Combate Americas returns to UFC Fight Pass this evening (Fri., Oct. 14, 2016) inside Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
The action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET.
"Empire Rising" features the promotion's first-ever world title fight as John Castaneda battles Gustavo Lopez for the inaugural bantamweight belt; however, "Sexy Mexy" is ineligible to be crowned champion with a win, due to his inability to make the contracted weight.
In the three-round co-main event, UFC veteran Matt Hamill makes his Combate Americas debut in a light heavyweight showdown opposite Julian Marquez. In addition, Paulina Granados takes on Jenna Serio in atomweight action, with the winner moving on to challenge Kyra Batara.
Good stuff.
