Two-division WBC world champion Kenia Enriquez delivered an impressive performance in her MMA debut at Combate Global’s all-female event, Combate Female, on Thursday night.
Valentine hit the mat twice during the opening round as Enriquez leaned on her world-class boxing skills against the undefeated mixed martial artist. It didn’t take long for Valentine to start fishing for takedowns, but she was unable to muscle the interim WBC flyweight titleholder down.
Throughout the second stanza, it became abundantly clear that Valentine could not hang with Enriquez on her feet. That prompted ‘Bloody’ to close the distance and clinch up against the fence.
