Combate Americas has rounded out the field for its upcoming Cope Combate one-night tournament in December.
On Thursday, the promotion announced the final four featherweights, all of whom represent a different country, will enter “La Jaula” to compete for the $100,000 grand prize:
Bruno Cannetti (7-5) of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Pablo Villaseca (13-4) of Santiago, Chile
John Bedoya (6-0) of Bogota, Colombia
Marlon Gonzales (13-3-2, 1 NC) of Lima, Peru
Cannetti, 29, is currently riding a three-fight winning streak. Villaseca, 31, has earned 10 of his 13 professional victories via (T)KO or submission. Bedoya, 27, a veteran from the season three of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin Americas, has scored three of his six professional victories by way of submission.
Gonzales, 26, is currently the No. 1-ranked featherweight fighter in Peru. In his most recent outing, “Deriko Siete” scored a violent first round TKO over Mariano Rocca in August.
The four pugilists will join the previously announced entrants Andres Quintana (15-2) of Roswell, N.M., Alejandro Flores (13-1) of Monterrey, Mexico, Gaston Reyno (8-2, 2 NC) of Montevideo, Uruguay, and Zebenzui “El Niño Roca” Ruiz (7-2) of Las Palmas, Spain.
