Man, this is quite amazing
all women's fight card

20
00:01:00.026 --> 00:01:01.728
and we've had plenty
of them, Campbell.

00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:02.662
We love our women.

22
00:01:02.662 --> 00:01:04.097
They always bring it.

23
00:01:04.097 --> 00:01:05.965
- Yeah, you know
it's always exciting,

24
00:01:05.965 --> 00:01:09.536
and they always fight like
this is gonna be the fight

25
00:01:09.536 --> 00:01:11.938
that will make their career.

26
00:01:11.938 --> 00:01:14.441
- And Alex of course this
is most exciting for you.

27
00:01:14.441 --> 00:01:17.377
It shows the tenacity and gut
and heart that women have.

28
00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:19.913
- We have the star on
the rise Regina Tarin,

29
00:01:19.913 --> 00:01:21.681
who had an early start in MMA.

30
00:01:21.681 --> 00:01:24.417
She is the potential to
be a generational star.

31
00:01:24.417 --> 00:01:25.685
- Absolutely.

32
00:01:25.685 --> 00:01:27.687
So let's get ready to
meet our first women

33
00:01:27.687 --> 00:01:31.124
to enter La Jaula

34
00:01:31.124 --> 00:01:33.059

The head to head,
Fernanda Marrufo,

36
00:01:34.694 --> 00:01:36.129
who returns to La Jaula

37
00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:38.164
coming in in search
for her first victory

38
00:01:38.164 --> 00:01:39.699
here in Combate Global

39
00:01:39.699 --> 00:01:42.368
taking on the 19-year-old
prospect, Regina Tarin

00:01:43.536 --> 00:01:46.139

only 19 years old,

41
00:01:46.139 --> 00:01:48.575

65
00:03:29.142 --> 00:03:32.779

00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:40.219
Her official weight.

68
00:03:46.259 --> 00:03:49.862
She enters La Jaula undefeated
as a pro with two victories.

69
00:03:51.564 --> 00:03:55.501
Mexico City, Mexico,
Regina Kill Bill Tarin.

70
00:04:03.309 --> 00:04:05.812
Referee Christopher Mignocchi.

71
00:04:10.216 --> 00:04:15.154
- (Christopher speaks
in foreign language)

72
00:04:21.127 --> 00:04:23.296
- [Rodolfo] Fernanda
Marrufo in red

73
00:04:23.296 --> 00:04:25.765
and Regina Tarin in black.

74
00:04:25.765 --> 00:04:29.135
19-year-old prospect making
her debut inside La Jaula.

75
00:04:29.135 --> 00:04:32.138
This all women's fight
card gets underway.

76
00:04:32.138 --> 00:04:34.507
Excited stuff here to see what
this youngling is all about.

77
00:04:34.507 --> 00:04:38.611
But one thing that took me
right in front the spot Alex is

78
00:04:38.611 --> 00:04:39.779
the adrenaline rush.

79
00:04:39.779 --> 00:04:41.814
Maybe a lot of
butterflies for Regina.

80
00:04:41.814 --> 00:04:44.017
- [Alex] I have
goosebumps right now.

81
00:04:44.017 --> 00:04:47.053
Does she know how to
work it in the call outs?

82
00:04:47.053 --> 00:04:49.689
I mean she is a
19-year-old sensation

83
00:04:49.689 --> 00:04:52.025
who's dedicated her craft

84
00:04:52.025 --> 00:04:54.427
since she was nine years
old to martial arts.

85
00:04:54.427 --> 00:04:57.297
So she has all of
the experience.

86
00:04:57.297 --> 00:04:59.499
But now can she handle
the bright lights?

87
00:04:59.499 --> 00:05:00.767
- [Rodolfo] Absolutely.

88
00:05:00.767 --> 00:05:02.969
And Campbell, we've seen
many superstars here

89
00:05:02.969 --> 00:05:04.537
that have just made their way

90
00:05:04.537 --> 00:05:07.040
starting in 1918
in Combate Global.

91
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.743
And I gotta tell
you, our matchmakers,
they got a good eye.

92
00:05:10.743 --> 00:05:12.979
- [Campbell] You know I was
talking with Vitor Belfour

93
00:05:12.979 --> 00:05:14.247
a little earlier today

94
00:05:14.247 --> 00:05:17.283
and I actually saw him
in action when he was 18

95
00:05:17.283 --> 00:05:19.352
at the UFC way back when.

96
00:05:19.352 --> 00:05:20.887
Some people just
have that talent

97
00:05:20.887 --> 00:05:23.656
that comes out very, very
early in their career.

98
00:05:23.656 --> 00:05:25.992
Can they maximize it?

99
00:05:25.992 --> 00:05:28.528
Can they grow as athletes?

100
00:05:28.528 --> 00:05:29.896
They might have a killer spirit.

101
00:05:29.896 --> 00:05:31.464
I love her nickname Kill Bill.

102
00:05:31.464 --> 00:05:32.298
Who's Bill?

103
00:05:32.298 --> 00:05:33.266
What did Bill do to her?

104
00:05:33.266 --> 00:05:35.234
She's apparently kinda angry.

105
00:05:36.569 --> 00:05:37.804
- [Rodolfo] And all those
folks joining us in feeds,

106
00:05:37.804 --> 00:05:39.706
we welcome you once again.

107
00:05:39.706 --> 00:05:41.174
We love being out here

108
00:05:41.174 --> 00:05:43.343
and enjoying the
fight inside La Jaula

109
00:05:43.343 --> 00:05:45.211
in all women's fight card.

110
00:05:45.211 --> 00:05:47.613
Believe it's our
third, fourth already.

111
00:05:47.613 --> 00:05:49.816
And that's something Campbell
that in Combate Global

112
00:05:49.816 --> 00:05:52.752
we know that our
fans, our fight fans

113
00:05:52.752 --> 00:05:55.121
and your general
fans love our women

114
00:05:55.121 --> 00:05:56.589
because they bring
it all the time.

115
00:05:56.589 --> 00:06:01.094
They're competitive,
young, veteran, they bring

116
00:06:01.094 --> 00:06:02.228
that hard in card.
- Of the ladies.

117
00:06:02.228 --> 00:06:03.763
- [Rodolfo] Absolutely.

118
00:06:03.763 --> 00:06:05.431
Great speeding stuff
there from Regina

119
00:06:05.431 --> 00:06:06.699
being created right
from the start.

120
00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:08.067
The butterflies are out the door

121
00:06:08.067 --> 00:06:09.936
'cause she's
bringing everything.

122
00:06:09.936 --> 00:06:11.137
- [Campbell] I think
the fans like this

123
00:06:11.137 --> 00:06:13.506
because it's still
somewhat unusual.

124
00:06:13.506 --> 00:06:16.642
It's still somewhat new
to see women doing this.

125
00:06:16.642 --> 00:06:18.511
Caitlyn Clark making
a lot of noise

126
00:06:18.511 --> 00:06:20.413
over on the basketball court.

127
00:06:20.413 --> 00:06:23.049
We've had women in
MMA for a while,

128
00:06:23.049 --> 00:06:27.320
and still people are
surprised when they see it.

129
00:06:27.320 --> 00:06:30.056
We're not used to seeing women
punch each other in the face.

130
00:06:30.056 --> 00:06:32.291
And I find it
quite entertaining.

131
00:06:32.291 --> 00:06:33.826
- [Rodolfo] But
fight fans, Campbell,

132
00:06:33.826 --> 00:06:35.895
there's no doubt that
they love, they respect.

133
00:06:35.895 --> 00:06:37.296
And it goes back to that time

134
00:06:37.296 --> 00:06:41.934
when that previous organization
you owned at one point

135
00:06:41.934 --> 00:06:44.337
they denied women's MMA,

136
00:06:44.337 --> 00:06:45.671
and they brought it in

137
00:06:45.671 --> 00:06:47.173
and they saw how much
of a use success it was.

138
00:06:47.173 --> 00:06:50.376
But Combate Global, it's
been a success from day one.

139
00:06:51.544 --> 00:06:53.179
- Yeah, I like to think so.

140
00:06:53.179 --> 00:06:54.413
You're talking about the UFC

141
00:06:54.413 --> 00:06:55.748
and you're talking
about Dina White

142
00:06:55.748 --> 00:06:57.450
famously seeing you
wouldn't have women.

143
00:06:57.450 --> 00:06:59.285
Listen, this is a
star driven sport.

144
00:06:59.285 --> 00:07:01.220
Rhonda Rousey is a huge star.

145
00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:02.822
She would change anyone's mind.

146
00:07:04.257 --> 00:07:05.057
- And Alex.
- Now we're seeing

147
00:07:05.057 --> 00:07:06.292
some clinch work,

148
00:07:06.292 --> 00:07:08.961
a great body lock
takedown from Regina

149
00:07:08.961 --> 00:07:11.330
who has a nice
wrestling background,

150
00:07:11.330 --> 00:07:14.534
but it's actually her striking
that she's more known for.

151
00:07:14.534 --> 00:07:18.137
She became a golden
gloves champion

152
00:07:18.137 --> 00:07:19.972
in September of 2022.

153
00:07:19.972 --> 00:07:21.174
And she's also been working

154
00:07:21.174 --> 00:07:23.309
that jiu jitsu earned
her purple belt

155
00:07:23.309 --> 00:07:26.412
over there at Bone Breakers
in the city of Mexico.

156
00:07:26.412 --> 00:07:27.847
So great head positioning,

157
00:07:27.847 --> 00:07:30.016
basically when you
pin your opponent

158
00:07:30.016 --> 00:07:32.018
against a cage using your head

159
00:07:32.018 --> 00:07:33.252
and great pressure

160
00:07:33.252 --> 00:07:34.654
from the 19 year olds.
- Talk about

161
00:07:34.654 --> 00:07:36.489
the hooks too, Alex.

162
00:07:36.489 --> 00:07:37.924
- [Alex] Yeah, the
hooks that we're seeing.

163
00:07:37.924 --> 00:07:41.894
She's looking to get an
underhook on Fernanda Marrufo,

164
00:07:41.894 --> 00:07:44.497
but she might let loose of that

165
00:07:44.497 --> 00:07:45.865
just so she can
get her posture up

166
00:07:45.865 --> 00:07:48.134
and get some ground
and pounding.

167
00:07:48.134 --> 00:07:50.536
And I think everyone knows what
ground and pound is, right?

168
00:07:50.536 --> 00:07:53.573
- [Campbell] I'm sure,
Rodolfo self-explanatory.

169
00:07:53.573 --> 00:07:54.841
- [Rodolfo] I'm
sure we do out here.

170
00:07:54.841 --> 00:07:56.576
And Regina Tarin going
to the back there

171
00:07:56.576 --> 00:07:59.345
trying to perhaps take it
down to the floor perhaps.

172
00:07:59.345 --> 00:08:00.379
- [Alex] Great work.

173
00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:02.048
Now working to get her hooks in.

174
00:08:02.048 --> 00:08:03.416
Those long legs.

175
00:08:03.416 --> 00:08:04.417
The legs that she was

176
00:08:04.417 --> 00:08:05.251
once bullied for
- Here go

177
00:08:05.251 --> 00:08:06.819
as a child for being.

178
00:08:06.819 --> 00:08:08.254
- [Rodolfo] We get that rear
naked choke perhaps already.

179
00:08:08.254 --> 00:08:09.989
It's very early on.

180
00:08:09.989 --> 00:08:11.390
- [Alex] Under the chin.

181
00:08:11.390 --> 00:08:12.492
- And see me have it guys,
- She's locking it in.

182
00:08:12.492 --> 00:08:14.694
this may be in deep,

183
00:08:14.694 --> 00:08:17.063
it could be a victory for
this 19-year-old girl.

184
00:08:17.063 --> 00:08:18.097
- She's tapping.
- Killer Bill.

185
00:08:18.097 --> 00:08:19.298
- That's it, alright.

186
00:08:19.298 --> 00:08:20.967
Nicely done.
- Could before the kill.

187
00:08:20.967 --> 00:08:22.268
- [Campbell] Nicely done.

188
00:08:22.268 --> 00:08:23.502
- [Rodolfo] Incredible.

189
00:08:23.502 --> 00:08:26.472
19 years old.
- Oh, look at the bow.

190
00:08:26.472 --> 00:08:27.974
All right this one's a show off.

191
00:08:27.974 --> 00:08:29.742
- That's this level.
- First round finish.

192
00:08:29.742 --> 00:08:32.545
- Wow.
- Flooded up Fernando Marrufo.

193
00:08:32.545 --> 00:08:34.480
She got her nickname Kill Bill

194
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.582
because her coach said
she's a little girl

195
00:08:36.582 --> 00:08:37.950
that likes to kill people,

196
00:08:37.950 --> 00:08:39.218
and that's exactly

197
00:08:39.218 --> 00:08:40.486
what she get to know.
- All right, all right,

198
00:08:40.486 --> 00:08:41.287
all right listen, you
guys cover for me.

199
00:08:41.287 --> 00:08:42.054
I gotta go in there.

200
00:08:42.054 --> 00:08:43.089
I love this girl.

201
00:08:43.089 --> 00:08:44.657
I gotta.
- As we know,

202
00:08:44.657 --> 00:08:47.894
if Campbell el Jefe has
to get off his chair

203
00:08:47.894 --> 00:08:49.428
and go inside La Jaula

204
00:08:49.428 --> 00:08:54.467
is 'cause he is impressed,
beautifully executed.

205
00:08:55.134 --> 00:08:56.969
Wendling, take it away.

206
00:08:56.969 --> 00:08:58.738
- [Alex] Wow, she
got under the chin

207
00:08:58.738 --> 00:09:01.574
and she was so immediate
to jump to the back

208
00:09:01.574 --> 00:09:03.175
of Fernando Marrufo.

209
00:09:03.175 --> 00:09:05.544
Her first pro fight
as a professional

210
00:09:05.544 --> 00:09:07.613
was also finished
by rear naked choke.

211
00:09:07.613 --> 00:09:09.582
So she is very used
to that position

212
00:09:09.582 --> 00:09:12.518
and once she was on the back,
she knew she had it locked.

213
00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:15.288
- [Rodolfo] And usually
when you're stuck

214
00:09:15.288 --> 00:09:17.456
in that position, Alex,
unless you're able to,

215
00:09:17.456 --> 00:09:18.891
and it's so early on,

216
00:09:18.891 --> 00:09:21.294
there's no sweat in there
to sneak in your hand.

217
00:09:21.294 --> 00:09:23.129
It was no way out for Marrufo.

218
00:09:23.129 --> 00:09:25.364
Another defeat inside La Jaula.

219
00:09:25.364 --> 00:09:26.899
Hopefully she'll
return back again

220
00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:28.334
and get that victory one day.

221
00:09:28.334 --> 00:09:31.938
We'll be back with more
action inside La Jaula

222
00:09:31.938 --> 00:09:34.974
and all women's fight
card, Combate Global.

223
00:09:34.974 --> 00:09:36.175
We'll be back with more.

224
00:09:36.175 --> 00:09:38.377
And the final result.

225
00:09:38.377 --> 00:09:40.980
(upbeat music)

226
00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:53.259
- Incredible victory
for the (indistinct).

227
00:09:54.093 --> 00:09:56.796
Result, Beatriz let us know.

228
00:09:56.796 --> 00:09:59.231
(audience cheers and applauds)

229
00:09:59.231 --> 00:10:03.903
- (Beatriz speaks
in foreign language)

230
00:10:05.071 --> 00:10:08.741
The official time three
minutes and 14 seconds

231
00:10:08.741 --> 00:10:10.910
of round number one

232
00:10:10.910 --> 00:10:14.547
and the winner by
way of submission

233
00:10:19.485 --> 00:10:23.522
Regina Tarin.

234
00:10:23.522 --> 00:10:26.158
(audience cheers and applauds)
(upbeat music)

235
00:10:26.158 --> 00:10:29.795
- [Rodolfo] This young lady
has a very promising future,

236
00:10:29.795 --> 00:10:31.597
just 19 years old.

237
00:10:32.765 --> 00:10:34.533
Rear naked choke
in the first round.

238
00:10:34.533 --> 00:10:38.838
Very quickly achieved,
joined there by her brother

239
00:10:38.838 --> 00:10:41.340
and of course el Jefe
Campbell McLaren,

240
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:43.142
how exciting it must
be for this young lady.

241
00:10:43.142 --> 00:10:45.044
She brought the
gold from the IMMAF

242
00:10:45.044 --> 00:10:46.479
from Abu Dhabi to Mexico.

243
00:10:46.479 --> 00:10:49.015
But now she brings a
victory from Combate Global.

