Combate Americas will invade Burbank, California, on Thursday, Feb. 16. Headlining the event will be an atomweight showdown between Kyra Batara and Vanessa Rico Fernandez while Erick Sanchez will oppose Andres Quintana in a featherweight co-feature.
Batara, a 4-foot-11 Las Vegas-based grappler, has been on a tear lately, having won all three of her bouts inside the Combate Americas cage. In her most recent outing, Batara scored a second-round TKO of Jenny Silverio, when she trapped her foe in a twister and pounded on her until the referee intervened.
