NEW YORK <\/strong>\u2013 February 2, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 Combate Global today announced that it has signed 19-year-old bantamweight (135 pounds) Angelo Pettis<\/strong> (1-0) to an exclusive, multi-fight promotional agreement.<\/p>\n

Pettis, the cousin of MMA sensations Anthony \u201cShowtime\u201d Pettis and Angelo Pettis, will debut for Combate Global in Miami, Fla. on a date to be announced soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigning with Combate is my opportunity to jump straight into a big league,\u201d said Pettis. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to be limited to competing in the Midwest. I want to showcase my talent immediately on a global stage, and I\u2019m ready to prove myself against anyone Combate puts in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pettis made his professional debut last November 5, scoring a first round (2:23) TKO on Thomas Vievering in Dubuque, Iowa. Prior to turning pro, Pettis had been unbeaten as an amateur, with a 3-0 record.<\/p>\n

Like the elder fighting members of his family, Pettis, who hails from Milwaukee, Wis., trains out of Roufusport MMA, the camp founded and led by four-time world Muay Thai champion, Jeff \u201cDuke\u201d Roufus. Pettis trains under Roufus and Scott Cushman.<\/p>\n

On continuing his family\u2019s legacy in MMA, Pettis stated \u201cIt gives me even more motivation to go out there and finish fights not only the Pettis way, but also my way.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Pettis, Combate Global announced that it has signed undefeated, 22-year-old featherweight (145 pounds) Esteban Sedano<\/strong> and unbeaten welterweight (170 pounds) \u201cJimbo Slice\u201d<\/strong> Jimmie Pace, Jr.<\/strong> to exclusive, multi-fight promotional agreements.<\/p>\n

Fighting out of Guadalajara, JL, Mexico, Sedano maintained an aggressive schedule in 2022, competing four times in a span of just nine months, and reeling off four consecutive victories.<\/p>\n

Sedano\u2019s latest conquest came on September 30, when he scored a third round (:56) knockout on Leandro Urquiza with a vicious body punch.<\/p>\n

Pace, Jr., better known as \u201cJimbo Slice\u201d, is a 26-year-old native of Miami and a member of the fast-growing team at Goat Shed Academy.<\/p>\n

Also unbeaten as an amateur with a 3-0 record that he produced with two TKO wins and a submission, Slice exploded onto the professional scene last November 4, scoring first round (1:00) TKO (punches) on Albert Gonzales, a veteran of seven professional bouts at the time.<\/p>\n
