Combate Fresno 'Mexico vs. USA': Anthony Avila vs. Pablo Sabori fight date, time, how to watch, live stream image

It should be an all-action fight when Pablo “El Gallo Negro” Sabori takes on Anthony “The Shark” Avila to headline Combate Americas’ Combate Fresno “Mexico vs. USA” card on Friday night at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., live on DAZN.

Avila, a Urijah Faber protégé fighting out of Sacramento, enters the cage on a hot streak, having won four straight fights, including a second-round KO of Marcello Cassero in November. Sabori, representing San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora, Mexico, hits the cage with a 9-5 record, coming off a unanimous decision victory over Michael Irizarry Ortiz back in December. Sabori and Avila will be fighting at a 150-pound catchweight.

While the main event between the all-action strikers shouldn’t disappoint, the co-main event flyweight scrap between “The Warrior Princess” Zoila Frausto (13-5) and Jaimee Nievera (7-4) isn’t too shabby, either. Also on the card, is Ivan “Choko” Castillo, out of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, up against Daniel “D-Rod” Rodriguez, fighting out of Alhambra, Calif., in a super lightweight clash. Rodriguez (7-1) has won three straight matches, including his third-round stoppage of Ozzie Alvarez in September, while Castillo (17-11) snapped a three-fight skid with a split-decision win over Richie Palomino in October.
