Romero vs Ashida<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romero stepped in for last year\u2019s Copa Combate winner Ramiro Jimenez, who couldn\u2019t fight travel issues.<\/p>\n

Romero, who had been training, but was waiting for an opportunity took the fight and excelled.<\/p>\n

There wasn\u2019t much action from Ashida, who has great striking, but Romero didn\u2019t explore the standup game and took the fight to ground where the Japanese has had challenges.<\/p>\n

Not much time went by as Romero locked in the rear naked choke at 4:45 to earn a victory. Romero was coming off a defeat by Ireland\u2019s Patrick Lehane back in December.<\/p>\n

Lloreda vs Yamada<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lloreda through everything he could to Yamada from flashy elbows and kicks, but his opponent wouldn\u2019t throw in the towel.<\/p>\n

In fact, at one point of the fight, a bloodied Yamada called for Lloreda to strike more. There were some shots Yamada landed, however, Lloreda had an overall offense which was too much for the Japanese.<\/p>\n

Lloreda took home the victory.<\/p>\n

Tarin vs Luna<\/strong><\/p>\n

The youngster dominated right from the start. She didn\u2019t give Luna an opportunity to show her offense. Tarin quickly took her opponent down and instantly got her in trouble. At 1:55 of the first round, the referee stepped in to stop the fight.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Juan Puerta defeated Ismael Zamora by rear naked choke in the second round at 1:31.<\/p>\n
