Combate Americas signs its third pro wrestler, ‘Thunder Rosa’

Yet another pro wrestling name has signed an MMA contract.

Melissa Cervantes, 28, who has used a number of names, but is best known on the independent scene as “Thunder Rosa,” was announced on Tuesday as having signed a multi-fight contract with Combate Americas.

The promotion officially announced the signing after ESPN had first reported the news over the weekend.

Cervantes is the third pro wrestler that has been added to the group’s roster. Jose Alberto Rodriguez, better known as “Alberto Del Rio,” who was a major star in WWE, has been working as an executive with the company and is expected to face Tito Ortiz in what would be the biggest fight in company history.
