JIMBO SLICE TAKES ON SPAIN\u2019S BORIS GARCIA IN A <\/strong><\/p>\n

WELTERWEIGHT CLASH OF A FIVE-FIGHT CARD ON SATURDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

MIAMI <\/strong>\u2013 June 28, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 COMBATE GLOBAL today announced its next Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) card headlined by the return of unbeaten welterweight (170 pounds) \u201cJimbo Slice\u201d<\/strong> (2-0) on Saturday, July 1, live on Paramount Plus (7:30 p.m. ET) from Miami.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Jimbo Slice, aka Jimmie Pace, Jr., of Miami will make his third professional start against Boris Garcia<\/strong> (2-1).<\/p>\n

A member of the fast-growing fight team at Goat Shed Academy, Jimbo, a former professional football player, went unbeaten with a 5-0 record as an amateur before bursting onto the professional scene last year and taking out \u201cBig Al\u201d Albert Gonzales, a veteran of seven professional bouts, just one minute into their matchup, by way of TKO with a flurry of punches.<\/p>\n

Jimbo returned to action for the first time this year, again stopping his opponent, Jose Matuz of Mexico, inside of the first round (4:36) with an arm triangle choke.<\/p>\n

Standing opposite Jimbo, Garcia of Barcelona, Spain is a 33-year-old member of MMA Barcelona Team.<\/p>\n

Garcia will return to competition for the first time since July 3, 2021 when he scored a second round (2:41) TKO (punches) on Mohamed Dial.<\/p>\n

In a featured flyweight (125 pounds) matchup, Diego \u201cEl Terror\u201d Ortiz<\/strong> (10-4) will collide with Elias \u201cEl Pescador\u201d Garcia <\/strong>(8-2).<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Ortiz hails from Guatemala City, Guatemala and is fighting out of Tjuana, B.C., Mexico, and is looking to secure his third consecutive victory after defeating each of his last two opponents \u2013 Erick Rodriguez and Christian Cerda \u2013 by way of submission (rear-naked choke and heel hook) in the third (1:39) and first (1:54) rounds, respectively.<\/p>\n

Ortiz has earned 7 of his 10 professional career wins by way of (T)KO or submission.<\/p>\n

Like Ortiz, the 30-year-old Garcia, fighting out of Milwaukee, Wis., is seeking his third straight win after defeating each of his first two Combate Global opponents \u2013 Ivan Lopez and Leandro Soares \u2013 via third round (2:36) submission (rear-naked choke) and unanimous decision, respectively.<\/p>\n

Garcia, a former undefeated amateur competitor, has notched 6 of his 8 professional wins by way of (T)KO or submission.<\/p>\n

The third main card bout, a women\u2019s atomweight (105 pounds) contest, will pit professional debut competitor Marina Rodriguez<\/strong> (0-0) of Sevilla, Spain against Lupe \u201cDynamite Kid\u201d Mateo<\/strong> (0-0) of Miami.<\/p>\n

In a non-televised preliminary bout, Marcos \u201cEl Lobo\u201d Lloreda<\/strong> (12-8) of Miami will face Rogelio Melgoza<\/strong> (5-4) of Albuquerque, N.M.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the undercard will be an atomweight clash between Natalie Schlesinger<\/strong> (2-1) of Tinton Falls, N.J. and Stephanie Hernandez<\/strong> (2-1) of Boise, Idaho.<\/p>\n
