The 5-foot-10, 26-year-old Gonzalez of Redondo Beach, קאַליף. will drop from lightweight (155 פונט) to featherweight for the first time since joining the ranks of Combate Americas, in an effort to qualify for the coveted, one-night tournament.

 

 

A relentless battler capable of finishing opponents in any range of combat, Gonzalez has earned six of his eight professional career wins by way of (ה)קאָ אָדער סאַבמישאַן, including his last fight in which he avenged a previous, unanimous decision defeat at the hands of Danny “The Realist” Ramirez by scoring a highlight reel, first-round (3:15) נאַקאַוט (פּאַנטשיז) on Ramirez at “Combate Estrellas” in Los Angeles on אַפּריל 13.

 

 

Quintana, a 6-foot, 27-year-old trailblazer who hails from Roswell, נ.מ., has been perfect to date in La Jaula, די קאָמבאַטע אמעריקע שטייַג, winning all four of his matchups under the promotional banner since he made his debut last year.

 

 

Among Quintana’s conquests in Combate Americas action is a June 30, 2017 unanimous decision win over last year’s “COPA COMBATE” tournament winner Levy Marroquin, in a bout that took place in the taxing, high altitude of Mexico City, מעקסיקא.

 

PABLO SABORI VS. ALEJANDRO FLORES

 

The 5-foot-8, 26-year-old Sabori of San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora is a feared, devastating finisher who boasts a 100 פּראָצענט ענדיקן קורס, with all 8 of his professional career wins to date having come by way of knockout or submission, 5 of them inside the first round of action.

 

 

In his last start on July 29, 2017 אין טידזשואַנאַ, באַדזשאַ קאַליפאָרניאַ, מעקסיקא, Sabori slugged his way to a third round (3:03) וואס (פּאַנטשיז) פון Andrew Lagdaan.

 

 

Flores is a 5-foot-10, 27-יאָר-אַלט, fast-rising star out of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon who will return to 145 pounds after a phenomenal run in the bantamweight (135 פונט) קלאַס.

 

 

Flores is riding a four-fight win streak after coasting to victory over Team Grasso standout Victor Madrigal in Combate Americas’ debut live event in Monterrey onאַפּריל 20. The win marked Flores’ second straight win in La Jaula, since defeating Walter Zamora by way of split decision on March 30, 2017.

 

 

An additional matchup for the live televised, main card portion of the Combate Americas world championship event will be announced soon, as will a complete, preliminary bout card.

“I’m not only here as a guest. I came here to become the most important fighter in my division,” said Rojo. “MMA has grown in Argentina, and it’s about time that we show that on this side of the continent. This fight will be a duel between the North against South.”

On the other side, פלאָווערס, who suffered his first career defeat at the hands of unbeaten Mark “The Bumblebee” Delarosa at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City, Mexico on יאַנואַר 19, now wants to return to the win column immediately.

“When you face a Mexican fighter, you have to be prepared for the most difficult fight of your life. I hope (Rojo) is aware of that, if he wants to be victorious” said Flores.
