Kenya Enriquez Headlines COMBATE GLOBAL March 12 Event Live from Burbank on EstrellaTVCOMBATE GLOBAL Announces Kenya “Mexican Queen” Enriquez to Headline March 12 Event in Burbank
BURBANK, CALIF. – COMBATE GLOBAL has officially announced that three-time world boxing champion and undefeated MMA fighter Kenya Enriquez (28-1, 11 KO boxing; 2-0 MMA) will headline its second event of the year, which will take place on Thursday, March 12, live from the EstrellaTV studios in Burbank, California.
The event will be broadcast live and free in the United States in Spanish on EstrellaTV and Samsung TV Plus at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT. Fans around the world can also stream the action for free and live in English on “FIGHTTIPS,” the YouTube channel of renowned MMA content creator Shane Fazen. Additionally, the card will be broadcast live in Mexico via Samsung TV Plus.
Enriquez appears in MMA for the third time
The 31-year-old Enriquez, who fights out of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, will face CaySea McBride (0-3) in the strawweight (115-pound) main event at La Jaula – the COMBATE GLOBAL cage.
Enriquez continues his transition from elite level boxing to mixed martial arts under the tutelage of veteran fighter and trainer Carlos “Goku” Arana at Delta Martial Arts in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
“Boxing used to be the king of combat sports. Today, MMA has changed the script and is now on top. COMBATE royally welcomes boxing champion Kenya Enriquez, the queen of the squared circle, to La Jaula,” said Campbell McLaren, CEO of COMBATE GLOBAL.
A decorated boxing champion enters La Jaula
Since turning professional in 2014, Enriquez has built an impressive boxing resume. During her 13-year career, she won the World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight world championship and won two separate World Boxing Council (WBC) interim world titles.
Currently undefeated in MMA at 2-0, Enriquez looks to further establish himself as one of the most successful crossover fighters in combat sports.
He joins a notable list of talented boxers who have competed under the COMBATE GLOBAL banner. In 2018–2019, the promotion hosted multiple world champion Amanda Serrano twice. Additionally, undefeated boxer and Lucha Libre star Dulce Garcia – commonly known as “Sexy Star” – fought for the promotion three times between 2019 and 2021.
McBride is looking for breakthrough performance
Opposite Enriquez will be 32-year-old CaySea McBride, representing Portland, Oregon. McBride also trains in Spokane, Washington in Sik Jitsu under head coach Rick Little along with undefeated teammates Melissa “Mamba” Amaya and Juliana Miller.
A lifelong martial artist, McBride began training in Tae Kwon Do at the age of six and currently holds a black belt in Japanese Ju-Jitsu. She will want to secure her first professional victory over one of the most successful martial arts champions.
The rest of the fight card scheduled for March 12 will be announced next week.
Alex
Pereira believes aggression could be decisive in a potential
fight between Paulo Costa
and Magomed
Ankalaev.
With
Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight champion
Carlos
Ulberg sidelined by injury, Costa and Ankalaev are seeking a
title opportunity. Pereira believes his fellow Brazilian can defeat
Ankalaev by applying pressure.
Alex Pereira says Paulo Costa must impose his pace to defeat
Magomed Ankalaev
“Poatan†said Costa must impose his pace to beat Ankalaev. He
expects a more evenly matched contest if Costa hesitates.
“I think ‘Borrachinha' [wins],†Pereira told Laerte Viana. “He's
more aggressive. I think ‘Borrachinha' would do better. If he stays
there like will he or won't he [hesitant], then it will be a fairly
even fight. You don't know who takes it. But if he imposes his
game, his rhythm, I think he takes it.â€
Costa (16-4) and Ankalaev (21-2-1, 1 NC) have exchanged criticism
on social media, with Ankalaev accusing the Brazilian of declining
multiple offers to fight him. Costa has also publicly disputed the
UFC's proposed terms for his next bout, saying he wants to complete
the one fight remaining on his contract.
Dana White puts no stock in Alex Pereira's complaints against Daniel Cormier.
“Of course that's not true,†White said. “These guys are the most paranoid people on the planet. Like we're telling DC — I've never told DC to do anything, ever. It doesn't work like that. We don't operate like that.â€
Pereira's complaint seems primarily to stem from his personal animosity with Gane. “Poatan†lost his fight with Gane for the interim heavyweight title at UFC White House, and has since lobbied for a rematch, citing illegal blows from Gane as the reason for his loss. Pereira has had some issues with the UFC before, but this one seems to run a bit deeper for the former two-division champion. It also comes at the same time as UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland has been airing his grievances about the promotion. But for White, this is simply a normal part of fight promotion.
“I don't know. We have over 700 guys on contract, and we've talked about two of them being sideways right now,†White said. “This is normal when you're in this business. As you guys know — first of all, I've never told Rogan or DC or any of these guys to say anything about anybody. And one of the things, as a longtime fan of the fight business, I actually can't stand the commentators saying negative things about fighters or anything like that.
“But I don't tell anybody what to say. I don't tell the fighters what to say, I don't tell the commentators what to say. This thing all just plays out organically in the way that the fights are called, and whatever they say when they walk out here and they interview with you guys tonight. We don't police any of that stuff. If we did, Sean Strickland would've been gone three f*cking years ago, and we wouldn't even be having this conversation.â€
Michael
“Venom” Page says his new deal will pay him more than he earned
during his
Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure.
Page had promised an exciting performance against Nursulton
Ruziboev in September, the final bout of his UFC contract. He
won by unanimous decision, but the promotion opted not to re-sign
him. The Englishman now says his move to Misfits Boxing will bring
a substantial increase in earnings.
Michael Page compares three-fight Misfits contract with
earnings from six UFC appearances
Page produced highlight-reel knockouts in Bellator,
but all six of his UFC appearances went the distance. He finished
5-1 in the promotion, with his only loss coming against Ian
Garry.
Page (26-3) said he received offers from several promotions before
signing with Misfits. He expects to earn more from the three-fight
agreement than he did from his six UFC bouts, describing his new
compensation as roughly double what he previously earned. He also
said Misfits intends to launch an MMA show with him as a leading
figure.
“Misfits came with an absolutely crazy deal, which means I’ve
continued to grow and get better financially,†Page told Ariel
Helwani. “They have vision for the future. They're trying to get an
MMA show going, with me kind of lead that way, be the face of that…
I’ve left the UFC and I’m making more money. Like two times more,
maybe just over, and in a shorter period. In a three-fight deal,
I’ll make more than I have my whole UFC contract.â€
MVP reveals he’ll make more money in his
three-fight Misfits deal than he did during his entire UFC run,
with seven figures per fight: “Misfits came with an absolutely
crazy deal, which means I’ve continued to grow and get better
financially. I’ve left the UFC and I’m making more money. Like two
times more, maybe just over, and in a shorter period. In a
three-fight deal, I’ll make more than I have my whole UFC
contract.”
