Combate Americas<\/strong> will arrive in Lake Tahoe for the first time with its much-anticipated world championship doubleheader event,<\/a> which will take place on Friday, Aug. 23, live on television in the U.S. in Spanish, on both Univision (12 a.m. ET\/PT) and UDN (12 a.m. ET\/9 p.m. PT),\u00a0 and live in the U.S. and Canada in English on DAZN (9:30 p.m. ET\/6:30 p.m. PT).<\/p>\n

Quintana<\/strong> <\/a>and Cannetti<\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0first fought each other in a controversial fight in early December of last year.\u00a0 Each fighter was representing his respective country in Copa Combate 2018, an 8-man-tournament where the winner takes home a prize of 100,000 dollars.<\/p>\n

Cannetti, 30, defeated Joey Ruquet<\/strong> decisively in the quarter finals of Copa Combate, via TKO in just 1:32 into the first round, sending a clear message to his next opponents.<\/p>\n

In the semifinals, both fighters threw everything they had. Cannetti<\/strong><\/a> managed to knock down Quintana with a powerful right hand in the first minute of the first round, putting the American in real danger. However, Quintana<\/strong> <\/a>managed to recover from began to throw his own\u00a0 combinations in aggressive fashion until the fight was stopped for volume of strikes over the course of a minute. The stoppage was viewed as controversial, with some (include Cannetti himself) feeling that the Argentinian fighter should have been allowed to continue.<\/p>\n

Quintana<\/strong> <\/a>continued his path in Copa Combate 2018<\/strong>, facing the talented Alejandro Flores<\/strong> in the tournament final.\u00a0 Quintana defeated Flores via KO with a spinning elbow in the middle of the first round.\u00a0 Quintana took home the coveted Copa trophy.<\/p>\n

Cannetti<\/a><\/strong>, who is brother of veteran Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Guido “Ninja” Cannetti<\/strong>, had a 7-5 record before coming to Combate Americas, including four finishes, 3 of them by (T) KO. Since he came exclusively for Copa Combate, the Argentine fighter has just a 1-1 record inside “La Jaula”, and now seeks to clean up the only loss in the company with a win over Quintana.<\/p>\n

Quintana<\/strong><\/a> has the longest active winning-streak in Combate Am\u00e9ricas with 8 victories in a row. Within his eight victories, 2 of them have been submissions and another two by KO, for a 50% finishing rate.<\/p>\n

Quintana<\/a> <\/strong>will have to be careful against a fighter who has experience against him and believes he should have won his last fight. Cannetti<\/a> <\/strong>will have to adjust again his strategy and his abilities to no fall on the same errors that led him to defeat last time.<\/p>\n

Can Cannetti<\/a> <\/strong>erase the stain of defeat and achieve Combate Americas gold on the road? Or will Quintana<\/a> <\/strong>be the one to get into history as the best featherweight fighter of Combate Americas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
