In one tournament bracket, undefeated Ramiro \u201cEl Cachanilla\u201d Jimenez<\/strong> <\/a>(7-0) of Ensenada, B.C., Mexico will square off with Pablo \u201cEl Mexicano\u201d Burgos<\/strong> (5-2) of Santiago, Chile, while Schenk of Clarksville, Tenn. will face Marlon \u201cDeriko Siete\u201d Gonzales<\/strong> (15-6-2) of Lima, Peru.<\/p>\n

The winner of the matchup between Jimenez and Burgos will face off with the winner of the contest between Schenk and Gonzales in the semifinal stage of the tournament, and the winner of the bout between Exposito and Garcia will meet the winner of the affair between Barna and Morales in the semifinal stage of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The two semifinal victors will collide in the championship fight for the $100,000 grand prize.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the five-year history of \u201cCOPA COMBATE\u201d, the tournament\u2019s quarterfinal stage will be comprised of two rounds, each five minutes in length, while the semifinal stage bouts will still be comprised of one round, five minutes in length, and the championship bout will consist of three rounds, each five minutes in length, the same lengths that the semifinal stage fights and championship fight, respectively, have been in the past.<\/p>\n

The additional round in the quarterfinal stage contests is intended to give each of the tournament fighters more time to warm up and execute their respective strategies.<\/p>\n

Between the semifinal stage and championship stage of the tournament, COMBATE GLOBAL announced today that a featured women\u2019s 119-pound catchweight fight between Jade \u201cThe Princess\u201d Jorand<\/strong> (4-2) and Naomie \u201cQueen Kong\u201d Young<\/strong> (1-1) will take place.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Jorand of Bordeaux, France is riding an impressive four-fight win streak, while Young, 26 years of age, of Orlando, Fla. was victorious over Dulce Vazquez in her last effort on July 16 by way of first round (1:46) submission (arm triangle choke).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