244
00:10:49.015 --> 00:10:52.451
- [Alex] Yes, and a
wonderful body lock takedown

245
00:10:52.451 --> 00:10:55.688
really negates any
threat that Fernanda had.

246
00:10:55.688 --> 00:10:57.523
And you gotta think
that that's exactly

247
00:10:57.523 --> 00:10:59.125
how she wanted this fight to go.

248
00:10:59.125 --> 00:11:01.394
Getting a finish
in the first round.

249
00:11:01.394 --> 00:11:03.396
I mean, Maritza Sanchez
could be watching this fight

250
00:11:03.396 --> 00:11:05.598
and said, "Hey, I
fought Fernanda Marrufo

251
00:11:05.598 --> 00:11:07.500
and it took me to
the second round.

252
00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:10.836
So this could be a potential
matchup in the making."

253
00:11:10.836 --> 00:11:14.206
And Kill Bill very,
very confident.

254
00:11:14.206 --> 00:11:15.207
Look at that.

255
00:11:15.207 --> 00:11:16.075
Look at the look on her face.

256
00:11:16.075 --> 00:11:17.276
"Yeah, I just did that.

257
00:11:17.276 --> 00:11:19.211
I got a first round finish.

258
00:11:19.211 --> 00:11:20.046
How about that?"

259
00:11:20.046 --> 00:11:21.914
And bow to top it off.

260
00:11:21.914 --> 00:11:23.449
- [Rodolfo] Throw the
roses while you're at it.

261
00:11:23.449 --> 00:11:26.285
She definitely deserves the
flowers for that victory.

262
00:11:26.285 --> 00:11:28.888
Incredible stuff
for this young lady.

263
00:11:28.888 --> 00:11:29.722
19-year-old.

264
00:11:29.722 --> 00:11:31.323
Coming up next.

265
00:11:31.323 --> 00:11:32.591
Oh, not later.

266
00:11:32.591 --> 00:11:33.893
Coming up later.

267
00:11:33.893 --> 00:11:35.161
Sorry, we're trying
to spoil it for you,

268
00:11:35.161 --> 00:11:36.896
but hey listen, we got
great fight cards here.

269
00:11:36.896 --> 00:11:39.198
Ana Palacios, looking
forward to get back

270
00:11:39.198 --> 00:11:43.369
in the win column and the
undefeated Melissa Gomez

271
00:11:43.369 --> 00:11:47.807
from Chiche Chile looking
to keep undefeated,

272
00:11:47.807 --> 00:11:52.044
but she has a strong opponent
against Ana Palacios.

273
00:11:52.044 --> 00:11:53.279
And there we go,
we're ready to go.

274
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.817
Samantha Jean-Francois
from France,

275
00:11:57.817 --> 00:12:01.287
close to 20 fights
taking on Melissa Amaya.

276
00:12:01.287 --> 00:12:02.655
Let's meet them.

277
00:12:07.660 --> 00:12:12.465
- (Melissa speaking
in foreign language)

278
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.449
(dramatic music)

279
00:13:12.158 --> 00:13:15.094
- [Beatriz] La
Jaula Melissa Amaya.

280
00:13:16.495 --> 00:13:21.200
(audience applauds and cheers)
(upbeat Music)

281
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.536
- [Rodolfo] Melissa
Amaya walking once again

282
00:13:23.536 --> 00:13:25.371
for the seventh
time to La Jaula.

283
00:13:26.438 --> 00:13:28.607
- Look at this
confidence, Rodolfo,

284
00:13:28.607 --> 00:13:30.075
look at the swagger.
- Beyond.

285
00:13:30.075 --> 00:13:31.410
Look how she walks in.

286
00:13:31.410 --> 00:13:32.978
Look at this.

287
00:13:32.978 --> 00:13:35.080
- [Rodolfo] Beyond confidence
Campbell and a lot of guts.

288
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.649
She fought with a broken hand

289
00:13:36.649 --> 00:13:38.284
and finished off
the three rounds

290
00:13:38.284 --> 00:13:40.286
and ended up getting
that victory.

291
00:13:40.286 --> 00:13:43.322
Alex Wendling, but she meets
a tough opponent tonight.

292
00:13:43.322 --> 00:13:47.159
Does she have what she needs
to defeat the French woman?

293
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:49.395
- [Alex] I think she has all
the tools in the toolbox.

294
00:13:49.395 --> 00:13:51.964
And just to piggyback off
what President Campbell said

295
00:13:51.964 --> 00:13:53.432
about her having fun in there.

296
00:13:53.432 --> 00:13:55.768
She told me that
before this fight week,

297
00:13:55.768 --> 00:13:57.636
her fun weeks
weren't fun for her.

298
00:13:57.636 --> 00:13:59.805
She was a little bit
mentally struggling,

299
00:13:59.805 --> 00:14:01.440
but now she's working
with mindset Mike

300
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.877
over there in San Diego and
really wanted to make the focus

301
00:14:04.877 --> 00:14:06.312
of this fight we
need to have fun.

302
00:14:06.312 --> 00:14:07.846
And so we get a smile outta her

303
00:14:07.846 --> 00:14:11.483
before she heads inside La Jaula
ready to display her skills

304
00:14:11.483 --> 00:14:13.252
and the muscles that we see.

305
00:14:13.252 --> 00:14:14.653
This is the most

306
00:14:14.653 --> 00:14:15.888
- I was about to say that
- We've ever seen her.

307
00:14:15.888 --> 00:14:17.022
- How you took the
words out my mouth.

308
00:14:17.022 --> 00:14:19.124
She definitely look
physically fit.

309
00:14:19.124 --> 00:14:20.759
A lot of good here
for this fight.

310
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.964
Bringing all the tools
to defeat a potential,

311
00:14:24.964 --> 00:14:26.599
a very experienced fighter

312
00:14:26.599 --> 00:14:29.368
as we get to meet
Samantha Jean-Francois.

313
00:14:29.368 --> 00:14:33.606
♪ We are already won the race 

314
00:14:33.606 --> 00:14:38.377
- (Samantha speaks
in foreign language)

315
00:15:37.236 --> 00:15:40.839
- [Beatriz] Opponente
Samantha Jean-Francois.

317
00:15:51.216 --> 00:15:53.552
- [Rodolfo] Jean-Francois
making her way to La Jaula

318
00:15:53.552 --> 00:15:54.853
for the first time.

319
00:15:54.853 --> 00:15:58.324
This is a woman who
has taken on savages

320
00:15:58.324 --> 00:16:02.928
like Weili Zhang,
Rena Kubota from Japan

321
00:16:02.928 --> 00:16:04.530
and several other women.

322
00:16:04.530 --> 00:16:07.933
Alex, a woman who's
competed close to 20 times

323
00:16:07.933 --> 00:16:09.001
as a professional.

324
00:16:09.001 --> 00:16:09.935
- [Campbell] Rena
is a killer too.

325
00:16:09.935 --> 00:16:11.770
She's faced some...

326
00:16:11.770 --> 00:16:13.205
I love Melissa so much.

327
00:16:13.205 --> 00:16:14.606
This is a tough fight.

328
00:16:14.606 --> 00:16:17.376
Samantha's coming
in from France.

329
00:16:17.376 --> 00:16:19.044
She's a champion of Hexagon

330
00:16:19.044 --> 00:16:22.247
and our good friends in
France, Lauren Jerome Peru.

331
00:16:22.247 --> 00:16:24.383
And we're delighted
to have her here.

332
00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:26.652
I'm not sure I'm rooting for her

333
00:16:26.652 --> 00:16:28.220
just 'cause I'm
such a Melissa fan.

334
00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:30.289
But I think this is gonna
be a very tough fight

335
00:16:30.289 --> 00:16:31.190
for both these women.

336
00:16:31.190 --> 00:16:33.525
They're both very accomplished.

337
00:16:33.525 --> 00:16:36.161
- [Rodolfo] Absolutely, it's
gonna be a tough competition

338
00:16:36.161 --> 00:16:40.232
for Melissa Amaya as we get
ready to meet these women

339
00:16:40.232 --> 00:16:42.368
on the start head to head here,

340
00:16:42.368 --> 00:16:44.136
what they bring to the table.

341
00:16:45.571 --> 00:16:48.607
France versus the United States.

342
00:16:48.607 --> 00:16:52.511
Melissa Amaya,
Samantha Jean-Francois.

343
00:16:52.511 --> 00:16:54.046

(audience applauds and cheers)
(upbeat music)

348
00:17:09.361 --> 00:17:12.030
And our main event
is just seconds away

Referee Marcos
Perez, the Panama.

388
00:19:37.075 --> 00:19:38.877
(dramatic music)

389
00:19:38.877 --> 00:19:40.445
- Now come all.

390
00:19:40.445 --> 00:19:43.182
Right, you already
know the rules.

391
00:19:43.182 --> 00:19:46.118
I want a clean fight, obey
my command at all time.

392
00:19:46.118 --> 00:19:48.320
(Marcos speaks in
foreign language)

393
00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:49.321
Okay, you want to glove?

394
00:19:49.321 --> 00:19:50.722
Okay, go to your
corner to, okay.

395
00:19:54.726 --> 00:19:56.728
- [Rodolfo] The French
woman Samantha Jean-Francois

396
00:19:56.728 --> 00:19:59.231
taking on Melissa Amaya
of the United States

397
00:19:59.231 --> 00:20:02.568
making her return
after that hand injury.

398
00:20:02.568 --> 00:20:04.202
She is competing once again

399
00:20:04.202 --> 00:20:06.104
for the seventh time
inside La Jaula.

400
00:20:06.104 --> 00:20:09.541
Can she keep that
or will it be ruined

401
00:20:09.541 --> 00:20:13.011
by the experienced Spicy
Samantha Jean-Francois?

402
00:20:13.011 --> 00:20:14.546
- [Campbell] Well, look,
you know what I see here?

403
00:20:14.546 --> 00:20:17.549
I see Melissa who's done in
her whole career with Combate.

404
00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:19.384
She's a great fighter six and 0.

405
00:20:19.384 --> 00:20:21.787
Samantha has fought
all over the world,

406
00:20:21.787 --> 00:20:23.789
all different
types of opponents.

407
00:20:23.789 --> 00:20:25.991
To me this is an
interesting matchup.

408
00:20:25.991 --> 00:20:28.894
Can the referee move
his butt outta my shot?

409
00:20:29.795 --> 00:20:31.663
I wanna see how Samantha,

410
00:20:31.663 --> 00:20:32.931
who's been around the world

411
00:20:32.931 --> 00:20:36.234
compares to a homegrown
Combate fighter.

412
00:20:36.234 --> 00:20:37.869
- [Rodolfo] Now this is
a dangerous position,

413
00:20:37.869 --> 00:20:40.038
Alex, for Melissa.

414
00:20:40.038 --> 00:20:42.641
Samantha picking up
close to seven victories

415
00:20:42.641 --> 00:20:45.344
by way of RNC rear naked choke.

416
00:20:45.344 --> 00:20:48.080
She is a submission expert.

417
00:20:48.080 --> 00:20:49.481
- [Alex] Yes, but Melissa Amaya

418
00:20:49.481 --> 00:20:51.049
was the one who went
for that take down

419
00:20:51.049 --> 00:20:54.319
'cause she's very confident
in her ground game as well.

420
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.688
But we'll see if she's gonna
look to break out of the guard

421
00:20:56.688 --> 00:21:00.092
or if she wants to move
into some more ground

422
00:21:00.092 --> 00:21:01.827
and pound territory here.

423
00:21:01.827 --> 00:21:03.428
But again, they're getting
to feel each other out.

424
00:21:03.428 --> 00:21:04.997
Feel that each other's strength.

425
00:21:04.997 --> 00:21:07.266
So this is a really telling
part for both of these fighters.

426
00:21:07.266 --> 00:21:08.233
- [Rodolfo] And it
was a good tactic

427
00:21:08.233 --> 00:21:09.568
for Melissa to take her down

428
00:21:09.568 --> 00:21:12.004
because Samantha is
that pressured fighter.

429
00:21:12.004 --> 00:21:13.038
She likes to pressure you.

430
00:21:13.038 --> 00:21:14.640
So her take her down,

431
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.810
she could go and make
her work on the ground.

432
00:21:18.810 --> 00:21:20.512
- [Campbell] And you
see Rick little right

433
00:21:20.512 --> 00:21:23.048
behind Melissa giving
her instruction.

434
00:21:23.048 --> 00:21:25.217
Rick, a very
accomplished trainer.

435
00:21:26.752 --> 00:21:29.354
- [Rodolfo] Had that fore arm
there right on the throat.

436
00:21:29.354 --> 00:21:30.989
And that could be
very obnoxious.

437
00:21:30.989 --> 00:21:32.524
If this would've been
a gee tournament,

438
00:21:32.524 --> 00:21:33.892
maybe she would've
had something there.

439
00:21:33.892 --> 00:21:36.395
But this is MMA.

440
00:21:36.395 --> 00:21:38.630
And you mentioned about
Rick little Campbell,

441
00:21:38.630 --> 00:21:41.166
she mentioned during
the interviews this week

442
00:21:41.166 --> 00:21:44.102
how she called up Rick
right after the first round

443
00:21:44.102 --> 00:21:46.038
and told her, "Listen,
we gotta do something.

444
00:21:46.038 --> 00:21:47.806
I broke my hand but I
gotta keep fighting."

445
00:21:47.806 --> 00:21:49.508
And she did and she won.

446
00:21:49.508 --> 00:21:51.677
- [Campbell] Hey Rick, you
know Juliana Pena hates you.

447
00:21:51.677 --> 00:21:53.712
(Rodolfo laughs)

448
00:21:53.712 --> 00:21:55.113
Just wanna put that out there.

449
00:21:55.113 --> 00:21:56.915
- [Alex] But Juliana
Pena is actually

450
00:21:56.915 --> 00:21:59.317
the fighter inspiration
of Melissa Amaya.

451
00:21:59.317 --> 00:22:00.452
- [Campbell] Absolutely.

452
00:22:00.452 --> 00:22:01.687
- She looks to.
- There's some drama,

453
00:22:01.687 --> 00:22:03.188
there's a backstory there.

454
00:22:03.188 --> 00:22:04.756
- [Alex] Oh yes.

455
00:22:04.756 --> 00:22:06.158
- [Rodolfo] Different topic
for a different day Campbell?

456
00:22:06.158 --> 00:22:07.092
- [Campbell] I don't
know may come out.

457
00:22:07.092 --> 00:22:08.527
Depends how this fight goes.

458
00:22:09.995 --> 00:22:11.830
- [Alex] And now we're
seeing how Melissa Amaya

459
00:22:11.830 --> 00:22:16.368
is looking to utilize that grip
under the head of Francois.

460
00:22:17.402 --> 00:22:20.238
So she is really
kind of just negated

461
00:22:20.238 --> 00:22:21.940
in this position a
little bit, especially

462
00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:22.874
up against the-
- Negated.

463
00:22:22.874 --> 00:22:24.776
She's crunched and negated.

464
00:22:26.011 --> 00:22:27.546
- [Alex] Yeah, but the
offense is definitely

465
00:22:27.546 --> 00:22:29.748
a little bit put
on a stand stone.

466
00:22:29.748 --> 00:22:30.682
- [Campbell] Yeah.

467
00:22:31.950 --> 00:22:33.985
- [Rodolfo] And both
women do have that cardio.

468
00:22:33.985 --> 00:22:35.420
They could go the distance.

469
00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:38.924
Amaya's both victories,
three wins by stoppage,

470
00:22:38.924 --> 00:22:41.326
two by subs, one by knockout.

471
00:22:42.527 --> 00:22:43.595
- [Campbell] You know
this is a bizarre sport.

472
00:22:43.595 --> 00:22:44.796
If you're new to the sport

473
00:22:44.796 --> 00:22:46.064
and you're looking
at this position,

474
00:22:46.064 --> 00:22:47.966
you're trying to figure
out what's going on.

475
00:22:47.966 --> 00:22:51.036
Yeah, this is a weird
position right here

476
00:22:51.036 --> 00:22:54.973
'cause you've got Samantha
jacked up against the fence,

477
00:22:54.973 --> 00:22:56.141
she's on her back.

478
00:22:56.141 --> 00:22:58.877
You see the legs
wrapped around Melissa

479
00:22:58.877 --> 00:23:01.480
because she's trying to
hold Melissa's hips back

480
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:04.549
so she can't get up high
and punch her elbow her.

481
00:23:04.549 --> 00:23:07.886
And this is just
a human pretzel.

482
00:23:07.886 --> 00:23:10.021
This is a double pretzel.

483
00:23:10.021 --> 00:23:12.090
Is that a technical term?

484
00:23:12.090 --> 00:23:13.358
- [Alex] I think
that does a great job

485
00:23:13.358 --> 00:23:15.794
of explaining what's going on.

