NEW YORK <\/strong>\u2013 March 31, 2022 <\/strong>\u2013 Combate Global today announced that it will produce an-women\u2019s Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight card for the televised portion of its second event of 2022 on Friday, April 8, live from Miami on Univision (12 a.m. ET\/PT) and TUDN USA (12 a.m. ET\/9 p.m. PT) in the U.S. and on TUDN in Mexico (11 p.m. local time).<\/p>\n

Headlining the event will be reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Muay Thai champion Claudia Diaz<\/strong> <\/a>(1-3 MMA, 17-7-1 Muay Thai), who will take on fellow MMA upstart Manuela \u201cThe Butcher\u2019s Daughter\u201d Marconetto<\/strong> (1-1 MMA, 4-1 Muay Thai) in a strawweight (115 pounds) contest.<\/p>\n

Diaz of Barcelona, Spain via Houston, Texas will make her first stand of the New Year on her 27th<\/sup> birthday. Diaz burst onto the Combate Global scene last year when she scored a devastating, second round (3:27) TKO (punches) on \u201cSexy\u201d Dulce Garcia April 30, 2021.<\/p>\n

Fighting out of London, England, Marconetto, 31 years old, is a native of Torino, Italy, and member of Great Britain Top Team coached by Brad Pickett.<\/p>\n

Marconetto is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Stephanie Essensa on January 15.<\/p>\n

In an atomweight (105 pounds), co-main event, Irlanda Galindo<\/strong> (1-1) will battle Anna \u201cHoney Badger\u201d Somers<\/strong> (0-1).<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Somers will look for her first win as a professional, following a six-fight amateur career during which she recorded four wins against two losses, including three victories by way of (T)KO or submission.<\/p>\n

In a featured bout on the card, Flor De Durazno Chavez Pastrana<\/strong> (0-0) of Mexico City will make her professional debut against Blanca Marquez<\/strong> (0-1) of Las Vegas, Nev. in a flyweight (125 pounds) contest.<\/p>\n
