CATCHWEIGHT (150 POUNDS) MAIN EVENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

MOSES DIAZ (USA) VS. JUAN \u201cEL PROFE\u201d PORTO (URUGUAY)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>NEW YORK <\/strong>\u2013 October 10, 2022 <\/strong>\u2013 Combate Global today announced its complete, five-bout Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) card, 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. 14.<\/p>\n

In a 150-pound catchweight main event, undefeated phenom Moses Diaz<\/strong> (4-0) will face his toughest challenge to date in battle-tested veteran and submission expert, Juan \u201cEl Profe\u201d Porto<\/strong> (11-3).<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Diaz of Phoenix, Ariz. will return to action for the first time since setting a new record for the fastest finish in Combate Global history by scoring an incredible, six-second knockout on Costa Rica\u2019s Carlos Cordoba Fonseca with a right hand to the chin that immediately crumbled Cordoba Fonseca.<\/p>\n

To date, not one of his opponents in either the professional ranks or during his four-fight amateur career has been able to take the hard-punching Diaz the distance of a fight.<\/p>\n

A veteran of more than three times as many fights as Diaz, the 37-year-old Porto, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, is fighting out of Miami\u2019s MMA Masters gym, and originally hails from Uruguay where he has won three different, regional MMA championships.<\/p>\n

On May 15, Porto competed for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, submitting Nicol\u00e1s G\u00f3mez Gomez with a rear-naked choke in the second round (3:15) of their matchup that took place in Brazil.<\/p>\n

In a featured welterweight (170 pounds) contest, Daniel Sanchez<\/strong> (3-2) of Mexico City, Mexico will battle Gerardo Bazaldua<\/strong> (2-2) of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico.<\/p>\n

In a featured women\u2019s atomweight (105 pounds) matchup, Katie \u201cMaquina Asesina\u201d Perez<\/strong> (3-3) of Cullowhee, N.C. will make her third appearance of the year in La Jaula, the Combate Global competition cage, and square off with Kayla \u201cK-Rock\u201d Hracho<\/strong> (3-4) of West Palm Beach, Fla.<\/p>\n

The preliminary bout card will host a welterweight scrap between Gabriel Morales<\/strong> (4-3) of Deerfield Beach, Fla. and Scottie Stockman<\/strong> (4-2) of Ashland, Ore.<\/p>\n

The event will begin with a flyweight (125 pounds) tilt between Javier \u201cEl Pantera\u201d Valdebenito<\/strong> (2-1) of Santiago, Chile and Henry Beltran<\/strong> (0-0) of El Centro, Calif.<\/p>\n