486
00:23:15.794 --> 00:23:17.996
- [Rodolfo] To bring
in a layman's term.

487
00:23:17.996 --> 00:23:19.965
- [Campbell] Layman,
I'm a layman.

488
00:23:19.965 --> 00:23:21.233
I'm a casual.

489
00:23:21.233 --> 00:23:23.468
- You're just lame, Campbell.
- I'm just lame.

490
00:23:25.237 --> 00:23:28.039
- [Rodolfo] Samantha
searching for something here

491
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.508
in this position.

492
00:23:29.508 --> 00:23:32.511
She does have that shield
there with that right leg

493
00:23:32.511 --> 00:23:33.912
trying to push off Amaya.

494
00:23:33.912 --> 00:23:35.680
But she does have the
hooks there, Alex,

495
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:38.650
for not allowing to get a sweep.

496
00:23:38.650 --> 00:23:42.354
- [Alex] Yeah, and right
now Melissa is working,

497
00:23:42.354 --> 00:23:45.157
trying to get past
the guard of Francois.

498
00:23:46.191 --> 00:23:48.527
But here she's putting her arm

499
00:23:48.527 --> 00:23:49.995
and putting that
shoulder pressure.

500
00:23:49.995 --> 00:23:52.464
That's a big point of what
she's trying to do there.

501
00:23:52.464 --> 00:23:54.800
Because if she can
get Francois's face

502
00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:56.234
to look the other way,

503
00:23:56.234 --> 00:23:59.371
she can control a lot of
where her body is going to go.

504
00:23:59.371 --> 00:24:01.873
So great pressure from La Mamba,

505
00:24:01.873 --> 00:24:05.443
who's gonna try to use
those slithery snaky moves

506
00:24:05.443 --> 00:24:07.679
in isolated arm right here.

507
00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:08.947
- [Campbell] Look at this.

508
00:24:08.947 --> 00:24:11.316
She is just dominating
her on the ground here.

509
00:24:12.884 --> 00:24:14.186
They're matched up
- So that jiu jitsu.

510
00:24:14.186 --> 00:24:17.956
so well except they're
10 years apart in age.

511
00:24:17.956 --> 00:24:19.591
- [Rodolfo] Age doesn't
matter, Campbell.

512
00:24:19.591 --> 00:24:21.393
Just a number sometimes.
- Just a number,

513
00:24:21.393 --> 00:24:23.528
- I guess.
- Sometimes.

514
00:24:23.528 --> 00:24:24.796
- Sometimes.
- I'm not sure

515
00:24:24.796 --> 00:24:26.198
it's just a number for fighters.

516
00:24:26.198 --> 00:24:28.400
(Rodolfo laughs)

517
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.634
I mean I would say Melissa's

518
00:24:29.634 --> 00:24:32.771
coming into her peak
performance years.

519
00:24:32.771 --> 00:24:34.206
- [Alex] 100%.

520
00:24:34.206 --> 00:24:36.074
She's coming off of that
great win against Gillian Noll

521
00:24:36.074 --> 00:24:38.677
where we didn't really get
to see that much groundwork.

522
00:24:38.677 --> 00:24:40.645
But now she's getting
to put it on display

523
00:24:40.645 --> 00:24:42.047
and I feel like we're seeing

524
00:24:42.047 --> 00:24:45.217
a lot of that isometric
strength from Melissa Amaya.

525
00:24:46.318 --> 00:24:47.719
- [Rodolfo] Yeah,
right after that fight.

526
00:24:47.719 --> 00:24:49.554
Well before Gillian Noll,

527
00:24:49.554 --> 00:24:51.089
I remember Melissa telling me

528
00:24:51.089 --> 00:24:53.225
I need to work more on
my hands and she sure did

529
00:24:53.225 --> 00:24:54.626
to fight against Noll.

530
00:24:54.626 --> 00:24:55.927
We talked about not
showing a lot of groundwork

531
00:24:55.927 --> 00:24:57.963
is 'cause she was
confident in her hands.

532
00:24:57.963 --> 00:24:59.998
But it's much more
in this fight left.

533
00:24:59.998 --> 00:25:01.466
We'll be back with more

534
00:25:01.466 --> 00:25:03.001
and head to the second chapter

535
00:25:03.001 --> 00:25:05.303
of Amaya versus Jean-Francois.

536
00:25:05.303 --> 00:25:07.973
(upbeat music)

537
00:25:13.144 --> 00:25:15.714
And welcome back Melissa Amaya

538
00:25:15.714 --> 00:25:18.350
taking on the French woman
Samantha Jean-Francois

539
00:25:18.350 --> 00:25:20.785
in our main event here
of Combate Global.

540
00:25:20.785 --> 00:25:24.189
But we still have our
co-main coming right after.

541
00:25:24.189 --> 00:25:26.024
- [Campbell] Oh they're
all main events, come on.

542
00:25:26.024 --> 00:25:27.425
These fights are great.

543
00:25:27.425 --> 00:25:28.493
- [Rodolfo] Mucho mas accion.

544
00:25:28.493 --> 00:25:29.628
You read it correctly.

545
00:25:30.629 --> 00:25:32.464
Much more action
as Samantha now.

546
00:25:32.464 --> 00:25:34.666
Oh yeah the left hand.
- Oh yeah, oh yeah, come on.

547
00:25:34.666 --> 00:25:36.101
- She's down.
- She's going to be out.

548
00:25:36.101 --> 00:25:37.068
- She is down.

549
00:25:37.068 --> 00:25:38.703
- Oh my God up kick.

550
00:25:38.703 --> 00:25:39.704
- [Alex] Crazy up kick.

551
00:25:39.704 --> 00:25:41.106
- Oh my God.
- Holy cow.

552
00:25:41.106 --> 00:25:42.774
- [Alex] Dude, this is the
most fun I've ever seen.

553
00:25:42.774 --> 00:25:45.110
Melissa La Mamba
Amaya having a fight.

554
00:25:45.110 --> 00:25:47.345
She is throwing haymakers,

555
00:25:47.345 --> 00:25:49.948
and she landed clean
with an overhand, right?

556
00:25:49.948 --> 00:25:52.851
Confident as hell and now
she's laying down that ground

557
00:25:52.851 --> 00:25:56.187
and pound some and
Samantha is in trouble.

558
00:25:56.187 --> 00:25:57.122
- [Rodolfo] Way to go.

559
00:25:57.122 --> 00:25:58.423
And here in Combate Global,

560
00:25:58.423 --> 00:26:00.625
we got that open score
and the judges saw it

561
00:26:00.625 --> 00:26:04.963
that first round going to
the American Melissa Amaya

562
00:26:04.963 --> 00:26:05.830
10 even.

563
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:08.867
- Oh that hurts.
- But that shot

564
00:26:08.867 --> 00:26:12.237
from Amaya might have
damaged Samantha.

565
00:26:12.237 --> 00:26:15.040
- [Campbell] I think she
was out for a moment there.

566
00:26:15.040 --> 00:26:16.875
- She's definitely trapped.
- And she got that up kick.

567
00:26:16.875 --> 00:26:18.043
I don't know if that was luck

568
00:26:18.043 --> 00:26:21.079
or just muscle memory.
- Yeah, it must

569
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.949
have been muscle memory
the way she landed.

570
00:26:23.949 --> 00:26:25.951
But how much of an
impact it had to Amaya?

571
00:26:25.951 --> 00:26:27.419
I don't think it had any

572
00:26:27.419 --> 00:26:30.221
'cause she is being just a
savage here from disposition

573
00:26:30.221 --> 00:26:31.990
landing in those punches.

574
00:26:31.990 --> 00:26:34.225
Very confident in
her fight game, Alex.

575
00:26:34.225 --> 00:26:36.828
- [Alex] Yeah, this
is beautiful work

576
00:26:36.828 --> 00:26:38.763
the way she's able
to hold her down,

577
00:26:38.763 --> 00:26:40.398
shift the hips
- Pinning her.

578
00:26:41.533 --> 00:26:43.735
and also do it in her
corner right here.

579
00:26:43.735 --> 00:26:45.904
- Right.
- It's a perfect scenario

580
00:26:45.904 --> 00:26:47.272
for the second round.

581
00:26:47.272 --> 00:26:48.506
- [Rodolfo] Oh those elbows.

582
00:26:48.506 --> 00:26:49.674
Look at those vicious
elbows from Amaya.

583
00:26:49.674 --> 00:26:51.443
And you said it right Alex,

584
00:26:51.443 --> 00:26:52.777
she's definitely
licked listening

585
00:26:52.777 --> 00:26:55.113
to Rick Little for
those directions.

586
00:26:56.615 --> 00:26:57.949
- [Campbell] I wonder
if she's seeing Rick

587
00:26:57.949 --> 00:26:59.384
Juliana Pena hates you.

588
00:27:01.186 --> 00:27:02.420
I think he knows.

589
00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:03.221
- [Rodolfo] I think
Twitter's going to buzz

590
00:27:03.221 --> 00:27:04.956
right now, Campbell.

591
00:27:04.956 --> 00:27:07.759
- JP, if you're watching,
I know I love you.

592
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.827
You know I love you.

593
00:27:10.228 --> 00:27:11.630
Rick's a great coach.

594
00:27:11.630 --> 00:27:12.897
He's a great coach.

595
00:27:12.897 --> 00:27:15.200
A lot of great fighters
coming outta Spokane.

596
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:16.468
- [Rodolfo] Now what
I've been taking,

597
00:27:16.468 --> 00:27:19.571
keeping an eye on is
that figure four lock

598
00:27:19.571 --> 00:27:23.541
that she has on Amaya, Alex,
she keeps it, She lets it go.

599
00:27:23.541 --> 00:27:24.576
She keeps it, she lets it go.

600
00:27:24.576 --> 00:27:25.877
Right now, it's not on her.

601
00:27:25.877 --> 00:27:27.912
But that could have
done something for her,

602
00:27:27.912 --> 00:27:29.981
for Samantha for
- Look at Melissa's back.

603
00:27:29.981 --> 00:27:32.017
You see how strong she is?
- No, she looks

604
00:27:32.017 --> 00:27:33.118
in physical shape.
- She looks great

605
00:27:33.118 --> 00:27:33.985
on this fight.

606
00:27:33.985 --> 00:27:35.220
- [Rodolfo] Great shape.

607
00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:36.388
Best we've ever seen her here

608
00:27:36.388 --> 00:27:38.857
for the seventh time
inside La Jaula.

609
00:27:40.291 --> 00:27:42.861
- [Alex] And right now they're
in a half guard position,

610
00:27:42.861 --> 00:27:44.663
which is advantageous
for Melissa

611
00:27:44.663 --> 00:27:46.097
being up against the cage here.

612
00:27:46.097 --> 00:27:49.034
But for a second she thought
to just completely move

613
00:27:49.034 --> 00:27:50.468
to mount, which is
when you're completely

614
00:27:50.468 --> 00:27:54.506
on top of your opponent
in the best position

615
00:27:54.506 --> 00:27:56.074
to get some ground
and pound then.

616
00:27:56.074 --> 00:27:57.509
But again, look at that arm
- Positioning.

617
00:27:57.509 --> 00:27:58.710
against the face.

618
00:27:58.710 --> 00:27:59.778
- Yeah, look at the position
- No stop.

619
00:27:59.778 --> 00:28:01.680
of the knee for Melissa Amaya.

620
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.616
Listen, they studied
her opponent quite well.

621
00:28:04.616 --> 00:28:06.151
The strategy has worked.

622
00:28:07.385 --> 00:28:10.455
She's taking Samantha
out of her fight game.

623
00:28:10.455 --> 00:28:11.589
- [Campbell] Samantha's
taking a little bit

624
00:28:11.589 --> 00:28:12.824
of a beating here.

625
00:28:12.824 --> 00:28:14.059
- [Rodolfo] So roadblock.

626
00:28:15.627 --> 00:28:17.395
You could take all
the experience out
the door right now

627
00:28:17.395 --> 00:28:19.698
'cause Melissa Amaya.

628
00:28:19.698 --> 00:28:21.833
- [Campbell] Is just
dominating here.

629
00:28:21.833 --> 00:28:24.235
- Pure domination.
- Is just dominating.

630
00:28:24.235 --> 00:28:25.336
- [Campbell] Look
at those elbows.

631
00:28:25.336 --> 00:28:26.704
This is such an
uncomfortable place

632
00:28:26.704 --> 00:28:29.708
for Samantha.
- Vicious, vicious.

633
00:28:29.708 --> 00:28:32.477
- [Rodolfo] And using
La Jaula, pinning her.

634
00:28:33.344 --> 00:28:34.412
- She's gotta start

635
00:28:34.412 --> 00:28:35.413
defending herself.
- Favoring her.

636
00:28:35.413 --> 00:28:36.881
- [Alex] Or this
could be stopped

637
00:28:36.881 --> 00:28:38.983
if those punches keep
coming down with the elbows.

638
00:28:38.983 --> 00:28:42.387
- [Campbell] Yeah, Marcos
the referee might stop this.

639
00:28:42.387 --> 00:28:44.422
- [Rodolfo] He may, he's
keeping a close eye there.

640
00:28:45.256 --> 00:28:46.724
And there's some other women

641
00:28:48.226 --> 00:28:49.694
here in Combate Global, Campbell

642
00:28:49.694 --> 00:28:52.730
that are keeping a very
close eye at Amaya.

643
00:28:52.730 --> 00:28:54.099
- Yeah.
- One name comes

644
00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:55.200
to mind right now.

645
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:56.434
- [Campbell] Who is that?

646
00:28:57.302 --> 00:28:59.504
- Sanchez to the top fighters.

647
00:28:59.504 --> 00:29:00.438
And we have some
- Oh yeah.

648
00:29:00.438 --> 00:29:01.840
really great fighters here.

649
00:29:01.840 --> 00:29:02.941
- Stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop.

650
00:29:02.941 --> 00:29:04.309
- Oh stop, there it is.
- Oh, that's it.

651
00:29:04.309 --> 00:29:05.376
- That's it.
- That's it.

652
00:29:05.376 --> 00:29:06.377
- That's good call.
- Enough.

653
00:29:06.377 --> 00:29:07.712
- [Campbell] That's a good call.

654
00:29:07.712 --> 00:29:08.713
Alright, I gotta go
in for this too guys.

655
00:29:08.713 --> 00:29:10.315
You gotta cover for me.

656
00:29:10.315 --> 00:29:11.282
These fights are too great.

657
00:29:11.282 --> 00:29:12.383
- [Rodolfo] You're getting in

658
00:29:12.383 --> 00:29:13.651
your 10,000 steps
today Campbell.

659
00:29:13.651 --> 00:29:15.386
- [Campbell] All right,
all right, I gotta go.

660
00:29:15.386 --> 00:29:16.221
- [Rodolfo] You're good.

661
00:29:16.221 --> 00:29:17.756
El Jefe liked the fight,

662
00:29:17.756 --> 00:29:21.226
and I'm sure many other
women are keeping a close eye

663
00:29:21.226 --> 00:29:26.030
at Melissa Amaya,
incredible victory

664
00:29:26.030 --> 00:29:29.868
continues to be
undefeated in La Jaula

665
00:29:29.868 --> 00:29:32.770
seven and 0 for Amaya.

666
00:29:32.770 --> 00:29:36.040
We'll be back with a final
result after the break.

667
00:29:36.040 --> 00:29:38.676
(upbeat music)

668
00:29:44.149 --> 00:29:46.985
Melissa Amaya continues
to be undefeated

669
00:29:46.985 --> 00:29:49.187
and proves to seven and 0.

670
00:29:49.187 --> 00:29:51.356
Beatriz let us know.

671
00:29:52.457 --> 00:29:56.828
- (Beatriz speaks
foreign language)

672
00:29:58.496 --> 00:30:02.100
The official time three
minutes and 44 seconds

673
00:30:02.100 --> 00:30:04.702
of round number two.

674
00:30:04.702 --> 00:30:08.540
And the winner by
technical knockout

675
00:30:08.540 --> 00:30:13.311
(Beatriz speaks
foreign language)

676
00:30:13.311 --> 00:30:14.579
Melissa Amaya.

677
00:30:20.018 --> 00:30:23.688
- [Rodolfo] What a
victory for Melissa Amaya

678
00:30:23.688 --> 00:30:27.592
and proves to seven and 0
against inexperienced fighter

679
00:30:27.592 --> 00:30:29.494
in Samantha Jean-Francois.

680
00:30:29.494 --> 00:30:30.762
It goes to show you

681
00:30:30.762 --> 00:30:34.132
that she is able to get
in there with a savages.

682
00:30:34.132 --> 00:30:36.000
Just bring on the
next competition.

