PLUS, IN A FEATURED FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT, <\/strong><\/p>\n

JAIR PEREZ COLLIDES WITH GENIER PENAGOS<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIAMI <\/strong>\u2013 March 29, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 Combate Global today announced a complete, five-bout Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight lineup, featuring the return of undefeated phenoms \u201cEl Cazador\u201d Lazaro Dayron<\/strong><\/a> (5-0) and Melissa \u201cMambo\u201d Amaya<\/strong><\/a> (5-0), live on Univision (1 a.m. ET\/10 p.m. PT) from Miami, Fla. on Saturday, April 1.<\/p>\n

Dayron of Havana, Cuba via Miami, Fla. will collide with Nathan \u201cViolent Money\u201d Greyson<\/strong> (6-4) in a bantamweight (135 pounds) bout.<\/p>\n

Amaya will take on fellow Spokane, Wash. resident Gillian \u201cValkyrie\u201d Noll<\/strong> (3-2) in a flyweight (125 pounds) battle.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Dayron is a former, nine-time national medalist in freestlyle wrestling in his native Cuba as well as a multiple-time international champion, who exploded onto the Combate Global scene last year with back-to-back wins during the production of the organization\u2019s latest reality series, Duelo de Equipos<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In particular, Dayron\u2019s Combate Global debut – a matchup with Jose Serral last August 19 – – showed off the Cuban fighter\u2019s high-pressure style of wrestling that he utilizes in tandem with striking on the ground – a style that his trainer Asim Zaidi has dubbed \u201csmesh grappling\u201d – and a strategy that led him to a first round (1:34) TKO (strikes) of Serral.<\/p>\n

Greyson of London, England is a former U.K. MMA champion with a dangerous striking arsenal on his feet, and a level of competitive experience that Dayron has not been faced with to date.<\/p>\n

The co-founder of VM Academy in London, Greyson trains under Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Hilton Sousa as well as former fellow champion, Dom Wooding.<\/p>\n

Amaya is a 28-year-old prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Rick Little, the original mentor of former world champion Julianna Pe\u00f1a, and a homegrown Combate Global star who has been fast-tracked in the MMA world, competing and winning five times under the promotion of Combate Global since her professional debut in October 2021.<\/p>\n

Noll is a 24-year-old powerhouse, looking for her third consecutive victory after back-to-back wins in 2022. In her last effort, Noll defeated Spain\u2019s Aitana Alvarez via unanimous decision on October 7.<\/p>\n

In another featured contest, Jair \u201cEl Lupe\u201d Perez<\/strong><\/a> (7-3) will mix it up with Genier \u201cBattosai\u201d Penagos<\/strong> (7-3).<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Perez of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico is looking to rebound from a hard-fought, unanimous decision defeat at the hands of American Justin Vazquez last August 26.Prior to the bout with Vazquez, Perez had won four consecutive fights in La Jaula, the Combate Global competition cage.<\/p>\n

Penagos is a 27-year-old native of Caracas, Venezuela and a relative newcomer to Combate Global.<\/p>\n

A winner of 5 of his last 7 bouts, Penagos has also notched 5 of his 7 career victories by way of (T)KO or submission.<\/p>\n

In non-televised undercard action, Luis Fernando Chavez<\/strong> (3-0) of Ciudad Juarez, Chih., Mexico will square off with fellow unbeaten, rising star Adam Ortiz<\/strong> (3-0) of Tucson, Ariz. in a bantamweight matchup.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the undercard will be a featherweight (145 pounds) scrap between David \u201cDZ Machine\u201d Zelner<\/strong> (4-1) of Merritt Island, Fla. and Isaac \u201cMuelas\u201d Ruelas<\/strong> (4-4) of Tijuana, B.C.<\/p>\n
