Another highly-anticipated Combate Global fight card is set for Friday in Miami on Paramount+. It’s a six-fight card headlined by Leonardo “Chimmy” Morales (10-5) in a battle against American standout John “Hollywood” Sweeney (8-3).

Morales was a semifinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 3: Latin America” and Friday will mark his first fight at bantamweight after running at featherweight (145) previously. The main Combate fight card will also feature Ivan Tena vs. Timothy Cuamba and Jair Perez vs. Shaheen Santana.

Combate Global picks for Oct. 1 fight card in Miami
Before tuning into Friday’s fight card, you need to see the picks from SportsLine’s MMA insider Andrew Gombas. With more than 1,200 selections tracked by the third-party monitoring service Bet MMA, Gombas has shown a 10 percent return on investment for his followers. In 2020, $100 bettors who tailed his picks were up $9,200.
For the Combate Global fight card on Oct. 1, Gombas is backing Perez to pick up the win against Santana in the main event. Perez is a 23-year-old Mexican fighter who has fought most of his career with Combate and will bring a 5-2 record into Friday.
Perez has won his last two fights, including a decision victory over Gabe Barletta at a Combate Global event in July. Shaheen is a 30-year-old American fighter who is coming off his first loss against Natan Levy in “Dana White’s Contender Series” last November.
“With Santana training out of MMA Masters and Perez training at Alliance MMA, these fighters are representing some of the best gyms in the world,” Gombas told SportsLine. “Santana fell short in his “Dana White’s Contenders Series” appearance, but is hungry to rebound. Unfortunately for him, I see Perez taking this fight to the ground and using his grappling to secure the victory.”