683
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.868
She's ready.

684
00:30:36.868 --> 00:30:38.102
We'll be back with more.

685
00:30:38.102 --> 00:30:40.638
(upbeat music)

686
00:30:45.844 --> 00:30:48.846
Seven and 0 for Melissa Amaya

687
00:30:48.846 --> 00:30:51.015
taking on the
experienced French woman

688
00:30:51.015 --> 00:30:52.250
Samantha Jean-Francois.

689
00:30:52.250 --> 00:30:54.619
Alex Wedling, I mean
most definitely.

690
00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:56.054
She looked awesome in there.

691
00:30:56.054 --> 00:30:57.255
- [Alex] She said she came.

692
00:30:57.255 --> 00:30:58.223
Well I went in
there and she goes,

693
00:30:58.223 --> 00:31:00.491
"I came back with a vengeance."

694
00:31:00.491 --> 00:31:01.726
Scared me.

695
00:31:01.726 --> 00:31:03.194
- She scared you.
- Yeah, after a year off

696
00:31:03.194 --> 00:31:05.763
trying to recover
from a broken hand,

697
00:31:05.763 --> 00:31:07.765
and really wanting
to make a statement

698
00:31:07.765 --> 00:31:09.601
that she's undefeated
for a reason

699
00:31:09.601 --> 00:31:11.402
and she's willing
to fight whoever

700
00:31:11.402 --> 00:31:13.805
is willing to sign
that contract.

701
00:31:13.805 --> 00:31:14.639
- Look at that.
- And she made

702
00:31:14.639 --> 00:31:16.274
a come forward fighter.

703
00:31:16.274 --> 00:31:19.143
Look like it was her
first day in the cage.

704
00:31:19.143 --> 00:31:22.447
Melissa La Mamba
Amaya seven in 0,

705
00:31:22.447 --> 00:31:24.883
honestly queen of La Jaula.

706
00:31:24.883 --> 00:31:27.518
- [Rodolfo] Ooh she's definitely
wearing that crown tonight.

707
00:31:27.518 --> 00:31:29.087
Very shiny.

708
00:31:29.087 --> 00:31:31.456
You could see it from
a a different planet.

709
00:31:31.456 --> 00:31:32.690
How shiny that thing is.

710
00:31:32.690 --> 00:31:34.726
Seven and 0 improves undefeated.

711
00:31:34.726 --> 00:31:35.894
Look at that.

712
00:31:35.894 --> 00:31:38.329
Confident stepping
over a fighter

713
00:31:38.329 --> 00:31:41.566
who has close to 20 fights.
- Hey three back there.

714
00:31:41.566 --> 00:31:42.700
- [Rodolfo] Great stuff

715
00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:44.002
from the American
- Look at that.

716
00:31:44.002 --> 00:31:46.371
Melissa, Amaya and is
all woman's fight card.

717
00:31:46.371 --> 00:31:48.873
But we still have more.

718
00:31:48.873 --> 00:31:50.141
That's right.

719
00:31:50.141 --> 00:31:51.609
We got Melissa Gomez.
- Always more.

720
00:31:51.609 --> 00:31:53.177
- Will she remain undefeated?
- Much more action.

721
00:31:53.177 --> 00:31:55.647
- [Rodolfo] Taking on Ana
Palacios who's looking forward

722
00:31:55.647 --> 00:31:57.448
to get another victory.

723
00:31:57.448 --> 00:31:59.651
We'll be back with a fight.

724
00:31:59.651 --> 00:32:00.618
- [Campbell] Okay.

725
00:32:00.618 --> 00:32:02.654
(upbeat music)

726
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:13.364
- (Melissa speaking
in foreign language)

727
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.316
- [Rodolfo] Will Melissa
Gomez keep that or

728
00:33:06.718 --> 00:33:08.987
as she takes on protecting
the most experienced fighter

729
00:33:08.987 --> 00:33:10.722
to date in Ana Palacios?

730
00:33:10.722 --> 00:33:11.990
We'll find out next.

731
00:33:13.825 --> 00:33:16.427
(upbeat music)

732
00:33:19.030 --> 00:33:20.264
(audience applauds and cheers)

733
00:33:20.264 --> 00:33:24.602
- (Ana speaks in
foreign language)

734
00:34:12.183 --> 00:34:14.819
(upbeat music)

735
00:34:18.322 --> 00:34:20.224
(audience applauds and cheers)

736
00:34:20.224 --> 00:34:24.429
Ana Palacios in search to
get back to the win column.

737
00:34:24.429 --> 00:34:25.296
The mental game.

738
00:34:25.296 --> 00:34:26.230
That was her fault.

739
00:34:26.230 --> 00:34:27.532
Now she says it's improved.

740
00:34:27.532 --> 00:34:29.901
We'll find out if
she gets that W,

741
00:34:29.901 --> 00:34:31.836
and if we get the
old Ana Palacios.

742
00:34:31.836 --> 00:34:34.472
(upbeat music)

743
00:34:37.208 --> 00:34:40.344
(audience cheers and applauds)

744
00:34:43.614 --> 00:34:45.817
- La Jaula, Melissa Gomez.

745
00:34:47.218 --> 00:34:51.189
(audience cheers and applauds)

746
00:34:56.260 --> 00:34:57.929
- [Rodolfo] When you
look at Melissa Gomez,

747
00:34:57.929 --> 00:35:00.498
the thing that stands out
is footwork and boxing.

748
00:35:00.498 --> 00:35:03.234
But she said earlier
on this week,

749
00:35:03.234 --> 00:35:05.536
"I have grounding, I
just haven't shown it

750
00:35:05.536 --> 00:35:07.271
because I had a lot of injuries.

751
00:35:07.271 --> 00:35:08.372
But now I'm 100%."

752
00:35:08.372 --> 00:35:09.907
Alex.

753
00:35:09.907 --> 00:35:11.943
- [Alex] Yeah, she's
definitely ready to go

754
00:35:11.943 --> 00:35:14.745
and ready to showcase that
she is a well-rounded fighter.

755
00:35:14.745 --> 00:35:17.348
I have a feeling she is gonna
wanna keep it on the feet

756
00:35:17.348 --> 00:35:19.016
against Ana Palacios.

757
00:35:19.016 --> 00:35:21.786
But she's locked in, ready to go

758
00:35:21.786 --> 00:35:24.655
and ready to punctuate
a perfect record

759
00:35:24.655 --> 00:35:26.190
once again here in La Jaula.

760
00:35:26.190 --> 00:35:27.658
- [Rodolfo] And Campbell,
there's no doubt

761
00:35:27.658 --> 00:35:32.163
there's a long strong fan
base for Chilenian fighters.

762
00:35:32.163 --> 00:35:35.933
- [Campbell] I gotta say, if
I look in terms of Hispanic,

763
00:35:35.933 --> 00:35:37.502
Hispanic speaking countries,

764
00:35:37.502 --> 00:35:41.472
Mexico is the most developed
in MMA after U.S. of course.

765
00:35:41.472 --> 00:35:44.542
And it's hard to say,
I think Chile is next.

766
00:35:44.542 --> 00:35:47.178
Certainly in South
America, Chile and Columbia

767
00:35:47.178 --> 00:35:50.481
are the leaders in terms of
development of the sport.

768
00:35:50.481 --> 00:35:53.451
We see a lot of great
fighters from Chile.

769
00:35:53.451 --> 00:35:56.254
At Peru at one point looked
like it was coming along,

770
00:35:56.254 --> 00:36:00.291
but we haven't seen that many
winners out of Peru lately.

771
00:36:00.291 --> 00:36:02.693
But Chile, very
strong small country.

772
00:36:04.562 --> 00:36:05.763
(dramatic music)

773
00:36:05.763 --> 00:36:09.901
- [Beatriz] Opponente
Ana Palacios.

774
00:36:09.901 --> 00:36:13.838
(audience cheers and applauds)

775
00:36:17.408 --> 00:36:22.480
- [Rodolfo] La Herrera
Ana Palacios at one
point undefeated,

776
00:36:23.314 --> 00:36:25.650
one of the top in her division.

777
00:36:25.650 --> 00:36:26.551
Has had a setback.

778
00:36:26.551 --> 00:36:28.586
Two fights back to back.

779
00:36:28.586 --> 00:36:31.088
However she said the
last time I fought

780
00:36:31.088 --> 00:36:32.890
I just didn't feel myself.

781
00:36:32.890 --> 00:36:35.293
There was something
going on mentally.

782
00:36:35.293 --> 00:36:37.495
I have worked on this,

783
00:36:37.495 --> 00:36:40.898
and a win for me tonight
will be bringing back

784
00:36:40.898 --> 00:36:44.769
that old Ana Palacios,
one that's in deep waters

785
00:36:44.769 --> 00:36:47.872
and all of a sudden she'll
pull off those victories.

786
00:36:47.872 --> 00:36:49.106
- [Campbell] Yeah, we
were all disappointed

787
00:36:49.106 --> 00:36:50.608
in that last fight.

788
00:36:50.608 --> 00:36:52.310
There was something wrong,
there was something not right

789
00:36:52.310 --> 00:36:54.111
with Ana's a
favorite around here.

790
00:36:54.111 --> 00:36:56.781
We want to see her do
well but this is sort of,

791
00:36:56.781 --> 00:36:59.350
she's sort of got to
do well on this fight.

792
00:37:00.651 --> 00:37:03.487
- [Alex] And pain plus
reflection equals progress.

793
00:37:03.487 --> 00:37:06.857
And that is what she's looking
to accomplish here tonight.

794
00:37:06.857 --> 00:37:10.628
She's just 25 years old
representing Bone Breakers MMA

795
00:37:10.628 --> 00:37:12.463
and she brings that name to life

796
00:37:12.463 --> 00:37:14.298
with the submission
attacks she pulls.

797
00:37:14.298 --> 00:37:17.101
If you don't tap quick
enough, it's tapper snap.

798
00:37:18.369 --> 00:37:19.337
- [Rodolfo] Absolutely.

799
00:37:19.337 --> 00:37:21.839
As we get ready for our co-main

800
00:37:23.107 --> 00:37:26.344
Gomez undefeated Ana
Palacios looking for a W.

801
00:37:27.545 --> 00:37:30.848
We'll be back with a
bout after the break.

802
00:37:30.848 --> 00:37:33.451
(upbeat music)

803
00:37:38.723 --> 00:37:40.925
(audience cheers and applauds)
(upbeat music)

804
00:37:40.925 --> 00:37:42.526
And here we go.

805
00:37:42.526 --> 00:37:44.462
Melissa Gomez undefeated

806
00:37:44.462 --> 00:37:47.365
taking on the
Mexican Ana Palacios,

807
00:37:47.365 --> 00:37:50.601
Mexico verses Chile in La Jaula

808
00:37:50.601 --> 00:37:54.405
to cap off this all
woman's fight card.

809
00:37:54.405 --> 00:37:59.377
Great stuff coming up in
this bout 32 for Gomez

810
00:38:00.077 --> 00:38:02.113
compared to Palacios 25.

811
00:38:02.113 --> 00:38:06.250
The height advantage going
to the women from Chile

812
00:38:06.250 --> 00:38:11.122
as well as their reach and
the weight 106 to 105.2

813
00:38:11.122 --> 00:38:13.291
as we get this bout ready to go.

814
00:38:13.291 --> 00:38:14.325
Beatriz.

815
00:38:15.993 --> 00:38:20.898
- (Beatriz speaks
in foreign language)

816
00:38:20.898 --> 00:38:23.367
We continue with much
more action this bout.

817
00:38:23.367 --> 00:38:25.503
In the Adam Weight Division

818
00:38:26.537 --> 00:38:29.407

(Beatriz speaks in

she took the scale 106 pounds.

(Beatriz speaks in
foreign language)

827
00:39:06.677 --> 00:39:09.380
Tonight she enters La
Jaula undefeated as a pro

828
00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:10.915
with four victories.

829
00:39:10.915 --> 00:39:14.118
De Santiago the
Chile, Melissa Gomez.

(dramatic music)

831

her official weight 105.2 pounds

with a pro record
of seven victories,

836
00:39:40.010 --> 00:39:41.812
three losses and one draw.

837
00:39:43.114 --> 00:39:46.817
Mexicana, Mexico City, Mexico
Ana La Herrera Palacios.

838
00:39:51.689 --> 00:39:55.059
(audience applauds and cheers)

839
00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:57.495
Referee Christopher Mignocchi.

840
00:39:59.663 --> 00:40:04.402
- (Mignocchi speaks
in foreign language)

841
00:40:05.903 --> 00:40:08.372
- [Rodolfo] The gloves are
touched, the respect is there.

842
00:40:08.372 --> 00:40:12.743
Ana Palacios, did she go
through the mental hurdle?

843
00:40:12.743 --> 00:40:16.714
Is she the old Ana Palacios?
- Listen, she's gotta answer

844
00:40:16.714 --> 00:40:17.915
those questions Rodolfo.

845
00:40:17.915 --> 00:40:18.883
There's no doubt.

846
00:40:18.883 --> 00:40:20.651
But what I think this fight is

847
00:40:20.651 --> 00:40:24.054
Mexican MMA versus
South American MMA.

848
00:40:24.054 --> 00:40:25.923
Like how developed are these.

849
00:40:27.091 --> 00:40:29.527
Mexico, we know has
been doing it longer

850
00:40:29.527 --> 00:40:31.529
but Chile has really
come on strong.

851
00:40:31.529 --> 00:40:33.531
- [Rodolfo] Stepping up
and we've seen some of them

852
00:40:33.531 --> 00:40:35.533
compete inside La Jaula.

853
00:40:36.934 --> 00:40:38.202
- The rivalry starting
- Gomez.

854
00:40:38.202 --> 00:40:40.538
to become very iconic
in Combate Global.

855
00:40:40.538 --> 00:40:41.539
- [Campbell] I
think that's right.

856
00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:43.007
I think that is right.

857
00:40:43.007 --> 00:40:44.408
- [Rodolfo] And we saw
some folks out there

858
00:40:44.408 --> 00:40:46.777
in the stands
representing La Roja.

859
00:40:47.878 --> 00:40:50.414
That's for the
Chile soccer team.

860
00:40:52.650 --> 00:40:56.053
Gomez known for that
boxing footwork.

861
00:40:56.053 --> 00:40:58.489
- [Campbell] Look at a good
head movement too, right?

862
00:40:58.489 --> 00:41:00.791
We don't see so much good head.

863
00:41:00.791 --> 00:41:01.592
What?

864
00:41:01.592 --> 00:41:02.960
Oh yep.

865
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.727
- [Rodolfo] She has great
head movement, Campbell.

866
00:41:03.727 --> 00:41:05.296
- [Campbell] Fast.

867
00:41:05.296 --> 00:41:08.766
- [Rodolfo] That could be very
frustrating for Ana, Alex.

868
00:41:08.766 --> 00:41:11.936
- [Alex] Yeah, Melissa Gomez
likes to work in diagonals.

869
00:41:11.936 --> 00:41:13.137
She's very elusive.

870
00:41:13.137 --> 00:41:14.572
She's bouncing around

871
00:41:14.572 --> 00:41:17.441
and Ana Palacios is
definitely looking at her time

872
00:41:17.441 --> 00:41:19.410
to shoot in for a take down.

873
00:41:19.410 --> 00:41:22.046
But she's gonna have to pepper
in like a barrage of punches

874
00:41:22.046 --> 00:41:23.514
to close that distance

875
00:41:23.514 --> 00:41:26.250
and be able to get a take
down against Melissa Gomez

876
00:41:26.250 --> 00:41:28.953
who had a lot of practice
evading take downs

877
00:41:28.953 --> 00:41:31.689
against Katie Perez, a
jiu jitsu specialist.

878
00:41:31.689 --> 00:41:34.859
So we'll be able to see what
Ana Palacios can work in here.

879
00:41:34.859 --> 00:41:36.327
- Alex is so right
about the angles.

880
00:41:36.327 --> 00:41:37.862
Melissa's working.

881
00:41:37.862 --> 00:41:40.498
Like you can't figure out
which way she's coming from.

882
00:41:40.498 --> 00:41:41.832
She's got those long legs

883
00:41:41.832 --> 00:41:46.003
and her good footwork,
good head movement.

884
00:41:46.003 --> 00:41:48.772
Starting to look
tough for Ana already.

885
00:41:48.772 --> 00:41:50.808
- [Alex] Nice high kick there.

886
00:41:50.808 --> 00:41:52.776
She likes to switch
stances as well.

887
00:41:52.776 --> 00:41:54.845
And it's in those
switch stances moments

888
00:41:54.845 --> 00:41:58.415
that Ana Palacios can
capitalize off those openings

889
00:41:58.415 --> 00:41:59.850
'cause when you're
switching stances,

890
00:41:59.850 --> 00:42:02.419
you leave some openings
on the defensive side.

