Combate Global Announces Five-Fight Card For This Friday, Live on Paramount+

NEW YORK – October 10, 2022 – Combate Global today announced its complete, five-bout Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) card, streaming live on Paramount+ from Miami, Fla. on Friday, Oct. 14.

Paramount+ coverage will begin with a Combate Global pre-show at 10:30 p.m. ET/9:30 p.m. CT, and will continue with the live fight action, beginning at 11:00 p.m. ET/10:00 p.m. CT.

In a 150-pound catchweight main event, undefeated phenom Moses Diaz (4-0) will face his toughest challenge to date in battle-tested veteran and submission expert, Juan “El Profe” Porto (11-3).

The 28-year-old Diaz of Phoenix, Ariz. will return to action for the first time since setting a new record for the fastest finish in Combate Global history by scoring an incredible, six-second knockout on Costa Rica’s Carlos Cordoba Fonseca with a right hand to the chin that immediately crumbled Cordoba Fonseca.

To date, not one of his opponents in either the professional ranks or during his four-fight amateur career has been able to take the hard-punching Diaz the distance of a fight.

A veteran of more than three times as many fights as Diaz, the 37-year-old Porto, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, is fighting out of Miami’s MMA Masters gym, and originally hails from Uruguay where he has won three different, regional MMA championships.

On May 15, Porto competed for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, submitting Nicolás Gómez Gomez with a rear-naked choke in the second round (3:15) of their matchup that took place in Brazil.

In a featured welterweight (170 pounds) contest, Daniel Sanchez (3-2) of Mexico City, Mexico will battle Gerardo Bazaldua (2-2) of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico.

In a featured women’s atomweight (105 pounds) matchup, Katie “Maquina Asesina” Perez (3-3) of Cullowhee, N.C. will make her third appearance of the year in La Jaula, the Combate Global competition cage, and square off with Kayla “K-Rock” Hracho (3-4) of West Palm Beach, Fla.

The preliminary bout card will host a welterweight scrap between Gabriel Morales (4-3) of Deerfield Beach, Fla. and Scottie Stockman (4-2) of Ashland, Ore.

The event will begin with a flyweight (125 pounds) tilt between Javier “El Pantera” Valdebenito (2-1) of Santiago, Chile and Henry Beltran (0-0) of El Centro, Calif.
