WORLD BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MAIN EVENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

DAVID \u201cTHE BLACK SPARTAN\u201d MARTINEZ (CHAMPION) VS. AXEL OSUNA (CHALLENGER)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALL-MEXICAN WORLD TITLE FIGHT <\/strong><\/p>\n

PITS TWO OF MMA\u2019S TOP YOUNG SENSATIONS, <\/strong><\/p>\n

WITH A COMBINED 92-PLUS PERCENT FINISH RATE,<\/strong><\/p>\n

AGAINST EACH OTHER<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEW YORK <\/strong>\u2013 September 29, 2022 <\/strong>\u2013 Combate Global has announced a world championship Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event, headlined by a bantamweight (135 pounds) title fight between reigning world champion David \u201cThe Black Spartan\u201d Martinez<\/strong><\/a> (8-1) and challenger Axel Osuna<\/strong><\/a> (5-1), live on television on Univision (12 a.m. ET\/PT) and TUDN (12 a.m. ET\/9 p.m. PT) from Miami, Fla. on Friday, Oct. 7.<\/p>\n

Together, Martinez and Osuna boast an astounding finish rate of over 92 percent, having earned all but 1 of their 13 combined victories by way of (T)KO or submission.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartinez vs. Osuna is a very even match of speed, power and skill,\u201d said Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren. \u201cI think the winner will be the one with the most heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old Martinez of Mexico City, Mexico is a prolific striker with a tremendous kickboxing pedigree. He earned his coveted title by defeating three opponents \u2013 fellow Mexicans Alex \u201cCoyote\u201d Gonzalez and Alan \u201cBeche\u201d Cantu, and American star Francisco \u201cCisco\u201d Rivera, Jr., respectively – in a one-night, eight-man tournament on May 29, 2021.<\/p>\n

In his last effort, Martinez, a member of the Bonebreakers fight squad, scored a brutal first round (2:08) TKO (punches) on Chile\u2019s Arturo Vergara in a non-title fight last May 29.<\/p>\n

The challenger, 25-year-old Osuna of Guadalajara, J.L., Mexico, will look to earn his first professional world title, as well as his third consecutive victory in 2022.<\/p>\n

Thus far, Osuna has turned in a pair of third round (T)KO conquests in 2022 \u2013 the first on Combate Global\u2019s 2021 \u201cComeback of the Year\u201d winner, Max \u201cSteel\u201d Gonzalez on May 13, and the second on David Solorzano on August 26.<\/p>\n

Prior to entering the world of MMA, Osuna was a Golden Gloves boxing champion who amassed over 100 amateur boxing bouts.<\/p>\n

In a featured welterweight (170 pounds) bout on the card, Marcos Lloreda<\/strong> (11-8) of Miami will face off with Ricardo Centeno<\/strong> (9-6) of Ecuador via Newark, N.J.<\/p>\n

A women\u2019s flyweight (125 pounds) contest will see Aitana Alvarez<\/strong> (2-3) of San Sebastian, Spain return to La Jaula, the Combate Global competition cage, for the third time this year, when she squares off with Gillian \u201cValkyrie\u201d Noll<\/strong> (2-2) of Post Falls, Idaho.<\/p>\n

At featherweight (145 pounds), undefeated Yadier Del Valle<\/strong> (3-0) of Houston, Texas will make his much-anticipated Combate Global debut against Miguel Lugo<\/strong> (2-1) of Yuma, Ariz.<\/p>\n

In a women\u2019s strawweight (115 pounds) matchup, kickboxer Damaris Olivares<\/strong> (0-0) of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain will make her MMA rules debut against Diana Sanchez<\/strong> (0-0) of Bellingham, Wash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
