COMBATE AMERICAS ANNOUNCES FOUR NEW BOUTS FOR FIRST CLOSED

SET EVENT IN MIAMI ON

AUGUST 28

NEW YORK – July 7, 2020 – Combate Americas today announced four new bouts, including a women’s 120-pound catchweight co-main event contest between former world championship challenger Desiree “Dirty Dez” Yanez (5-2) and unbeaten Criszaida Adames (2-0), for the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sports franchise’s first closed set studio live television event in Miami, Fla. on Friday, Aug. 28.

The event will air live on television in the U.S. in Spanish on Univision (12 a.m. ET/11 p.m. CT) and TUDN (12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT), in English on AXS TV (10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT) and in Mexico on Televisa Canal 5 (11 p.m. local time).

In the previously announced main event and inaugural Combate Americas world flyweight (125 pounds) championship bout, world-ranked star Juan “Leadfeather” Puerta (18-6) will take on three-time Combate Americas fight winner David “The Farmer of Destruction” Duran (8-6).

The 30-year-old Yanez of Waco, Texas was nearly crowned the first-ever Combate Americas female world champion in her last start on December 7, before finding herself on the losing end of a close, controversial split decision to undefeated phenom Melissa “Super Mely” Martinez.

Prior to the defeat, Yanez made a stunning Combate Americas promotional debut last June 21, stopping Paulina Vargas in the third round (1:54) by way of technical submission (ankle injury).  The victory gave Yanez her fourth straight win.

Fighting out of Philadelphia, Pa., the 27-year-old Adames, who was born in the Dominican Republic, will seek her third consecutive victory in La Jaula, the Combate Americas competition cage, following a second round (1:47) TKO (knee strike) of Marisol Ruelas on September 1, 2019, and a unanimous decision over Alma Cespedes on October 18, 2019.

Prior to making her professional debut, Adames was perfect as an amateur competitor, reeling off a 4-0 record.

In other action announced today for the August 28 card, unbeaten Elvin Espinoza (3-0) of Miami will square off with fellow unbeaten rising star Rudisel Mora (5-0-1) of Miami in a lightweight (155 pounds) contest.

In a welterweight (170 pounds) matchup between two undefeated upstarts, Eric Alequin (3-0) of West Palm Beach, Fla. will take on Jorge Masvidal teammate Charles Decca (2-0) of Miami.

Jomal Rodriguez (3-2) of Plant City, Fla. will meet Lamar Brown (2-1) of Miami in a 160-pound catchweight attraction.

The live broadcasts of Combate Americas closed set studio events, additional dates for which include Friday, Sept. 11 and Friday, Sept. 25, will feature on-camera interactions with a host of different celebrities to be announced soon.