891
00:42:02.419 --> 00:42:03.854
So we'll be able to see

892
00:42:03.854 --> 00:42:07.091
if Ana can push up a little
bit on that pressure.

893
00:42:07.091 --> 00:42:10.527
Because if you don't
give Melissa Gomez
a reason to back up,

894
00:42:10.527 --> 00:42:12.196
she's not gonna back up.

895
00:42:12.196 --> 00:42:14.498
- [Rodolfo] Gomez already
or Palacios' leaving already

896
00:42:14.498 --> 00:42:19.536
some dents in that left leg
of Gomez, that inner thigh.

897
00:42:20.804 --> 00:42:22.139
Gomez entering the La
Jaula for the fifth time.

898
00:42:22.139 --> 00:42:24.241
All her victories have
come by way of decision.

899
00:42:24.241 --> 00:42:26.377
I'm sure she's hungry to
get that first victory

900
00:42:26.377 --> 00:42:30.681
by way of a stoppage
or finish or knockout.

901
00:42:30.681 --> 00:42:32.283
Contrary to Ana Palacios,

902
00:42:32.283 --> 00:42:33.817
her last time we saw
her inside La Jaula

903
00:42:33.817 --> 00:42:38.389
was back in December taking
Anastasia Nikolakakos.

904
00:42:40.491 --> 00:42:45.129
And that was a defeat for her
in the third round by TKO.

905
00:42:45.129 --> 00:42:48.032
And she says she's over
that mental hurdle.

906
00:42:48.032 --> 00:42:51.201
She feels good, she
feels confident,

907
00:42:51.201 --> 00:42:54.972
and she wants to prove not only
to herself but to the world.

908
00:42:54.972 --> 00:42:56.373
- [Campbell] Well, she
looks better in this fight

909
00:42:56.373 --> 00:42:57.675
than she did in December.
- She does.

910
00:42:57.675 --> 00:42:59.076
- [Rodolfo] Yeah, she
came, you could tell

911
00:42:59.076 --> 00:43:01.178
that confidence is in there.

912
00:43:01.178 --> 00:43:05.449
She stepped into inside La
Jaula more focused, more calm.

913
00:43:05.449 --> 00:43:08.619
She said she's been working
a lot of that mental game,

914
00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:10.087
not just in her technique,

915
00:43:10.087 --> 00:43:12.489
although she has put a lot
of hours in jiu jitsu, Alex.

916
00:43:12.489 --> 00:43:13.891
She says been feeling

917
00:43:13.891 --> 00:43:17.528
a lot of in jiu jitsu
tournaments, both Gianogi.

918
00:43:17.528 --> 00:43:18.796
- [Alex] Yes, and
it's very interesting

919
00:43:18.796 --> 00:43:20.564
'cause a nice take down

920
00:43:20.564 --> 00:43:21.632
- [Rodolfo] And that's
where Ana likes it.

921
00:43:21.632 --> 00:43:23.834
But she got right back up.

922
00:43:23.834 --> 00:43:24.702
- [Alex] And it's interesting

923
00:43:24.702 --> 00:43:25.803
'cause Ana Palacios said

924
00:43:25.803 --> 00:43:27.605
she wasn't mentally
there last time,

925
00:43:27.605 --> 00:43:29.406
but Melissa said
physically she had a cold

926
00:43:29.406 --> 00:43:31.408
and now we're getting
a little heated.

927
00:43:31.408 --> 00:43:33.210
So we're not gonna
see some of that lack

928
00:43:33.210 --> 00:43:34.678
of cardio from Melissa Gomez

929
00:43:34.678 --> 00:43:35.913
who said she was struggling

930
00:43:35.913 --> 00:43:37.614
getting over a cold
in her last fight.

931
00:43:38.782 --> 00:43:41.418
But right now the
Chileana content to play

932
00:43:41.418 --> 00:43:43.721
from the outside really
lead in the dance.

933
00:43:43.721 --> 00:43:45.255
- [Campbell] Yeah,
I love this fight.

934
00:43:45.255 --> 00:43:46.123
I love these women.

935
00:43:46.123 --> 00:43:47.658
I love Combate.

936
00:43:47.658 --> 00:43:50.761
- [Alex] Yes, we love our
women here at Combate Global

937
00:43:50.761 --> 00:43:52.930
on the best platform Fuse TV

938
00:43:52.930 --> 00:43:57.835
celebrating the badass women
that make this sport great.

939
00:43:57.835 --> 00:43:59.436
- [Rodolfo] They don't
take any easy routes here.

940
00:43:59.436 --> 00:44:00.871
Our women come for a W,

941
00:44:00.871 --> 00:44:02.206
they don't try to
protect their records

942
00:44:02.206 --> 00:44:03.641
and we're seeing it
right here right now.

943
00:44:03.641 --> 00:44:05.009
- [Campbell] Or win on points.

944
00:44:05.009 --> 00:44:06.076
They don't try

945
00:44:06.076 --> 00:44:07.344
to win on points.
- Right, no.

946
00:44:07.344 --> 00:44:08.412
- [Rodolfo] No, that
ain't pickleball.

947
00:44:08.412 --> 00:44:09.446
- Yeah, they ain't here

948
00:44:09.446 --> 00:44:11.015
to pickleball.
- Here to fight.

949
00:44:11.015 --> 00:44:12.650
- [Campbell] My darling
wife, if you're watching,

950
00:44:12.650 --> 00:44:14.485
I know you love the pickleball.

951
00:44:16.687 --> 00:44:18.555
- [Rodolfo] By the way,
great axe take attempt

952
00:44:18.555 --> 00:44:19.857
there from Gomez.

953
00:44:19.857 --> 00:44:21.659
- [Alex] Yeah, and
Gomez really starting

954
00:44:21.659 --> 00:44:24.561
to put some money in the
bank with those leg kicks.

955
00:44:24.561 --> 00:44:27.197
They're adding up here
against Ana Palacios

956
00:44:27.197 --> 00:44:29.033
who's gonna start feeling
those after a while,

957
00:44:29.033 --> 00:44:31.635
she's gonna have to start
checking them a little bit more

958
00:44:31.635 --> 00:44:34.138
and we're gonna have to see
a little bit more volume.

959
00:44:34.138 --> 00:44:36.673
I think working in a double
jab to close that distance

960
00:44:36.673 --> 00:44:38.642
for Ana Palacios will be key.

961
00:44:38.642 --> 00:44:39.977
So it'll be interesting to see

962
00:44:39.977 --> 00:44:41.645
what advice she gets
from her corner.

963
00:44:41.645 --> 00:44:43.647
- [Campbell] Throw
punches in bunches.

964
00:44:43.647 --> 00:44:45.182
- [Rodolfo] Yeah, she
has to get in there

965
00:44:45.182 --> 00:44:48.485
and scrap a little if she
wants to go for that take down.

966
00:44:48.485 --> 00:44:50.854
And she has the hand,
she has the power.

967
00:44:50.854 --> 00:44:53.223
Of course the confidence on
her ground game is on point.

968
00:44:53.223 --> 00:44:56.994
But there's no doubt
in previous fights

969
00:44:56.994 --> 00:44:59.963
when she has to throw down,
she's not shy about it.

970
00:44:59.963 --> 00:45:01.899
- [Campbell] Who wins
this round, guys?

971
00:45:01.899 --> 00:45:03.100
- [Rodolfo] Oh great level.

972
00:45:03.100 --> 00:45:04.568
- May be Ana.
- I gotta give the nod

973
00:45:04.568 --> 00:45:05.602
to Melissa Gomez

974
00:45:05.602 --> 00:45:07.171
- All right, she did.
- Yeah.

975
00:45:07.171 --> 00:45:09.440
- [Rodolfo] Those hands man,
they're quick, they're faster,

976
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:11.909
they're precise as she
stated in that interview.

977
00:45:13.410 --> 00:45:14.578
Great stuff.

978
00:45:14.578 --> 00:45:15.446
- Oh yeah.
- It's in only

979
00:45:15.446 --> 00:45:17.014
the first round.
- Wow.

980
00:45:17.014 --> 00:45:19.183
- He's still, yeah.
- Got much more to go

981
00:45:19.183 --> 00:45:21.518
and we'll be back for
the second chapter.

982
00:45:21.518 --> 00:45:23.253
- [Campbell] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

983
00:45:23.253 --> 00:45:24.088
Oh yeah.
- Woo.

984
00:45:28.959 --> 00:45:31.562
- [Rodolfo] Combate
Global and Fuse.

985
00:45:31.562 --> 00:45:33.597
We hope you're enjoying
'cause we sure are.

986
00:45:33.597 --> 00:45:36.567
We are off standing on our
feet watching this bout

987
00:45:36.567 --> 00:45:40.170
just like all these folks
inside the Univision Studios.

988
00:45:40.170 --> 00:45:42.606
Fireworks in that
first round guys.

989
00:45:42.606 --> 00:45:43.841
- [Alex] Definitely.

990
00:45:43.841 --> 00:45:45.542
We saw some awesome
kicks from Ana Palacios

991
00:45:45.542 --> 00:45:49.513
who has been doing karate
since she was nine years old.

992
00:45:49.513 --> 00:45:51.748
But will we see some
of that Mexican boxing

993
00:45:51.748 --> 00:45:53.050
come into play here?

994
00:45:53.050 --> 00:45:54.685
We know she has some
great training partners

995
00:45:54.685 --> 00:45:57.087
at Bone Breakers, Yasmine Nahara

996
00:45:57.087 --> 00:45:59.356
and one that we just
saw Regina Tarin.

997
00:45:59.356 --> 00:46:01.592
So will we be able
to see her mix in

998
00:46:01.592 --> 00:46:04.795
and really show the full
martial arts spectrum here?

999
00:46:06.163 --> 00:46:08.565
- [Campbell] You know,
Melissa's, it's a weird posture.

1000
00:46:11.235 --> 00:46:12.302
- [Rodolfo] And we got
the open scoring here

1001
00:46:12.302 --> 00:46:13.237
that first round going to, Alex.

1002
00:46:13.237 --> 00:46:14.571
- [Campbell] Alex was right.

1003
00:46:14.571 --> 00:46:17.441
I've told you before,
Alex, I'm always wrong.

1004
00:46:17.441 --> 00:46:19.510
- [Rodolfo] Oh, oh,
lost her footing

1005
00:46:19.510 --> 00:46:21.278
for Gomez.
- What a scramble.

1006
00:46:23.747 --> 00:46:25.916
- [Rodolfo] But Gomez,
the precision there

1007
00:46:25.916 --> 00:46:29.786
with that boxing and it's
so hard to bring the boxing

1008
00:46:29.786 --> 00:46:31.955
and MMA sometimes
with that footwork.

1009
00:46:33.791 --> 00:46:35.092
- [Campbell] 'Cause
the setup is different.

1010
00:46:35.092 --> 00:46:36.793
- [Rodolfo] Yeah.

1011
00:46:36.793 --> 00:46:38.061
- [Campbell] Yeah,
they're different sports.

1012
00:46:38.061 --> 00:46:38.996
They're connected.

1013
00:46:40.998 --> 00:46:41.865
But you can't get

1014
00:46:41.865 --> 00:46:43.333
the full torque
- No.

1015
00:46:43.333 --> 00:46:46.637
that you do in boxing
because your foot position.

1016
00:46:46.637 --> 00:46:48.071
- [Rodolfo] Well
there's only a few,

1017
00:46:48.071 --> 00:46:50.774
maybe you can count the
people that can do that,

1018
00:46:50.774 --> 00:46:52.876
that are able to apply it in MMA

1019
00:46:52.876 --> 00:46:55.479
and then work on the
other departments as well.

1020
00:46:55.479 --> 00:46:57.281
But you can count them.

1021
00:46:57.281 --> 00:46:58.348
It's so hard.

1022
00:46:58.348 --> 00:46:59.650
It's a different thing.

1023
00:46:59.650 --> 00:47:01.051
That's why they had
that big discussion

1024
00:47:01.051 --> 00:47:03.253
when McGregor made that
jump of Mayweather.

1025
00:47:03.253 --> 00:47:04.755
Oh yeah, kind of, no, no, no.

1026
00:47:04.755 --> 00:47:07.090
- Well, McGregor started
as a boxer though, right?

1027
00:47:07.090 --> 00:47:09.526
I mean he was a boxer before
he was an MMA fighter.

1028
00:47:09.526 --> 00:47:11.995
So that was really his base.

1029
00:47:11.995 --> 00:47:13.997
- [Rodolfo] But the
stands as it was molded

1030
00:47:13.997 --> 00:47:18.368
into MMA footwork.
- His juujitsu is very good.

1031
00:47:20.204 --> 00:47:22.039
I've heard his
whiskeys crap though.

1032
00:47:23.640 --> 00:47:26.109
- I've never tried it actually.

1033
00:47:26.109 --> 00:47:28.512
- [Rodolfo] I have, I
won't say how I tasted,

1034
00:47:28.512 --> 00:47:30.247
but I just say I have.

1035
00:47:31.114 --> 00:47:32.449
We'll leave it at that.

1036
00:47:32.449 --> 00:47:34.117
- [Campbell] I noticed
you didn't disagree.

1037
00:47:34.117 --> 00:47:35.352
- [Rodolfo] We'll
leave it at that.

1038
00:47:35.352 --> 00:47:36.687
- [Campbell] All right,
back to our fight.

1039
00:47:36.687 --> 00:47:37.855
These fights have been great.

1040
00:47:37.855 --> 00:47:39.122
This is a great fight.

1041
00:47:39.122 --> 00:47:40.390
I'm so happy for Ana.

1042
00:47:40.390 --> 00:47:44.161
She's really putting on
a really strong fight.

1043
00:47:44.161 --> 00:47:45.762
I'm impressed with Melissa.

1044
00:47:46.964 --> 00:47:48.365
I can't describe her style.

1045
00:47:48.365 --> 00:47:50.400
It's just like offbeat to me.

1046
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:52.369
- [Rodolfo] Orthodox,
very confusing.

1047
00:47:52.369 --> 00:47:54.871
It's a puzzle that many
have tried to figure out

1048
00:47:54.871 --> 00:47:56.073
and they have not

1049
00:47:56.073 --> 00:47:58.075
just like Ana Palacios
here is still.

1050
00:47:58.075 --> 00:48:00.510
Oh very stiff.
- Nice.

1051
00:48:00.510 --> 00:48:01.878
- Right on cue.

1052
00:48:01.878 --> 00:48:03.113
Hasn't figured it out.
- Right on the button.

1053
00:48:03.113 --> 00:48:04.882
- [Alex] It has a
nice two straight down

1054
00:48:04.882 --> 00:48:06.850
the clown's mouth
getting it done.

1055
00:48:06.850 --> 00:48:08.118
Now these two are Adam weights

1056
00:48:08.118 --> 00:48:10.387
but they're deceptively powerful

1057
00:48:10.387 --> 00:48:11.788
and that's why you're
seeing a little bit

1058
00:48:11.788 --> 00:48:13.490
of caution from both of them.

1059
00:48:13.490 --> 00:48:15.592
Both not wanting to get
too deep inside the pocket

1060
00:48:15.592 --> 00:48:17.160
because once they
start exchanging

1061
00:48:17.160 --> 00:48:19.162
those upper cuts
overhand rights,

1062
00:48:19.162 --> 00:48:21.598
you start to taste a
little bit of that.

1063
00:48:21.598 --> 00:48:23.600
And I know the Chileana probably

1064
00:48:23.600 --> 00:48:25.435
wasn't loving the way
that straight to belt.

1065
00:48:25.435 --> 00:48:26.670
- [Rodolfo] No, she
got a little whiplash

1066
00:48:26.670 --> 00:48:28.472
out of that I'm sure.

1067
00:48:29.640 --> 00:48:31.174
Great insight.

1068
00:48:31.174 --> 00:48:34.077
- [Alex] She's loosening up
is Ana Palacios La Herrera.

1069
00:48:34.077 --> 00:48:35.345
- [Rodolfo] And what's
impressive is here

1070
00:48:35.345 --> 00:48:37.748
that Ana Palacios maybe
just one or two attempts

1071
00:48:37.748 --> 00:48:39.249
to go to the ground,

1072
00:48:39.249 --> 00:48:41.251
but the most she's stayed
right in there toe to toe

1073
00:48:41.251 --> 00:48:43.687
with Gomez and then you
try to get that leg.

1074
00:48:44.721 --> 00:48:45.956
But it's changes.

1075
00:48:45.956 --> 00:48:47.958
That's all it's been
the story of this fight.

