NEW YORK - May 19, 2022 - Combate Global today announced a new main event for its show on Sunday, May 29 in Miami, Fla., due to an abdominal injury sustained by Ireland's Frans "The Zulu Irishman" Mlambo (13-5), who had been scheduled to challenge reigning Combate Global World Bantamweight (135 pounds) Champion David "The Black Spartan" Martinez (6-1) for Martinez's title.
 
Mlambo, the number one contender in Combate Global's bantamweight division, will be replaced by hard-hitting Arturo "El Makako" Vergara (2-0 MMA; 3-1 Kickboxing) of Los Andes, Chile via Miami. Vergara will challenge Martinez of Mexico City, Mexico in a bantamweight non-title bout.
 
Combate Global will announce television programming details as well as the complete fight card for the event on Tuesday, May 24.
 
"We wish Frans a full and speedy recovery," said Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren, "and are excited to debut Chile's Arturo Vergara, who is coming off an incredible, nine-second knockout! I have a lot of respect for Arturo stepping up because David Martinez is as tough an opponent as they come."
 
Unbeaten to date under MMA rules, Vergara produced a stunning, nine-second knockout via a flying knee strike of Cody Schieve on May 6.
 
The speedy win followed another first round (2:21) TKO (strikes) that Vergara notched in his MMA rules debut against Steven Orozco on February 19.

Prior to his first MMA start, Vergara had competed exclusively under kickboxing rules, amassing over 80 bouts as an amateur, and a 3-1 record as a professional.
 
The 23-year-old Martinez of Mexico City will enter La Jaula, the Combate Global competition cage, for the first time since he was crowned world champion one year ago, on May 29, 2021.
 
A member of Team Bonebreakers, Martinez defeated three consecutive opponents - including championship round adversary Francisco "Cisco" Rivera, Jr. via second round (0:17) TKO (head kick and punches) - in one night, to become world champion.
