The live Paramount+ stream of COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s event will begin with a 30-minute pre-<\/span><\/span>show, hosted by Jimmy Smith and Rodolfo Roman at 9:00 p.m. ET\/6:00 p.m. PT, and will continue with the first preliminary card bout at 9:30 p.m. ET\/6:30 p.m. PT.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The event will be headlined by a women\u2019s atomweight (105 pounds) matchup between undefeated, 23-year-old fast-rising star Estefania \u201cNaja\u201d Rodriguez<\/strong> (4-0) and fellow grappling ace, Stephanie Hernandez<\/strong> (3-1).<\/p>\n

Fighting out of Villahermosa, TB, Mexico, Rodriguez has yet to be defeated as a professional since her 2021 debut, and went unbeaten (4-0) as an amateur.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a member of the fight squad, Killer Bees Mexico.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Hernandez of Boise, Idaho boasts a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is looking for her fourth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n

In her last start that marked her promotional debut with COMBATE GLOBAL, Hernandez notched a unanimous decision over fellow American Natalie Schlesinger.<\/p>\n

The fight card\u2019s co-main event will be highlighted by the highly-anticipated professional debut of decorated, former Mexican national boxing and kickboxing champion, Ivan Nu\u00f1ez Miranda<\/strong> (0-0), who will take on unbeaten Loxbey Montalvan<\/strong> (1-0) in a bantamweight (135 pounds) contest.<\/p>\n

Fighting out of Navojoa, Son., Mexico, the 24-year-old Miranda enters the world of professional MMA after completing a sensational amateur career that saw him compete in a total of 61 kickboxing fights and 35 boxing bouts, and compile a perfect, 5-0 record on the amateur MMA circuit.<\/p>\n

During his tenure as an amateur, Miranda continuously displayed enormous potential with high volume striking and an in-your-face style of fighting that stifled his opposition.<\/p>\n

Montalvan is a 25-year-old resident of Miami and member of the fast-growing fight team at Goat Shed Academy.<\/p>\n

After a five-year amateur career, Montalvan made his professional debut on COMBATE GLOBAL\u2019s \u2018Exclusivo\u2019 reality show, scoring an explosive, second round (2:36) TKO on Daniel Gonzalez with a knee strike last November 18.<\/p>\n

Also in action, Yazmin \u201cLa Ni\u00f1a \u00c1rbol\u201d Najera<\/strong> (1-1) will make her second start in La Jaula against Katherinne Machuca<\/strong> (0-0) in a women\u2019s 120-pound catchweight contest.<\/p>\n

Leading off the undercard, Ramon \u201cWild Boy\u201d Vizcarra<\/strong> (6-5) of Mexicali, B.C., Mexico will square off with Alex \u201cCoyote\u201d Gonzalez<\/strong> (5-4) of Mexico City via Phoenix Ariz. at bantamweight.<\/p>\n
