MIAMI<\/span><\/span> \u2013 <\/span><\/span>July 5<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> 2023 <\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u2013<\/span><\/span> COMBATE GLOBAL today <\/span><\/span>announced <\/span><\/span>a bantamweight (135 pounds) main event showdown between Mexican star <\/span><\/span>Carlos Brise\u00f1o<\/span><\/span> (1<\/span><\/span>4<\/span><\/span>-3) and <\/span><\/span>two-time <\/span><\/span>Dominican <\/span><\/span>Republic national <\/span><\/span>champion <\/span><\/span>Micaias \u201cThe Pink Ranger\u201d Ure\u00f1a<\/span><\/span> (8-3) <\/span><\/span>for Saturday, July 8, live on <\/span><\/span>Paramount+ <\/span><\/span>from Miami.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s live Paramount+ stream will begin with a 30-minute pre-show co-hosted by COMBATE GLOBAL announcers <\/span><\/span>Jimmy Smith<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>Rodolfo Roman<\/span><\/span> at <\/span><\/span>10:30 p.m. ET\/7:30 p.m. PT, and will continue with the first preliminary bout at 11:00 p.m. ET\/8:00 p.m. PT.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis <\/span><\/span>fight <\/span><\/span>between two stars from Mexico and The Dominican Republic <\/span><\/span>accentuates COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s <\/span><\/span>format of country versus <\/span><\/span>country<\/span><\/span>, and<\/span><\/span> will really demonstrate what it means to represent your country in La <\/span><\/span>Jaula<\/span><\/span>,\u201d said COMBATE GLOBAL CEO <\/span><\/span>Campbell McLaren<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brise\u00f1o <\/span><\/span>is a member of Mexico\u2019s most fearsome<\/span><\/span> MMA<\/span><\/span> fight team, Bonebreakers<\/span><\/span>, led by founder and head trainer Raul Salas Navarro.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bonebreakers is the home<\/span><\/span> of <\/span><\/span>reigning COMBATE GLOBAL World Bantamweight Champion<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> David \u201cThe Black Spartan\u201d Martinez<\/span><\/span>, as well as <\/span><\/span>the camp <\/span><\/span>that emerged the winner of the <\/span><\/span>$1 million-peso<\/span><\/span> grand prize <\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span> COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s 2022 reality television series<\/span><\/span>, \u2018<\/span><\/span>Exclusivos<\/span><\/span>\u2019, which<\/span><\/span> pitted four prominent <\/span><\/span>MMA fight camps against one another in a series of bouts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A 2021 \u201cCOPA COMBATE\u201d one-night, eight-man tournament veteran, Brise\u00f1o will look to notch his <\/span><\/span>fourth victory in <\/span><\/span>five starts. \u00a0<\/span><\/span>In his last COMBATE GLOBAL <\/span><\/span>appearance<\/span><\/span> on July 1, 2022, Brise\u00f1o defeated American Andrew Whitney by way of unanimous decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span><\/span>he 28-year-old<\/span><\/span> Ure<\/span><\/span>\u00f1a<\/span><\/span> (8-3)<\/span><\/span> of <\/span><\/span>Santo Domingo<\/span><\/span> is <\/span><\/span>regarded as the number one bantamweight from The <\/span><\/span>Caribbean and<\/span><\/span> will <\/span><\/span>undoubtedly be the greatest challenge that Brise\u00f1o has had to face <\/span><\/span>in <\/span><\/span>10<\/span><\/span> years competing as a professional<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/span> fast-paced, aggressive-minded competitor who has earned all 8 of his professional victories to date via (T)KO or action<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Ure\u00f1a<\/span><\/span>will <\/span><\/span>make <\/span><\/span>his COMBATE<\/span><\/span> GLOBAL debut<\/span><\/span> in the midst of<\/span><\/span> a three-fight winning streak. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In his last effort, <\/span><\/span>Ure\u00f1a<\/span><\/span> scored a first round (1:55) knockout of Andres Cordero Cordova with a head kick.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s co-main event will pit <\/span><\/span>Jade Jorand<\/span><\/span> (3-2) against <\/span><\/span>Katie Perez<\/span><\/span> (<\/span><\/span>4-<\/span><\/span>4) in a 110-pound catchweight contest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Since getting off to a slow start with her professional career, the 22-year-old Jorand<\/span><\/span>, a kickboxing specialist,<\/span><\/span> has <\/span><\/span>shown marked improvement, winning each of her last three matchups<\/span><\/span> under the promotion of COMBATE GLOBAL.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her<\/span><\/span> latest <\/span><\/span>fight<\/span><\/span> saw <\/span><\/span>Jorand<\/span><\/span> dominate Spanish veteran Irene Cabello Rivera for three straight rounds before walking away with a unanimous decision.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jorand\u2019s<\/span><\/span> opponent, <\/span><\/span>30-year-old Perez of Greensboro, N.C., is <\/span><\/span>primarily a grappler, who has earned three of her four <\/span><\/span>professional<\/span><\/span> wins by way of submission.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Last in action on May 13, Perez scored her the first knockout of her professional career, stopping Mexican Stephanie <\/span><\/span>Irurzo<\/span><\/span> in the third round (2:47).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the third main card bout and second featured women\u2019s matchup, <\/span><\/span>26-year-old <\/span><\/span>Andrea Meneses<\/span><\/span> (4-1) of Barcelona Spain<\/span><\/span> will look to rebound from her only defeat to date when she <\/span><\/span>goes up against <\/span><\/span>Maria Paz Silva<\/span><\/span> (0-0) of Temuco, Chile<\/span><\/span> at atomweight (105 pounds).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Paz Silva will make <\/span><\/span>her professional MMA rules debut after amassing a stellar professional kickboxing record of 12-4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The preliminary bout card will be highlighted by the COMBATE GLOBAL debut of another kickboxing star \u2013 <\/span><\/span>Diego Freitas<\/span><\/span> (0-1) of <\/span><\/span>Lisbon<\/span><\/span>, Portugal<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Freitas, whose kickboxing record stands at 32-9, will square off with <\/span><\/span>Luis <\/span><\/span>M<\/span><\/span>o<\/span><\/span>urdoch<\/span><\/span> (0-0) of <\/span><\/span>Miami <\/span><\/span>at featherweight (145 pounds).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Leading off the undercard will be a women\u2019s strawweight (115 pounds) bout between <\/span><\/span>Andreia<\/span><\/span> Filipa<\/span><\/span> (0-1) of Sines, Portugal and <\/span><\/span>Violeta Mendoza<\/span><\/span> (0-0) of Ciudad Ju<\/span><\/span>\u00e1<\/span><\/span>rez, <\/span><\/span>Chih<\/span><\/span>., Mexico.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
