COMBATE GLOBAL today announced a complete, five-bout Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) card for Saturday, Aug. 26, streaming live on Paramount+ from Miami.

Saturday’s live Paramount+ stream of COMBATE GLOBAL will begin with a 30-minute pre-show, hosted by Jimmy Smith and Rodolfo Roman at 9:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. PT, and will continue with the first preliminary card bout at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.

In the featherweight (145 pounds) main event, Mexican star Jair “El Lupe” Pérez(8-3) will collide with Chilean standout, Mauricio Eguiluz (10-6-1).

The 25-year-old Pérez of Monterrey, N.L., Mexico is a former, two-time national wrestling champion looking for his second consecutive win as well as his sixth victory in his last seven appearances, following a third round (1:20) TKO (punches) conquest of Genier Penagos in COMBATE GLOBAL action on April 1.

Pérez, at 20 years of age, made his professional debut with COMBATE GLOBAL in May 2018, and has since reeled off a record of 6-2 under the promotional banner.

Eguiluz, 30, hails from Santiago, Chile, and is seeking his third consecutive victory in what will already be his fourth fight of 2023.

Three years ago, Eguiluz, who holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, relocated from his native country to Tijuana, B.C., Mexico in order to pursue training with established fighters in the professional circuit.

In a featured women’s atomweight (105 pounds) matchup, Nadine Abbott (1-1) will square off with Mariah Castro (1-1).

Nadine Abbott is a 22-year-old native of Dublin, Ireland and a former International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) amateur world champion, looking for her second straight win as a professional.

On April 8, Abbott notched her first professional victory, submitting Mexico’s Jharely Reyes with an armbar in the first round (2:28) of their fight.

Like Abbott, the 28-year-old Castro of Kearny, N.J. will seek her second professional victory, after defeating Lupe Mateo via unanimous decision in a COMBATE GLOBAL matchup between two professional debut competitors on August 26, 2022.

Castro’s professional debut came after she posted a strong amateur record of 6-2.

Castro holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is a member of Carnicella MMA, which also serves as a home to fellow COMBATE GLOBAL fighter, Natalie Schlesinger.

The COMBATE GLOBAL fight card’s second featured main card contest will pit Martin Justiz (3-1) against Isaac “El Muelas” Ruelas (5-4) at featherweight.

The 24-year-old Justiz is a native of Santiago de Cuba, Cuba and a Miami resident, who produced a potential “Fight of the Year” performance in his last COMBATE GLOBAL effort on March 11, when he went toe-to-toe with Miguel Lugo, scoring an incredible TKO (punches) on Lugo with just one second remaining (4:59) in the fight’s third and final round.

Fighting out of Tijuana, B.C., Mexico, the 31-year-old Ruelas is a reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) national Muay Thai champion who will seek his second straight win following a unanimous decision over David Zelner in COMBATE GLOBAL on April 1.

In preliminary bout action, Samuel “The Alley Cat” Alvarez (7-5) of Manteca, Calif. will take on Richie Palomino (6-4) of Santa Ana, Calif.

Ovidio Bojorquez (4-2) of Hermosillo, Son., Mexico will battle “Big” Al Gonzales (3-5) of Fresno, Calif. at welterweight (170 pounds).

Bellator takes us to Paris for the Championship Series on Friday 17th May and is guaranteed to showcase some of the promotions most elite talent in some explosive matchups. One of those matchups being a bantamweight showdown between Patchy Mix & Magomed Magomedov.

Magomedov, holds a record of 20 wins and 3 losses and will be looking to avenge his last loss to Mix back in December 2022. Magomedov has shown that he can stand with the best, this is clear not only with the calibre of his opponents but also his impressive fighting record. Magomedov started his pro career on a 13 fight win streak taking his first loss the UFC Russian superstar Peter Yan, taking him to a decision which is no easy feat in itself.

With Magomedov’s experience and record you would think he sounds almost impossible to beat, however his opponent Patchy Mix bares his own formidable record. Not only did he beat Magomedov in their last fight he did it with complete style and domination where he managed to beat the ground specialist at his own game.

Patchy Mix with a record of 19-1 is coming off a six fight winning streak beating fighters such as Albert Morales and Sergio Pettis. Out of Mix’s last 19 wins 13 of them have been by way of submission, proving that his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not to be overlooked or underestimated. Mix has never been KO’d or submitted in his 20 fight professional MMA career. This same fact is also true of his amateur career where he was undefeated with a record of 1.

If one thing is certain, this fight is guaranteed to be exciting and technical. Both fighters being ground specialists and wanting to prove who is the superior fighter, who has the best BJJ technique and who is more of an all rounded competitor.

With so many amazing fights going on within this card it would be a crime to miss out. Whether you’re a new fan who wants to see two top level guys fight it out or a fan of the technical artform that is BJJ/wrestling. This fight is set to be an all out war and has the potential to prove who is the better fighter or even the playing field for a trilogy fight. You won’t want to miss out!

SHOGUN RUA ENTERS THE UFC HALL OF FAME

Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua will be joining the pioneer wing of the UFC’s Hall of Fame at the next induction ceremony during International Fight Week next month. The announcement came during UFC 301 in Rio De Janeiro last weekend to the delight of the many Brazilian fans in attendance.  

Shogun’s mixed martial arts career spanned 21 years and 42 fights with the majority of his  success coming in Japan’s PRIDE promotion and then the UFC.  

The highlight of his time fighting in PRIDE came when he beat a selection of legendary  names such as Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Antonio ‘Minotouro’ Nogueira, Alistair Overeem and Ricardo Arona to win a grand prix tournament. 

He traded wins and losses throughout his UFC career after joining the promotion in 2007. He famously captured the UFC light heavyweight title by knocking out fellow Brazilian Lyoto Machida in the first round at UFC 113 back in 2010, before losing the belt in his first title defence against a young Jon Jones. 

One his most memorable fights inside the octagon, a five-round war with Dan Henderson at UFC 139 back in 2011, was inducted into the hall of fame in 2018. 

UFC president Dana White was full of praise for Shogun as he made the announcement, saying: 

“Shogun Rua is one of the greatest Brazilian athletes in combat sports history. Shogun had  an incredible run in PRIDE and UFC and he was fearless inside the octagon. His fights  against Mark Coleman, Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida and Dan Henderson represent some of the most memorable moments in UFC history and helped put Brazilian MMA on the map. It will be an honour to induct him into the UFC Hall Of Fame this summer during International  Fight Week”.
