HERNANDEZ VS MONTANEZ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hernandez is undefeated in la jaula and he is riding on a three fight win streak this year. Both of his Combate Global wins have come by knockouts.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Montanez steps in the jaula for the first time and puts his undefeated record on the line. Three of his victories have come by way of submission or stoppage.<\/p>\n

Montanez has a heavy straight right hand and a hard-hitting left hook. Anticipate Montanez to be the aggressor of the two fighters. He might also pull out some tricks with some unexpected spinning elbow.<\/p>\n

On the other side, Hernandez is an aggressive fighter, and he won\u2019t back down from a fight. He too will bring his set of arsenals. Lookout for fast hands, combinations, and good footwork. He counts on a good jab setting him up for a flurry of punches and quick kicks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AMAYA VS VILLANUEVA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both women will make their professional debut on a large stage. Nerves will kick in, but once settled anticipate both fighters to test each other and find out what direction the fight will go.<\/p>\n

Although both had amateur experiences, once the bright lights and cameras are on them, the mental aspect comes into play.<\/p>\n

Villanueva took the fight in days\u2019 notice, while Amaya has been ready to make her decut since the summer. However, expect to experiment before she finds herself in the fight.<\/p>\n

Amaya, a registered nurse, likes to grapple but can throw heavy hands. She trains with Juliana Pena, Combate Global commentator, at the Sikjitsu and promises to deliver a competitive fight.<\/p>\n

CRISTIAN BARRAZA VS DIEGO SILVA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silva makes his debut inside la jaula against a favorite of Combate Global in Chile\u2019s Cristian Barraza who is in search for his first win this year.<\/p>\n

However, unlike other fights where a win is just a win, Barraza is competing for a spot in this year\u2019s Copa Combate and represent his country.<\/p>\n

He is taking this fight personally as he has not been home since his last competition in September. He has spent his time at Blacxicans training ground in Mexico improving on his boxing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Silva\u2019s made his professional debut in May. His debut was in a tournament where he won. However, he is currently in a two-fight losing streak and would like to get back to the win column.<\/p>\n

The fact that Barraza has been working on his boxing is proof he wants to keep the fight standing considering that all of Silva\u2019s victory have been by way of submission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
