Lloreda vs Basurto<\/b><\/p>\n

Coming off two victories by way of decision, Lloreda aimed for a quick win to make a statement as one of the top welterweights in Combate Global. However, Basurto, who has won several titles in other promotions and took the fight on weeks\u2019 notice, came in determined to make a name for himself.<\/p>\n

Both men battled in the pocked for most of the fight trading jabs and straights. Lloreda said after the fight he probably was knocked out in the exchange as did his opponent.<\/p>\n

But the difference was Lloreda\u2019s takedown offense. The Freedom Fighter athlete landed three takedowns and the one that won him the fight was in the last round.<\/p>\n

Lloreda has now fought seven times in la jaula.<\/p>\n

Vargas vs Medina<\/b><\/p>\n

Medina looked for the quick finish, but Vargas was not for the long trip to Miami only to comeback home with a defeat.<\/p>\n

In the first round, Medina had the upper hand in the stand-up game and later taking the fight to the ground where she had the advantage. However, Vargas did enough to escape any dangerous waters.<\/p>\n

In the middle of the second chapter of the fight, Vargas picked up the pace and flipped the script on Medina, who seemed to be losing gas.<\/p>\n

On the ground, Vargas transitioned and obtained the mount position where she landed punches damaging her for.<\/p>\n

Toward the middle of the third round, Medina just didn\u2019t seem like her head was in the fight.<\/p>\n

Vargas picked up the split decision victory.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez vs Villasmil<\/b><\/p>\n

Known for his excitement, Villasmil delivered incredible spinning kicks and intense over hand rights for the most of the first round, however, Gonzalez withstood the storm.<\/p>\n

In the second round, Villasmil was a different fighter coming in less active and Mexico\u2019s Gonzalez read him like a book.<\/p>\n

He took down a less energetic Villasmil where he dominated and obtained the rear naked choke. An excited Gonzalez earned a victory on Mexican flag day.<\/p>\n
