now training at the Nick Diaz Academy in Stockton, California. The Ultimate Fighter\u201d Latin America 3 winner is anticipated to bring a different style compared to his previous performance. Anticipate Bravo to stand up and break down Whitney leading him to the floor, where he can search for a submission. The Diaz brothers are known for a dirty boxing style with top notch jiu jitsu. Clearly, Bravo will put what he has learned to the test.<\/p>\n

However, Whitney is no walk in the park. The powerful fighter has a strong aggressive approach. Training with top level fighters over at Sanford MMA, Whitney is also on a losing streak. For him to get back on the winning column, he should not engage in a fist fight nor get too close to Bravo where he can quickly go for a takedown. Unlike Bravo, Whitney just competed last month. He should take advantage of a potential ring rust. Look for Whitney\u2019s hard shots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bravo vs Galindo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looks can be deceiving. That is the case for Galindo who is only 18 and just recently finished high school. The Mexican surprised the mma world with a submission victory against a tough judo expert in Maraya Miller back last month. The young fighter displayed a good arsenal with her hands and impressive ground game.<\/p>\n

However, she faces her toughest opponent in Bravo, who just defeated her opponent by way of submission. Expect Bravo to keep the fight standing known that Galindo displayed a reputable ground game. But Galindo is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with Bravo. It\u2019s an interesting matchup which could result in an exiting fight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Calvo vs Reyes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colombia\u2019s Reyes will face Costa Rica\u2019s Calvo, who has a bitter taste from his last fight. Calvo fought Levy Marroquin in a split decision in July. The judge\u2019s decision left many pondering the result. Either way, Calvo is focused is what is at stake with Reyes, who is riding on a two-fight win streak. His last fight was in May, which he won by submission in the third round.<\/p>\n

Calvo is a fast fighter not afraid to trade blows and even venture on the ground game. Reyes is not shy enough to interchange with his foes. Expect a three-round warfare between these two fighters hungry for a win.<\/p>\n