1076
00:48:47.958 --> 00:48:49.593
- [Campbell] Sometimes when
a fighter comes back off

1077
00:48:49.593 --> 00:48:50.761
a disappointing fight,

1078
00:48:50.761 --> 00:48:51.962
they wanna stand and bang.

1079
00:48:51.962 --> 00:48:54.197
- Nice body, love it.
- To show it.

1080
00:48:54.197 --> 00:48:55.399
- [Alex] She looked
for the trip there,

1081
00:48:55.399 --> 00:48:57.067
now she has two underhooks,

1082
00:48:57.067 --> 00:49:01.505
which is Ana Palacios arm
positions up against the cage.

1083
00:49:01.505 --> 00:49:02.839
Now Melissa Gomez

1084
00:49:02.839 --> 00:49:04.675
looking to really play
her cards right here

1085
00:49:04.675 --> 00:49:07.477
because ideally she
keeps things at distance.

1086
00:49:07.477 --> 00:49:10.213
But Ana Palacios is
finally at a place

1087
00:49:10.213 --> 00:49:12.115
where she feels comfortable,

1088
00:49:12.115 --> 00:49:14.518
and if she could get
Melissa Gomez to her back,

1089
00:49:14.518 --> 00:49:16.453
we've seen Ana Palacios

1090
00:49:16.453 --> 00:49:20.357
submit another
Chileana by Americana.

1091
00:49:20.357 --> 00:49:22.359
So it could be a story of that

1092
00:49:22.359 --> 00:49:23.894
if they around here?
- By a what?

1093
00:49:23.894 --> 00:49:25.195
- An Americana.

1094
00:49:25.195 --> 00:49:26.663
- Americana.
- A shoulder lock, a keylock.

1095
00:49:26.663 --> 00:49:28.732
- [Campbell] Ah, I thought
you meant the coffee drink.

1096
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.235
- [Rodolfo] And that goes
back to July of 2021.

1097
00:49:32.235 --> 00:49:36.773
That was Gloria Bravo who
also trained at Pinto,

1098
00:49:38.241 --> 00:49:39.776
the gym out there in Chile.

1099
00:49:41.745 --> 00:49:43.647
But Ana Palacios is
that type of fighter

1100
00:49:43.647 --> 00:49:45.916
that no matter what
position she is

1101
00:49:45.916 --> 00:49:48.719
and she seems that she's in
trouble, never counter out.

1102
00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:51.822
Going back to the fight
with Bogen Park from Korea,

1103
00:49:51.822 --> 00:49:53.357
seems that she was knocked out

1104
00:49:53.357 --> 00:49:55.892
and all of a sudden pulled
out the arm bar submission.

1105
00:49:55.892 --> 00:49:56.793
- [Campbell] That
was a great fight.

1106
00:49:56.793 --> 00:49:57.794
- [Rodolfo] Yeah, sure was.

1107
00:49:57.794 --> 00:49:59.196
- [Alex] I feel like we blinked

1108
00:49:59.196 --> 00:50:01.231
and now we're already
with 30 seconds left

1109
00:50:01.231 --> 00:50:02.432
in the second round here.

1110
00:50:02.432 --> 00:50:04.001
Straight to the back.

1111
00:50:04.001 --> 00:50:06.837
- [Rodolfo] That's when you
get much more action, Alex.

1112
00:50:06.837 --> 00:50:08.171
- [Alex] Wow.

1113
00:50:08.171 --> 00:50:09.639
- [Rodolfo] At the hooks
there by Ana Palacios.

1114
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:10.607
- And she's under the chain
- It could be dangerous.

1115
00:50:10.607 --> 00:50:12.242
with 20 seconds.

1116
00:50:12.242 --> 00:50:13.243
- Maybe the rear

1117
00:50:13.243 --> 00:50:14.845
to choke her.
- Oh yeah.

1118
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:18.515
- She's back

1119
00:50:18.515 --> 00:50:19.316
in the win column.
- Oh my God.

1120
00:50:19.316 --> 00:50:20.784
Awesome, awesome.

1121
00:50:20.784 --> 00:50:22.085
Great comeback, Ana,

1122
00:50:22.085 --> 00:50:23.487
welcome back Ana.

1123
00:50:24.354 --> 00:50:25.522
Oh my god
- La Herrera

1124
00:50:25.522 --> 00:50:27.424
I gotta go in there
again for this.

1125
00:50:27.424 --> 00:50:28.525
is back.

1126
00:50:29.359 --> 00:50:30.527
We'll get

1127
00:50:30.527 --> 00:50:31.528
the official results.
- Three for the.

1128
00:50:31.528 --> 00:50:33.230
- Let's go.
after the break.

1129
00:50:33.230 --> 00:50:35.432
(upbeat music)
(audience applauds and cheers)

1130
00:50:46.743 --> 00:50:51.281
- (Beatriz speaks
in foreign language)

1131
00:50:52.215 --> 00:50:53.683
The official time.

1132
00:50:53.683 --> 00:50:57.554
Four minutes and 39 seconds
of round number two.

1133
00:50:57.554 --> 00:51:00.557
And the winner by
way of submission,

1134
00:51:00.557 --> 00:51:05.595
(Beatriz speaks in
foreign language)

1135
00:51:06.263 --> 00:51:07.564
Mexicana, Ana Palacios.

1136
00:51:13.703 --> 00:51:16.706
- [Rodolfo] Her eighth
victory as a professional.

1137
00:51:16.706 --> 00:51:19.676
She had two defeats
back to back.

1138
00:51:19.676 --> 00:51:21.378
She said there was a mental game

1139
00:51:21.378 --> 00:51:23.747
that was difficult to
overcome but she sure did.

1140
00:51:23.747 --> 00:51:27.184
Here tonight over this
victory over Melissa Gomez.

1141
00:51:27.184 --> 00:51:30.153
Alex Wendling, amazing
stuff from La Herrera.

1142
00:51:30.153 --> 00:51:33.123
- [Alex] We have seen
three finishes tonight.

1143
00:51:33.123 --> 00:51:35.859
The woman bringing
muchamas accion

1144
00:51:35.859 --> 00:51:38.228
and honestly just
props to Ana Palacios

1145
00:51:38.228 --> 00:51:39.830
for being able to stay calm.

1146
00:51:39.830 --> 00:51:41.731
She didn't win that first round

1147
00:51:41.731 --> 00:51:44.468
and she's able to get a
submission in the second.

1148
00:51:44.468 --> 00:51:46.703
We just take a look at
these highlights, man,

1149
00:51:46.703 --> 00:51:48.105
when they were on the feet,

1150
00:51:48.105 --> 00:51:51.374
they were not afraid to
exchange a great one, two

1151
00:51:51.374 --> 00:51:53.777
from Ana Palacios
straight to the back.

1152
00:51:53.777 --> 00:51:57.747
She was confident in this
moment just jumping to the back.

1153
00:51:57.747 --> 00:51:59.883
And we've seen that quite
a few times tonight.

1154
00:51:59.883 --> 00:52:02.919
The confidence to just
really execute immediately

1155
00:52:02.919 --> 00:52:07.424
get under the chin and finish
a classic rear naked choke

1156
00:52:07.424 --> 00:52:10.060
for the Bone Breaker
representative.

1157
00:52:10.060 --> 00:52:12.262
A proud moment for La Herrera.

1158
00:52:12.262 --> 00:52:14.898
- [Rodolfo] Campbell,
you were inside La Jaula,

1159
00:52:14.898 --> 00:52:18.268
and when you're there that
means you gave it thumbs up,

1160
00:52:20.737 --> 00:52:22.739
for you did and do
you get an exchange.

1161
00:52:23.940 --> 00:52:26.009
Great, amazing stuff
there from La Herrera.

1162
00:52:27.444 --> 00:52:30.914
And proves now to eight wins,
three defeats and one draw

1163
00:52:30.914 --> 00:52:35.385
as we take a look at
our stats for this bout.

1164
00:52:35.385 --> 00:52:38.855
Great amazing stuff
for Ana Palacios

1165
00:52:38.855 --> 00:52:41.157
who is now in the win column

1166
00:52:42.259 --> 00:52:44.027
and is ready for
action very, very soon

1167
00:52:44.027 --> 00:52:45.428
'cause you didn't
take too much damage

1168
00:52:45.428 --> 00:52:46.630
to say the least guys.

1169
00:52:46.630 --> 00:52:48.164
- [Alex] Yeah, she
should definitely

1170
00:52:48.164 --> 00:52:50.066
be feeling pretty
proud right now.

1171
00:52:50.066 --> 00:52:54.471
A beautiful, beautiful
submission with 20 seconds left

1172
00:52:54.471 --> 00:52:58.041
and it was immediately that
Melissa Gomez tapped up.

1173
00:52:58.041 --> 00:52:58.942
- [Rodolfo] So we'll go back now

1174
00:52:58.942 --> 00:53:02.345
to a fight filmed earlier today

1175
00:53:02.345 --> 00:53:05.949

taking a debut Zubieta.

00:54:59.763 --> 00:55:04.634
and Mariah Castro making a
return to Combate Global.

1207
00:55:06.136 --> 00:55:07.404
- [Alex] And Ailed's first time

1208
00:55:07.404 --> 00:55:10.340
fighting out of her
country of Mexico.

1209
00:55:10.340 --> 00:55:12.776
It's must be pretty
cool to visit Miami

1210
00:55:12.776 --> 00:55:17.180
and also get a payday in
fighting after also getting

1211
00:55:17.180 --> 00:55:19.949
a wonderful flying arm bar
submission in her last fight.

1212
00:55:19.949 --> 00:55:21.351
She's looking to get the finish.

1213
00:55:21.351 --> 00:55:22.385
- [Rodolfo] There's
something fighting

1214
00:55:22.385 --> 00:55:23.920
outside of your territory

1215
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:25.522
that you've competed
so many times.

1216
00:55:25.522 --> 00:55:27.624
You know, the nerves,
the whole flying.

1217
00:55:27.624 --> 00:55:29.859
I mean it's an
exciting moment for you

1218
00:55:29.859 --> 00:55:32.962
and for Zubieta making
that opportunity.

1219
00:55:32.962 --> 00:55:34.564
And this being the largest stage

1220
00:55:34.564 --> 00:55:36.099
that she's competed on.

1221
00:55:36.099 --> 00:55:37.634
Everything's on the board here

1222
00:55:37.634 --> 00:55:40.737
and she needs to bring it to
show what she's all about.

1223
00:55:40.737 --> 00:55:42.072
- [Alex] Against Mariah Castro,

1224
00:55:42.072 --> 00:55:44.507
who is no stranger to
the Combate Global cage.

1225
00:55:44.507 --> 00:55:48.745
She's made the trip here from
the northeast twice before

1226
00:55:48.745 --> 00:55:51.715
and her most recent outing
was against Yanet Garcia,

1227
00:55:51.715 --> 00:55:53.917
who's a Moitai specialist.

1228
00:55:53.917 --> 00:55:57.153
And she wasn't able to showcase
a lot of her wrestling here.

1229
00:55:57.153 --> 00:56:00.056
But I know something that Mariah
was working on in the time

1230
00:56:00.056 --> 00:56:03.626
from May 28th and 2022
to now was her striking

1231
00:56:03.626 --> 00:56:05.628
and how she can
incorporate her striking

1232
00:56:05.628 --> 00:56:07.364
into her wrestling game.

1233
00:56:07.364 --> 00:56:10.667
- [Rodolfo] Landing
in both martial arts

1234
00:56:10.667 --> 00:56:15.238
with the wrestling and
the striking that is key.

1235
00:56:15.238 --> 00:56:17.273
And the wrestling has
been very effective

1236
00:56:17.273 --> 00:56:19.075
when she took on Lupe Mateo,

1237
00:56:19.075 --> 00:56:22.579
that's exactly what
got her that victory.

1238
00:56:22.579 --> 00:56:24.614
In fact, those were like
a last minute take down

1239
00:56:24.614 --> 00:56:27.717
in that third round to
solidify the victory

1240
00:56:27.717 --> 00:56:32.222
for Mariah Castro who
trains out of Carisella MMA,

1241
00:56:33.590 --> 00:56:36.960
also trains out there
with Manly Schlesinger

1242
00:56:36.960 --> 00:56:39.829
who also has competed
in Combate Global.

1243
00:56:39.829 --> 00:56:42.532
- [Alex] And also has
a fight against Mariah

1244
00:56:42.532 --> 00:56:43.867
in the amateur league.

1245
00:56:43.867 --> 00:56:44.868
- [Rodolfo] Isn't that crazy?

1246
00:56:44.868 --> 00:56:45.802
- [Alex] That must be awesome

1247
00:56:45.802 --> 00:56:47.003
to be able to train with someone

1248
00:56:47.003 --> 00:56:48.872
who you've gone to
absolute war with

1249
00:56:48.872 --> 00:56:51.040
because now you have a
training partner for life

1250
00:56:51.040 --> 00:56:53.343
who is gonna try to
exploit the holes

1251
00:56:53.343 --> 00:56:55.111
and make you see
things in your game

1252
00:56:55.111 --> 00:56:56.713
that you might not
have seen yourself.

1253
00:56:56.713 --> 00:56:59.883
As we get into a little bit
of a firefight between these,

1254
00:56:59.883 --> 00:57:01.718
Zubieta and Castro.

1255
00:57:01.718 --> 00:57:03.186
- [Rodolfo] You know
that's always cool

1256
00:57:03.186 --> 00:57:05.622
when you do compete against
someone and you meet them

1257
00:57:05.622 --> 00:57:07.624
and they invite you
to your gym, Alex.

1258
00:57:07.624 --> 00:57:09.225
It's a really cool experience

1259
00:57:09.225 --> 00:57:10.493
and it shows the respect

1260
00:57:10.493 --> 00:57:12.562
that you're able to
help each other out.

1261
00:57:13.663 --> 00:57:15.265
- And off that single leg.

1262
00:57:15.265 --> 00:57:17.066
It was a single leg

1263
00:57:17.066 --> 00:57:19.936
that Zubieta was able to
get a flying arm bar on

1264
00:57:19.936 --> 00:57:21.471
and you can see her
isolate the arm.

1265
00:57:21.471 --> 00:57:22.572
- Oh make good

1266
00:57:22.572 --> 00:57:23.740
for the triangle.
- Trying to get

1267
00:57:23.740 --> 00:57:24.707
a triangle choke here.

1268
00:57:24.707 --> 00:57:26.509
She has the shoulder really in.

1269
00:57:26.509 --> 00:57:28.578
Ooh this could be close here.

1270
00:57:28.578 --> 00:57:29.813
She's looking to tie it in,

1271
00:57:29.813 --> 00:57:31.347
and Mariah Castro
has to be careful

1272
00:57:31.347 --> 00:57:32.782
of that arm right here.

1273
00:57:32.782 --> 00:57:34.117
- [Rodolfo] Getting
outta this position.

1274
00:57:34.117 --> 00:57:35.852
She has a quite tight.

1275
00:57:35.852 --> 00:57:38.588
Alex, what does she need to do?

1276
00:57:38.588 --> 00:57:39.956
- [Alex] In order
to get out of this,

1277
00:57:39.956 --> 00:57:43.293
she needs to get her
right shoulder more inside

1278
00:57:43.293 --> 00:57:46.196
of that triangle so she can
give herself some breathing room

1279
00:57:46.196 --> 00:57:48.998
while also not
giving up that arm

1280
00:57:48.998 --> 00:57:51.868
because Zubieta
has it on her hip.

1281
00:57:51.868 --> 00:57:54.137
So if she wants to get
that torque right here.

1282
00:57:54.137 --> 00:57:56.573
Ooh will she be
able to get escape?

1283
00:57:56.573 --> 00:57:58.908
Mariah Castro gets outta that

1284
00:57:58.908 --> 00:58:01.311
against a jiu jitsu brown belt.

1285
00:58:01.311 --> 00:58:02.679
That is some
impressive stuff there.

1286
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:04.781
And we're gonna see
some heavy top pressure

1287
00:58:04.781 --> 00:58:06.282
from Mariah Castro

1288
00:58:06.282 --> 00:58:07.951
who should feel pretty
comfortable in this position.

1289
00:58:07.951 --> 00:58:11.321
- [Rodolfo] Yeah, Zubieta
eats, sleeps, eat MMA

1290
00:58:11.321 --> 00:58:14.657
or martial arts is her
and her husband run a gym.

1291
00:58:14.657 --> 00:58:16.593
She's the head trainer there

1292
00:58:16.593 --> 00:58:18.428
for the children's
jiu jitsu class.

1293
00:58:18.428 --> 00:58:19.362
- [Alex] Such goals.

