Kenia Enriquez
Three-time world boxing champion Kenia Enriquez is ready to conquer a completely new domain. This Thursday, March 12, she officially headlines the highly anticipated Combate Global MMA event. As a result, fight fans around the world are buzzing with excitement to see the “Mexican Queen” back in action.
Transitioning From the Ring to La Jaula
Kenia Enriquez boasts an incredible 28-1 boxing record, including 11 devastating knockouts. Furthermore, she is already a flawless 2-0 in professional Mixed Martial Arts. Now, the 31-year-old Tijuana native will step into “La Jaula” (The Cage) for her third MMA bout. She is currently training with veteran fighter Carlos “Goku” Arana in Guadalajara, Mexico. Consequently, she looks sharper and more dangerous than ever before.
A Clash of Styles: Enriquez vs. McBride
In this thrilling strawweight main event, Enriquez faces off against American fighter CaySea McBride. McBride brings a highly unique skill set to the cage to counter Enriquez’s striking. Specifically, she holds a black belt in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and has practiced martial arts since she was just six years old. She actively trains at the renowned Sik Jitsu camp alongside undefeated fighters. Therefore, this matchup promises a classic clash between an elite striker and a lifelong grappler.

By utilizing an exciting World Cup-style “country vs. country” format, the franchise has quickly become the second most popular sport for Hispanic audiences worldwide. As McLaren recently noted, boxing was once royalty, but today, MMA sits at the very top. Ultimately, bringing a boxing queen like Kenia Enriquez into Combate Global proves that point perfectly.
