Combate Americas has announced four solid matchups to Combate 39 this June in its return to Tucson, Ariz., calling the event called "Tucson Unbreakable."
Alday won the first championship in promotional history when he toppled Gustavo Lopez by split decision at Combate 24 last September. Earlier this year in March, he lost that title in a rematch to Lopez, where this time Lopez knocked him out in the first round. Meanwhile, Alday's opponent Rivera also competed in March, where it took him 100 seconds to flatten Lazar Stojadinovic with a head kick and punches at Titan FC 53.
Also announced for this event include a middleweight clash between Mexico's Javier Torres (10-5) and Tucson native Joel Champion (5-1). At bantamweight, Costa Rican Jose Calvo (8-1) is set to face Mexican Eduardo Alvarado Osuna (7-5). Additionally, lightweight neophytes Levi Escobar (1-0) and Austin Wourms (1-1) will meet.
