Os ingressos para o “Combate Clássico” estão à venda online em Ticketon.com. Lutas adicionais serão anunciadas nos próximos dias.

O 5-foot-7, 31-year-old Vargas heads into “Combate 15” having won four of his last five starts, with all four victories coming by way of knockout or submission.

Ramirez, 28, has more than seven years’ experience in the U.S. Marine Corps, which “The Realist” was able to parlay into a successful cagefighing career. After shredding the amateur circuit, the 5-foot-9 Californian turned pro, compilando um impressionante 6-2 record with four knockouts.