1294
00:58:19.362 --> 00:58:20.663
- [Rodolfo] Isn't that cool?

1295
00:58:20.663 --> 00:58:22.665
And then Tito or Tito
Castro is her husband

1296
00:58:22.665 --> 00:58:26.469
is her head coach and he is in
the house of course tonight.

1297
00:58:26.469 --> 00:58:29.906
- [Alex] Yes, being able to
travel with your partner,

1298
00:58:29.906 --> 00:58:33.176
you know, try to
get the win here.

1299
00:58:33.176 --> 00:58:34.911
She's in a little bit
of a tough position

1300
00:58:34.911 --> 00:58:37.614
but able to get to her knees,

1301
00:58:37.614 --> 00:58:39.816
and then work for a single
leg into the back jump floor.

1302
00:58:39.816 --> 00:58:41.217
- [Rodolfo] Wrapping
her up butt.

1303
00:58:41.217 --> 00:58:44.521
- [Alex] Mary Ana Palacios
just jumping for that.

1304
00:58:44.521 --> 00:58:46.723
We've had three
finishes tonight.

1305
00:58:46.723 --> 00:58:48.258
Will we see another one

1306
00:58:48.258 --> 00:58:51.828
in this amazing all women's
fight card on Fuse TV.

1307
00:58:51.828 --> 00:58:54.297
- [Rodolfo] Rear naked
jokes have been the choice

1308
00:58:54.297 --> 00:58:56.900
for tonight as we
had two victories

1309
00:58:56.900 --> 00:58:58.434
by way of rear naked jokes.

1310
00:59:00.103 --> 00:59:03.106
Could it be a third one tonight?

1311
00:59:03.106 --> 00:59:05.041
And it's all women's fight card.

1312
00:59:06.876 --> 00:59:09.512
- [Alex] And now for some
of the jiu jitsu casuals

1313
00:59:09.512 --> 00:59:13.182
Zubieta is trying to lock
in on a knee bar right here.

1314
00:59:13.182 --> 00:59:16.386
She's basically gonna
try to work her hips

1315
00:59:16.386 --> 00:59:20.323
on top of Mariah's knee to
try to get a hyper extension,

1316
00:59:20.323 --> 00:59:21.591
kind of like an arm bar.

1317
00:59:21.591 --> 00:59:23.026
But for the knee.
- For the leg.

1318
00:59:23.026 --> 00:59:24.027
- For the knee.
- Yeah, for the leg.

1319
00:59:24.027 --> 00:59:25.261
- [Rodolfo] Yeah.

1320
00:59:25.261 --> 00:59:26.462
- [Alex] Yeah, so
she's working that here

1321
00:59:26.462 --> 00:59:27.997
but she loses the knee line,

1322
00:59:27.997 --> 00:59:29.132
which is the crucial part

1323
00:59:29.132 --> 00:59:30.867
of pulling off a
submission like that.

1324
00:59:30.867 --> 00:59:33.269
- [Rodolfo] And
to clinch Mariah,

1325
00:59:33.269 --> 00:59:36.072
great head positioning there
today would land some knee,

1326
00:59:36.072 --> 00:59:39.309
some shots, maybe change the
levels and break her down.

1327
00:59:39.309 --> 00:59:41.544
And yes she does.
- Wonderful work.

1328
00:59:41.544 --> 00:59:44.747
- [Rodolfo] Straight
take down for Castro.

1329
00:59:44.747 --> 00:59:46.182
- [Alex] Look straight
into the guard

1330
00:59:46.182 --> 00:59:49.152
of someone who is very
dangerous off their back

1331
00:59:49.152 --> 00:59:53.590
and she's always hunting for
those arm bars or a triangle

1332
00:59:53.590 --> 00:59:56.059
and she has very,
very flexible head.

1333
00:59:56.059 --> 00:59:58.895
So when she's in
these positions, she's
very comfortable.

1334
00:59:58.895 --> 01:00:02.065
- [Rodolfo] Castro though, very
good at positioning her body

1335
01:00:03.232 --> 01:00:06.202
and posturing and
protecting those hands.

1336
01:00:07.103 --> 01:00:09.105
So that be fee for a submission.

1337
01:00:09.105 --> 01:00:10.974
(audience applauds and cheers)
(upbeat music)

1338
01:00:10.974 --> 01:00:12.909
Good stuff for the
young lady Castro

1339
01:00:14.711 --> 01:00:17.513
or to the United
States Central Jersey.

1340
01:00:17.513 --> 01:00:18.748
- [Alex] It'll be
pretty interesting

1341
01:00:18.748 --> 01:00:21.317
to see which way the
judges get the nod.

1342
01:00:21.317 --> 01:00:24.053
Here at Combate Global
we have that open scoring

1343
01:00:24.053 --> 01:00:26.222
so we don't have to
wonder for too long.

1344
01:00:26.222 --> 01:00:28.157
But Rodolfo, which
way did you have it?

1345
01:00:28.157 --> 01:00:30.626
- [Rodolfo] Well, the takedowns
here make the difference.

1346
01:00:30.626 --> 01:00:31.761
But the fact that Zubieta

1347
01:00:31.761 --> 01:00:35.798
was continuously
offensively underground,

1348
01:00:35.798 --> 01:00:38.835
don't know how much that plays
a role in the judge's eyes.

1349
01:00:38.835 --> 01:00:41.070
But Alex break it down for us.

1350
01:00:41.070 --> 01:00:42.739
- [Alex] Yeah, we're gonna
see some great exchanges

1351
01:00:42.739 --> 01:00:44.107
on the feed.

1352
01:00:44.107 --> 01:00:46.743
Went from a single leg
and took down Zubieta,

1353
01:00:46.743 --> 01:00:48.811
and now she's laying down
some ground and pound.

1354
01:00:48.811 --> 01:00:51.414
Zubieta knew that
she had to get out,

1355
01:00:51.414 --> 01:00:53.149
immediately moves to the back,

1356
01:00:53.149 --> 01:00:54.550
she slips off the back though

1357
01:00:54.550 --> 01:00:57.987
and then gets back into
the guard position.

1358
01:00:57.987 --> 01:01:00.356
But you saw the sense of urgency

1359
01:01:00.356 --> 01:01:01.991
that she was hunted
for those submissions.

1360
01:01:01.991 --> 01:01:05.161
And I know that's not gonna
stop here in the second round.

1361
01:01:05.161 --> 01:01:08.431
- [Rodolfo] Second
chapter of this bout.

1362
01:01:08.431 --> 01:01:11.834
Zubieta out of Mexico taking
on the American Castro.

1363
01:01:13.936 --> 01:01:16.706
- [Alex] Both these
ladies 28 years old.

1364
01:01:16.706 --> 01:01:18.574
But I thought an
interesting story, Rodolfo,

1365
01:01:18.574 --> 01:01:22.745
was that Zubieta wasn't allowed
to play sports growing up,

1366
01:01:22.745 --> 01:01:25.348
and once she turned 18 she's
like, "I wanna try something."

1367
01:01:25.348 --> 01:01:26.949
And what does she start doing?

1368
01:01:26.949 --> 01:01:29.318
Moitai, one of the
most dangerous things
that you can do.

1369
01:01:29.318 --> 01:01:31.821
But she's showcasing
that skill now 10 years

1370
01:01:31.821 --> 01:01:35.625
in professionally fighting
and with the open scoring.

1371
01:01:35.625 --> 01:01:36.893
- [Rodolfo] Open scoring.

1372
01:01:36.893 --> 01:01:40.029
All judges giving it to
Castro and has to be,

1373
01:01:40.029 --> 01:01:42.465
we would assume because
those take downs.

1374
01:01:42.465 --> 01:01:45.501
But you and I were saying
the whole jiu jitsu game

1375
01:01:45.501 --> 01:01:48.905
that Zubieta had, but they
didn't take that into account.

1376
01:01:48.905 --> 01:01:50.907
- [Alex] Yeah, sometimes
the nuances of jiu jitsu

1377
01:01:50.907 --> 01:01:54.911
can go under the rug.

1378
01:01:54.911 --> 01:01:57.947
Especially if there isn't
like a grimacing of the face

1379
01:01:57.947 --> 01:02:01.284
or really close choke hold.

1380
01:02:01.284 --> 01:02:03.619
'Cause who knows, maybe
the judges didn't process

1381
01:02:03.619 --> 01:02:06.756
that knee bar as like a
serious submission attempt.

1382
01:02:06.756 --> 01:02:07.957
But we're looking
- There was a triangle

1383
01:02:07.957 --> 01:02:08.891
attempt as well.

1384
01:02:08.891 --> 01:02:10.193
They had to be locked in too.

1385
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:12.829
- [Rodolfo] But when
you're on your back

1386
01:02:12.829 --> 01:02:14.263
and you're getting ground
impounded for the most part,

1387
01:02:14.263 --> 01:02:17.600
sometimes those attacks
don't look super significant.

1388
01:02:17.600 --> 01:02:19.669
But I do love the
swag that Mariah

1389
01:02:19.669 --> 01:02:21.070
Castro's having right now.
- Yeah, see that trying

1390
01:02:21.070 --> 01:02:22.538
to switch the legs
and the kicks.

1391
01:02:22.538 --> 01:02:23.973
- She's having
some fun out there.

1392
01:02:23.973 --> 01:02:25.708
- Yeah, that's the confidence,
the showing from Castro,

1393
01:02:25.708 --> 01:02:27.744
throwing in those
bombs, those hands,

1394
01:02:27.744 --> 01:02:31.114
the confidence in her fist.

1395
01:02:31.114 --> 01:02:32.582
- [Alex] I love the
confidence that she had

1396
01:02:32.582 --> 01:02:34.751
'cause she has talked about

1397
01:02:34.751 --> 01:02:36.319
when she lost some confidence

1398
01:02:36.319 --> 01:02:38.654
losing three in
her amateur career

1399
01:02:38.654 --> 01:02:40.389
and now she's at
a different point.

1400
01:02:40.389 --> 01:02:42.859
She's ready to let it fly.

1401
01:02:42.859 --> 01:02:44.961
But still be
calculated in there.

1402
01:02:44.961 --> 01:02:49.332
- [Rodolfo] Trading blows,
not afraid to counter.

1403
01:02:49.332 --> 01:02:51.634
It's in a great exchange
between these two women.

1404
01:02:51.634 --> 01:02:54.470
And I gotta tell you, this
is an all woman fight card,

1405
01:02:54.470 --> 01:02:56.472
a great takedown by Castro.

1406
01:02:56.472 --> 01:03:00.143
All these fights have just
been absolutely incredible.

1407
01:03:00.143 --> 01:03:03.146

'cause they have been
just absolutely amazing.

1412
01:03:13.055 --> 01:03:14.257
- [Alex] Can you
even tweet anymore?

1413
01:03:14.257 --> 01:03:15.258
Do you X it?

1414
01:03:15.258 --> 01:03:16.459
Is it X t?
- X it, tweet.

1415
01:03:16.459 --> 01:03:17.627
- But you know
what's more important

1416
01:03:17.627 --> 01:03:18.828
than Twitter?
- TikTok.

1417
01:03:18.828 --> 01:03:20.029
- Whatever is.
- Let's get the TikTok

1418
01:03:20.029 --> 01:03:21.430
because on TikTok

1419
01:03:21.430 --> 01:03:24.400
we will have all these
highlights come into ya hot.

1420
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.470
And we've had such a crazy
night of fights tonight.

1421
01:03:27.470 --> 01:03:29.572
I don't know which fight's
gonna go most viral.

1422
01:03:29.572 --> 01:03:32.308
I have a feeling Regina
Tarin will go viral.

1423
01:03:32.308 --> 01:03:33.543
But this grounding pound

1424
01:03:33.543 --> 01:03:35.778
could go viral for
Mariah Castro as well.

1425
01:03:35.778 --> 01:03:39.348
- [Rodolfo] Vicious
shots from Castro

1426
01:03:40.550 --> 01:03:44.253
to Zubieta shutting
down her ground game.

1427
01:03:44.253 --> 01:03:46.355
- [Alex] Yes, in a way
that she's shutting down

1428
01:03:46.355 --> 01:03:49.592
that ground game is by
keeping Zubieta's back

1429
01:03:49.592 --> 01:03:51.160
and shoulders pinned
to the ground.

1430
01:03:51.160 --> 01:03:52.361
- [Rodolfo] But she needs
to be careful though

1431
01:03:52.361 --> 01:03:53.196
with that arm.

1432
01:03:53.196 --> 01:03:54.397
Can't leave it open

1433
01:03:54.397 --> 01:03:55.665
- [Alex] 100%.

1434
01:03:55.665 --> 01:03:58.000
You'll see Zubieta
try to create an angle

1435
01:03:58.000 --> 01:03:59.535
because those are the
only opportunities

1436
01:03:59.535 --> 01:04:01.404
she'll have offensively.

1437
01:04:01.404 --> 01:04:02.939
But now she's getting
her half guard back

1438
01:04:02.939 --> 01:04:05.675
and she's gonna look to
switch her hips off here.

1439
01:04:05.675 --> 01:04:07.343
Get into this dog fight position

1440
01:04:07.343 --> 01:04:09.378
where you're both on
each other's knees.

1441
01:04:10.746 --> 01:04:12.014
- [Rodolfo] Positioning,
maybe like guillotine approach

1442
01:04:12.014 --> 01:04:17.019
or straight knee, right
back to the clinch

1443
01:04:18.821 --> 01:04:22.058
for Zubieta who for the
most part the advantage

1444
01:04:22.058 --> 01:04:26.095
has gone to Castro and
the clinch exchange.

1445
01:04:26.095 --> 01:04:27.396
- We'll see what she do

1446
01:04:27.396 --> 01:04:28.464
with those.
- And the turnaround

1447
01:04:28.464 --> 01:04:30.032
right back to the
- Beautiful.

1448
01:04:30.032 --> 01:04:32.368
Well, Zubieta fighting
for the guard position.

1449
01:04:33.703 --> 01:04:35.972
- [Alex] And right now she
has a half butterfly hook.

1450
01:04:35.972 --> 01:04:38.107
Now back to regular guard.
- There we go.

1451
01:04:39.675 --> 01:04:41.344
- [Rodolfo] Castro though
looking really good,

1452
01:04:41.344 --> 01:04:43.946
very confident in
this second round.

1453
01:04:45.147 --> 01:04:47.083
In that first round
already going to her

1454
01:04:48.417 --> 01:04:52.154
should be the second
victory inside La Jaula.

1455
01:04:52.154 --> 01:04:53.656
Could she gotta finish?

1456
01:04:53.656 --> 01:04:54.991
I want to go the distance.

1457
01:04:54.991 --> 01:04:56.859
- [Alex] And when we're
looking at this position

1458
01:04:56.859 --> 01:04:59.028
for the jiu jitsu casuals,

1459
01:04:59.028 --> 01:05:00.896
it might look like Zubieta

1460
01:05:00.896 --> 01:05:02.932
is just getting grounded
and pounded out.

1461
01:05:02.932 --> 01:05:05.401
But she actually
likes to be in regard.

1462
01:05:05.401 --> 01:05:06.936
This probably isn't
the optimal position

1463
01:05:06.936 --> 01:05:09.305
for MMA if it was
strictly jiu jitsu.

1464
01:05:09.305 --> 01:05:11.140
Having someone between your legs

1465
01:05:11.140 --> 01:05:13.542
and having their
posture broken down

1466
01:05:13.542 --> 01:05:15.378
by keeping your feet
together like that

1467
01:05:15.378 --> 01:05:17.179
is actually advantageous.

1468
01:05:17.179 --> 01:05:19.348
But here she's gonna try
to work off the cage.

1469
01:05:19.348 --> 01:05:22.785
She's gonna have to keep her
toes out of the cage though.

1470
01:05:24.387 --> 01:05:26.255
But here she's again hunting

1471
01:05:26.255 --> 01:05:29.659
for any type of arm triangle
opportunity that she can get.

1472
01:05:29.659 --> 01:05:31.761
And Mariah just
being relentless.

1473
01:05:31.761 --> 01:05:34.563
- [Rodolfo] Oh look at
that arm right there.

1474
01:05:34.563 --> 01:05:39.602
Left wide open Zubieta
keeping on tin,

1475
01:05:40.870 --> 01:05:42.238
but that she doesn't
have anything right here.

1476
01:05:42.238 --> 01:05:43.839
- [Alex] And this is
where it gets frustrating

1477
01:05:43.839 --> 01:05:46.909
with the gloves 'cause you're
not supposed to hold onto it.

1478
01:05:46.909 --> 01:05:48.511
And I'm not saying Zubieta is,

1479
01:05:48.511 --> 01:05:50.146
but it's not as easy
Gianogi jiu jitsu

1480
01:05:50.146 --> 01:05:53.115
to just slip and slide out
of those arm bar attacks.

