Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day.
Last weekend was a rare one with no UFC card, so the rest of the MMA world seemed determined to show out with a litany of brutal KOs. First up, a visit to scenic Lake Tahoe, Nevada, for Combate 42.
Gustavo Lopez vs. Joey Ruquet
JJ Torres vs. Cole Jordan
Last Friday’s Combate event was headlined by two title fights that were meant to showcase a pair of the promotion’s budding stars, recently crowned bantamweight champion Gustavo Lopez and top featherweight Andres Quintana, the latter of whom was vying to become Combate’s first champion at 145 pounds.
