Granados (4-2) will be looking to win her third straight fight after beating Jenna Serio and Stephanie Alba via unanimous decision. Both of which came as a Combate Americas fighter. The former Legacy FC fighter will be looking to add a huge name to win column in December.

TS1-Promotions also announced that a duo of featherweights will square off as Andres Quintana will face Rey Trujillo in the night’s co-main event and Jose Estrada will meet Jesse Vasquez.

Quintana (12-2) is aiming for his third consecutive win after earning back-to-back unanimous decisions over Erick Sanchez and Mexican contender Levy Saul Marroquin. The 26-year old favors the striking and has nine wins via TKO/KO.

Trujillo (21-19) is a very experienced fighter and throughout his eight-year professional career has shown that he is not to be taken lightly. The 35-year old has stoppage victories in 16 of his 21 wins and will more than likely trade with his young opponent.

Estrada (4-1) is set to return at featherweight after a successful debut against Izic Fernandez in September. Fernandez was on the receiving end of severe beating and with that, this fight with Vasquez (2-3) is sure to have the fans on their feet. After starting off 2-0 as professional, Vasquez has dropped three straight and will be looking to kick-start his career with a win over a fan favourite.
