Seven months ago A1 Combat 30’s , Humberto Bandenay left Peru with a single mission: keep his dream alive. He didn’t just change gyms—he uprooted his life, trading family and comfort for a lonely grind in California. Now, the veteran featherweight walks into A1 Combat 30 at Chumash Casino on October 4 knowing that every sacrifice, every mile of distance, must add up to one truth: he still belongs among the best.
For fans, this co-main event against Ernie Juarez is a compelling clash of generations. For Bandenay, it’s survival.
He’s carried that survival instinct across continents, testing himself in arenas from South America to the UFC’s global stage.
