Juan Puerta (21-6) vs. Lloyd McKinney (14-7)
Combate’s latest transformation from Combate Americas to Combate Global has been accompanied by a regular set of late-night events. The latest, dubbed “Superfly,” features an interesting flyweight scrap between Juan Puerta and Lloyd McKinney.
The 33-year-old Puerta made his pro debut in a losing effort in 2011, and he ultimately went just 3-3 through his first six fights. Of course, the American Top Team Atlanta product’s record has improved since then. He reeled off five straight wins before suffering a knockout loss courtesy of Johnny Campbell. Another three victories followed, but then Puerta hit a rough patch in which he dropped back-to-back fights against Darren Mima and Jared Scoggins. Yet again, he has gotten back on track with 10 consecutive wins, including a finish of Gustavo Balart, a title victory over Kazbek Ashimov, and a decision nod over veteran Claudio Ledesma. Overall, “Leadfeather” has 11 submission finishes

Early this month, two-time title challenger Yoel Romero was cut from the UFC roster. It caught many by surprise, Romero included.
In a recent interview with ESPN, “The Soldier of God” finally broke his silence about what really happened from his end of things.
“I was already in training, very hard, getting ready,” Romero said through an interpreter. “We were already thinking about fighting in January or February in 185 [pounds] or 205. We were looking to fight with the top three in either division.
