COMBATE GLOBAL ANNOUNCES NEW WOMEN'S MAIN EVENT
- ALEJANDRA "AZUL" LARA VS. GISELA "LA EMPERATRIZ" LUNA -
ON SATURDAY, MAY 11, LIVE ON FUSE FROM MIAMI
LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK – April 24, 2024 – COMBATE GLOBAL today announced a new women's flyweight (125 pounds) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) main event matchup between former world championship challenger Alejandra "Azul" Lara (9-7) and nine-time kickboxing champion Gisela "La Emperatriz" Luna (5-1), live on Fuse at 9:30 p.m. ET from Miami on Saturday, May 11.
Fuse is the exclusive English-language home of COMBATE GLOBALMMA.
The new main event matchup comes after previously announced Lucero "La Loba" Acosta, who had been slated to face off with Lara, was forced to withdraw from the commitment this week due to a fractured meniscus sustained in training camp.
The 32-year-old Luna of Buenos Aires, Argentina will make her COMBATE GLOBAL promotional debut, bringing with her a stellar resume that includes nine regional kickboxing championships, including four South American titles and five Argentinian national titles, as well as an outstanding overall record of 36-3-1 in the sport of kickboxing.
In MMA competition to date, Luna has earned four of her five professional victories via (T)KO or submission.
At 29 years of age, Lara, who hails from Medellin, Colombia and fights out of San Diego, Calif., is looking to return to the win column since teaming up with 10th Planet San Diego Jiu Jitsu and Training Center several months ago. She has since been training with the likes of superstars Phil Davis and Cat Zingano.
Lara has faced off with a handful of world-class opponents, including Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, whom Lara challenged for the Bellator women's world flyweight title, and Muay Thai world champion Lena Ovchynnikova, whom Lara defeated by way of third round (4:03) submission (rear-naked choke) in 2018.