1481
01:05:53.115 --> 01:05:54.350
- [Rodolfo] Yeah,
it's a lot different.

1482
01:05:54.350 --> 01:05:55.418
Especially now when
you're in a second round

1483
01:05:55.418 --> 01:05:57.520
of about sweat comes into play.

1484
01:05:57.520 --> 01:05:59.922
Grip's not in there anymore.

1485
01:05:59.922 --> 01:06:01.624
- [Alex] Beautiful,
beautiful head positioning

1486
01:06:01.624 --> 01:06:02.892
by Mariah Castro.

1487
01:06:02.892 --> 01:06:07.196
She is really utilizing
every ounce of her body

1488
01:06:08.564 --> 01:06:12.301
and really trying to come
off strong off the break,

1489
01:06:12.301 --> 01:06:13.469
letting it fly.

1490
01:06:13.469 --> 01:06:14.804
- [Rodolfo] An exchange
when they heard

1491
01:06:14.804 --> 01:06:17.506
that ten second count.

1492
01:06:17.506 --> 01:06:19.775
(audience applauds and cheers)
(dramatic music)

1493
01:06:19.775 --> 01:06:22.778
These ladies bringing it tonight

1494
01:06:24.146 --> 01:06:27.883
here on Fuse Combate Global
all women fight card.

1495
01:06:30.853 --> 01:06:35.224
Ailed Zubeita getting those
final words from her corner.

1496
01:06:35.224 --> 01:06:38.861
Now Alex, if you're in that
corner, what would you tell her?

1497
01:06:38.861 --> 01:06:41.464
She's desperately looking
for a submission win

1498
01:06:41.464 --> 01:06:43.099
to take it away
with this breakdown

1499
01:06:43.099 --> 01:06:45.334
of that second
chapter of this bout.

1500
01:06:45.334 --> 01:06:47.536
- [Alex] Yeah, she's definitely
hunting for that submission,

1501
01:06:47.536 --> 01:06:50.673
but hopefully she can
get into a position

1502
01:06:50.673 --> 01:06:54.910
that's not on her back because
she hasn't had so much luck

1503
01:06:54.910 --> 01:06:56.812
getting a submission from there.

1504
01:06:56.812 --> 01:06:58.781
But who knows if
maybe if she works in

1505
01:06:58.781 --> 01:07:01.016
and is on top, she can hunt
for a submission from there.

1506
01:07:01.016 --> 01:07:03.519
But right now the judges
are not gonna give her

1507
01:07:03.519 --> 01:07:07.189
that nod if she keeps
getting stuck on her back

1508
01:07:07.189 --> 01:07:09.592
with Mariah laying down
the grounding paddle.

1509
01:07:12.294 --> 01:07:14.230
- [Rodolfo] It's for Zubieta.

1510
01:07:14.230 --> 01:07:16.665
- [Alex] Her corner
just warned her,

1511
01:07:17.666 --> 01:07:19.001
you know all she's got right now

1512
01:07:19.001 --> 01:07:20.336
is the triangle in the arm bars.

1513
01:07:20.336 --> 01:07:21.670
You got this.

1514
01:07:21.670 --> 01:07:23.472
So Mariah Castro must
be feeling pretty good.

1515
01:07:23.472 --> 01:07:25.408
- [Rodolfo] Where
she gets five minutes

1516
01:07:26.375 --> 01:07:28.477
to carry on those
positive vibes.

1517
01:07:30.413 --> 01:07:32.348
I'm sure she wants a finish.

1518
01:07:32.348 --> 01:07:34.984
She'll push the
accelerator button there.

1519
01:07:36.619 --> 01:07:40.356
Master footing now I lead,
put it right into the clinch

1520
01:07:41.457 --> 01:07:42.958
as we await those open scoring.

1521
01:07:42.958 --> 01:07:45.628
Again Combate Global
does have open scoring

1522
01:07:45.628 --> 01:07:49.298
so we let you know who's
winning, why the fight.

1523
01:07:49.298 --> 01:07:53.135
And speaking of the devil,
there it is Mariah Castro

1524
01:07:53.135 --> 01:07:55.504
with the advantage
of those two rounds.

1525
01:07:57.940 --> 01:07:59.542
- [Alex] And we've seen
Mariah have success

1526
01:07:59.542 --> 01:08:00.543
with the double underhooks.

1527
01:08:00.543 --> 01:08:01.911
But again, she changes levels

1528
01:08:01.911 --> 01:08:04.947
and is looking to get
another take down here.

1529
01:08:04.947 --> 01:08:06.515
- [Rodolfo] Very
easily taken down.

1530
01:08:06.515 --> 01:08:08.818
The sprawl is not
there for Ailed.

1531
01:08:08.818 --> 01:08:10.252
She just take it down.

1532
01:08:10.252 --> 01:08:11.787
Don't know if maybe that is,

1533
01:08:11.787 --> 01:08:13.589
hey take me down 'cause
I'm very confident

1534
01:08:13.589 --> 01:08:14.990
on my ground game.

1535
01:08:14.990 --> 01:08:17.092
But she's not
defending it whatsoever

1536
01:08:17.092 --> 01:08:18.360
because Castro's coming in

1537
01:08:18.360 --> 01:08:20.496
with those takedowns
work quite easily.

1538
01:08:20.496 --> 01:08:22.965
- [Alex] Yeah, great cage
work from Castro here.

1539
01:08:24.266 --> 01:08:27.636
See if she'll able to
capitalize on another takedown.

1540
01:08:28.871 --> 01:08:31.707
Wow, beautiful work.

1541
01:08:31.707 --> 01:08:32.908
Just everything from her trips,

1542
01:08:32.908 --> 01:08:34.677
her single legs,
her double legs.

1543
01:08:35.845 --> 01:08:37.680
She's really worked
on that wrestling,

1544
01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:39.682
which is definitely
her strongest asset.

1545
01:08:39.682 --> 01:08:41.951
But even at distance
she's been showing out.

1546
01:08:41.951 --> 01:08:44.753
- [Rodolfo] Beautifully
executed for Castro

1547
01:08:47.656 --> 01:08:51.460
who last competed in
La Jaula in May of 23.

1548
01:08:51.460 --> 01:08:53.629
So she's had a little
bit more than a year

1549
01:08:53.629 --> 01:08:56.966
to work on all those skills
that she needed to, Alex.

1550
01:08:58.267 --> 01:09:00.669
- [Alex] Yeah, and she's
been able to reflect

1551
01:09:00.669 --> 01:09:02.471
on that performance
with Annette Garcia,

1552
01:09:02.471 --> 01:09:05.508
who is a Moitai specialist.

1553
01:09:05.508 --> 01:09:06.942
And going up against Yanet,

1554
01:09:06.942 --> 01:09:08.511
she pieces a lot of people up.

1555
01:09:08.511 --> 01:09:11.747
So when you get three rounds
of experience with that,

1556
01:09:11.747 --> 01:09:14.950
a girl like that, it's gonna
be very aggressive stuff.

1557
01:09:14.950 --> 01:09:16.252
But again she's searching
- She's searching

1558
01:09:16.252 --> 01:09:18.621
for that arm bar again.
- For the arm nonstop.

1559
01:09:20.589 --> 01:09:24.226
- [Rodolfo] Lost it, good way
of Castro protecting the arm,

1560
01:09:24.226 --> 01:09:26.595
keeping that form really
close to her body.

1561
01:09:28.230 --> 01:09:29.732
Zubieta last fought in April,

1562
01:09:29.732 --> 01:09:31.267
as you mentioned with
that flying arm bar.

1563
01:09:31.267 --> 01:09:33.335
But she also took on
Stephanie Rodriguez

1564
01:09:33.335 --> 01:09:35.838
who competed here
in Combate Global.

1565
01:09:37.339 --> 01:09:38.274
Lost to her.

1566
01:09:41.243 --> 01:09:43.579
But so far what a
great fight card.

1567
01:09:43.579 --> 01:09:46.949
And we'll be back
June 22nd, Alex

1568
01:09:46.949 --> 01:09:50.119
with mucho mass
accion from La Jaula.

1569
01:09:51.921 --> 01:09:54.023
There's lots of Combate Global

1570
01:09:55.424 --> 01:10:00.062
for you to witness here in
on your TV screens on Fuse.

1571
01:10:01.430 --> 01:10:04.133
- [Alex] That'll be Claire
Lopez versus Kayla Rocco,

1572
01:10:04.133 --> 01:10:07.069
an awesome highly
profile Adam weight bout.

1573
01:10:07.069 --> 01:10:09.038
And we just saw a
crazy Adam weight fight

1574
01:10:09.038 --> 01:10:11.073
between Melissa Gomez
and Ana Palacios.

1575
01:10:11.073 --> 01:10:13.108
I'm sure both those
fighters will be watching

1576
01:10:13.108 --> 01:10:16.378
how Claire Lopez and
Kayla Rocco get down

1577
01:10:16.378 --> 01:10:18.380
and we could see some
matchmaking from them.

1578
01:10:18.380 --> 01:10:20.783
- [Rodolfo] It'll be
another bout of friends.

1579
01:10:20.783 --> 01:10:23.185
Between the United States
against the United States

1580
01:10:23.185 --> 01:10:27.790
as we saw earlier today with
Melissa taking on Samantha,

1581
01:10:27.790 --> 01:10:29.592
the American taking the victory.

1582
01:10:30.859 --> 01:10:32.695
What an impressive victory
for that young lady.

1583
01:10:32.695 --> 01:10:35.831
Seven and 0, Melissa
Amaya La Mamba.

1584
01:10:37.099 --> 01:10:38.467
- [Alex] And we're
in a similar scenario

1585
01:10:38.467 --> 01:10:41.270
to what we've seen all
fight Mariah Castro,

1586
01:10:41.270 --> 01:10:45.307
able to get Zubieta
to the ground,

1587
01:10:45.307 --> 01:10:47.042
lay down some ground and pound.

1588
01:10:49.244 --> 01:10:51.146
- [Rodolfo] Mariah
Castro, the wrestling here

1589
01:10:51.146 --> 01:10:53.115
has been key
positioning her body

1590
01:10:53.115 --> 01:10:54.950
using that weight effectively,

1591
01:10:54.950 --> 01:10:57.152
protecting all
her limbs tonight.

1592
01:10:57.152 --> 01:10:58.220
She can't be submitted.

1593
01:11:00.990 --> 01:11:02.625
Look at the way of that
positioning of the head

1594
01:11:02.625 --> 01:11:07.663
keeping Ailed right on
the ground on her back.

1595
01:11:12.268 --> 01:11:14.637
And there's one way you
know many people think about

1596
01:11:14.637 --> 01:11:16.372
is just taking down
for a wrestler.

1597
01:11:16.372 --> 01:11:18.540
But I think that's what
always a wrestler has, right?

1598
01:11:18.540 --> 01:11:21.110
To keep your opponent down
when you're pinning him, right?

1599
01:11:21.110 --> 01:11:23.545
That's what they teach
you just pin your opponent

1600
01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:26.482
and that's that wrestling
background for Castro.

1601
01:11:26.482 --> 01:11:29.618
And if you're able to
just defend anything.

1602
01:11:29.618 --> 01:11:31.220
You're good.

1603
01:11:31.220 --> 01:11:33.522
- [Alex] Yeah, and her corner
is definitely letting her know

1604
01:11:33.522 --> 01:11:35.024
that she's up two rounds.

1605
01:11:35.024 --> 01:11:37.693
At this point, all she has
to do is not get caught,

1606
01:11:37.693 --> 01:11:41.463
but with someone like a jiu
jitsu brown belt on their back

1607
01:11:41.463 --> 01:11:45.301
who is known for their arm bars,
you gotta be very cautious.

1608
01:11:45.301 --> 01:11:47.036
But she's playing
the right game here

1609
01:11:47.036 --> 01:11:49.238
and she's not just
holding out for the bell.

1610
01:11:49.238 --> 01:11:51.640
She's laying it down and
trying to get the finish.

1611
01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:53.375
But will she be able to?

1612
01:11:53.375 --> 01:11:57.913
So we go four for four on this
lady's night for finishes.

1613
01:11:57.913 --> 01:12:00.015
- [Alex] Yeah, Castro's not
definitely just sitting back

1614
01:12:00.015 --> 01:12:01.550
and enjoying a margarita.

1615
01:12:01.550 --> 01:12:02.484
Enjoying the sun though.

1616
01:12:02.484 --> 01:12:04.620
She wants to take this home

1617
01:12:04.620 --> 01:12:07.022
with a nice victory
and a stoppage.

1618
01:12:10.626 --> 01:12:12.328
Great stuff for Castro.

1619
01:12:16.398 --> 01:12:20.669
Could it be two wins
for her inside La Jaula,

1620
01:12:20.669 --> 01:12:22.271
but we're approaching
10 seconds.

1621
01:12:22.271 --> 01:12:25.908
She wants a victory
by way of stoppage.

1622
01:12:25.908 --> 01:12:27.509
She's putting everything.

1623
01:12:27.509 --> 01:12:31.280
Castro, did she get the victory?

1624
01:12:31.280 --> 01:12:32.948
- So high.
- We'll find out

1625
01:12:34.116 --> 01:12:35.751
after the break.

1626
01:12:35.751 --> 01:12:38.387
(audience applauds)
(upbeat music)

1627
01:12:40.856 --> 01:12:41.423
And we're gonna get
the official result.

1628
01:12:41.523 --> 01:12:43.625
Beatriz, who took this bout?

1629
01:12:45.294 --> 01:12:47.730
- After three rounds
of much more action,

1630
01:12:47.730 --> 01:12:49.665
this is the final decision.

1631
01:12:49.665 --> 01:12:54.136
(Beatriz speaking
in foreign language)

1632
01:13:01.577 --> 01:13:06.582
All three judges
turn in identical
scorecards of 30 to 27.

1633
01:13:07.416 --> 01:13:09.017
All in favor of the winner

1634
01:13:09.017 --> 01:13:11.386
by way of unanimous decisions

1635
01:13:11.386 --> 01:13:15.824
(Beatriz speaks in
foreign language)

1636
01:13:19.228 --> 01:13:20.429
Mariah Castro.

1637
01:13:21.764 --> 01:13:24.833
(audience applauds and cheers)

1638
01:13:24.833 --> 01:13:26.902
- [Rodolfo] The
emotions are rampant

1639
01:13:26.902 --> 01:13:30.539
as she holds old
glory in her hands.

1640
01:13:30.539 --> 01:13:34.910
A victory for Mariah Castro
improves to two in one

1641
01:13:34.910 --> 01:13:37.179
over the Mexican Ailed Zubieta.

1642
01:13:38.814 --> 01:13:41.083
- [Alex] I love that for
Mariah, well deserved.

1643
01:13:41.083 --> 01:13:44.887
Coming back after almost a
little over a year from fighting

1644
01:13:44.887 --> 01:13:48.657
and getting it done in
such awesome fashion.

1645
01:13:48.657 --> 01:13:50.092
She's gotta be very
proud of herself

1646
01:13:50.092 --> 01:13:51.593
and is gonna have
some great highlights

1647
01:13:51.593 --> 01:13:53.695
to take back to
her to New Jersey.

1648
01:13:53.695 --> 01:13:56.098
- [Rodolfo] I'm sure she'll
be putting it up on her reels.

1649
01:13:56.098 --> 01:13:57.566
Great work that one
year she took advantage

1650
01:13:57.566 --> 01:14:00.702
to improve on the
areas she needed to.

1651
01:14:00.702 --> 01:14:03.672
We saw it here tonight,
especially with those hands.

1652
01:14:03.672 --> 01:14:07.776
Mixing it up with the
wrestling gives her that W.

1653
01:14:07.776 --> 01:14:10.379
El Jefe Campbell
McLaren inside La Jaula.

1654
01:14:10.379 --> 01:14:11.847
That means he liked it.

1655
01:14:11.847 --> 01:14:13.448
What a phenomenal fight card.

1656
01:14:13.448 --> 01:14:18.020
All women competed inside
La Jaula the prospect,

1657
01:14:18.020 --> 01:14:20.856
19-year-old Regina Tarin
taking the victory.

1658
01:14:20.856 --> 01:14:23.659
Melissa Amaya
remains undefeated.

1659
01:14:23.659 --> 01:14:28.030
Seven and 0 over the experience,
Samantha Jean-Francois.

1660
01:14:28.030 --> 01:14:31.533
For Alex Wedling, and Campbell
McLaren, Rodolfo Roman.

1661
01:14:31.533 --> 01:14:32.668
Have a great night.

1662
01:14:32.668 --> 01:14:35.270
(upbeat music)
