Jaden Ortega
Last night, Combate Global brought explosive action to Burbank, California, with its highly anticipated Mexico Vs USA event. However, the days leading up to the fights were absolutely crazy. Fans experienced a whirlwind week of massive changes to the official fight card. Suddenly, both the main and co-main events faced unexpected cancellations. A promotional booking conflict completely derailed one major matchup. Meanwhile, an uncleared medical issue stemming from a past injury forced another shift. Because of this, Mexican MMA rising star Gianni “Kriptonita” Vasquez had to reschedule his bout to May 9th.
Inside La Jaula With Jaden Ortega
Despite these hurdles, the Estrellas TV studios still buzzed with incredible energy. Another major fighter scheduled to appear on Combate Global’s May 9th fight card is the phenomenal 23-year-old from Spokane, Jaden Ortega. Holding an impressive undefeated 5-0 record, Ortega currently serves as an English commentator for the promotion. He recently signed a multi-fight, multi-year agreement. He consistently brings extreme pressure and raw aggression inside “La Jaula”.
In 2025, Ortega cemented his reputation as one of the top pound-for-pound emerging stars in the sport. He conquered three tough opponents over the course of the year. Impressively, he finished them all in the very first round with devastating strikes. Last July 17, the American phenom destroyed Castillo in just 44 seconds using a brutal body kick-punches combination. Later, on April 10, Ortega quickly stopped Lloreda with a massive high kick followed by an absolute onslaught of punches.
