UNDEFEATED MEXICAN SENSATION RAMIRO JIMENEZ FACES URUGUAY\u2019S NICO BARNA IN FEATHERWEIGHT ACTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED WOMEN\u2019S ATOMWEIGHT <\/strong><\/p>\n

MAIN EVENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

ANA PALACIOS (MEXICO) VS. CHIHIRO SAWADA (JAPAN)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIAMI <\/strong>\u2013 May 10, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 COMBATE GLOBAL today announced the completion of its Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight card for Saturday, May 13, live on Univision (1 a.m. ET\/10 p.m. PT) from Miami.<\/p>\n

In one of two new bouts announced today, undefeated sensation Ramiro \u201cEl Cachanilla\u201d Jimenez<\/strong> (6-0) will collide with fellow standout Nico Barna<\/strong> (7-2) in a featherweight (145 pounds) clash on the live Univision televised main card.<\/p>\n

The fearsome, 24-year-old Jimenez, who hails from Mexicali, B.C., Mexico, but has been training at Miami\u2019s Goat Shed Academy for his upcoming bout, boasts five first-round stoppages on his resume.<\/p>\n

Barna is a 27-year-old native of Montevideo, Uruguay, a black belt in kickboxing, and a seven-year professional MMA veteran who will make his debut on U.S. soil when he faces Jimenez.<\/p>\n

Barna will look to bounce back from a third round (4:40) submission (rear-naked choke) defeat at the hands of Heber Federico Pereyra on May 21, 2022. Prior to that fight, Barna had been riding a four-fight win streak.<\/p>\n

Also announced today was a non-televised women\u2019s atomweight (105 pounds) preliminary card matchup between Katie Perez<\/strong> (3-4) of Cullowhee, N.C. and Stephanie Irurzo<\/strong> (0-4-1) of San Luis Potosi, SLP, Mexico.<\/p>\n

The previously announced, live Univision televised main event matchup will see the world\u2019s number one women\u2019s atomweight (105 pounds) competitor Ana \u201cLa Guerrera\u201d Palacios<\/strong> <\/a>(7-1-1) of Mexico City, Mexico square off with former collegiate wrestling champion turned unbeaten MMA competitor, Chihiro Sawada<\/strong> (4-0-1) of Tokyo.<\/p>\n

In a previously announced main card welterweight (170 pounds) bout that will air on the live Univision broadcast, Victor \u201cPsicosis\u201d Valenzuela<\/strong> (9-3) of Santiago, Chile will battle veteran star Shinsho \u201cAnimal\u201d Anzai<\/strong> (9-4) of Tokyo.<\/p>\n

A previously announced third fight between a COMBATE GLOBAL roster fighter and an opponent from Japan will pit COMBATE\u2019s Geralbert \u201cWolverine\u201d Castillo<\/strong> (5-3) of Miami against unbeaten Yuji Yannick<\/strong> (3-0) of Tokyo at a catchweight of 160 pounds on the non-televised preliminary bout card.<\/p>\n
