Vazquez closed the show for Combate Global, stopping Komronbek Ortikov in the second round of a 130-pound catchweight main event billed as "Mexico vs. USA Part II." The win returned him to Mexico's win column after his UFC release and doubled as a rescheduled headline slot — his original April date against Alvin Welch had been scratched 48 hours out on a medical withdrawal.

Key moments

• The bout was a 130-pound catchweight main event, with Vazquez representing Mexico against Uzbekistan's Ortikov.
• Vazquez finished Ortikov by TKO (punches) at 1:34 of round two.
• It was his first fight since being cut by the UFC after the Basharat decision loss, and it set up his short-notice recall to face Miles Johns.

Vazquez's flyweight title fight at Fury FC 76 became a non-title bout after Chairez missed weight by 2. 5 pounds. In round four, Chairez locked in a triangle choke that rendered Vazquez unconscious, but referee Frank Collazo never stopped the fight; Chairez then transitioned to an armbar, and only after Vazquez regained consciousness mid-submission and tapped did the bout officially end. The delayed stoppage left Vazquez with a potential arm fracture and ligament damage and drew national criticism of the officiating.
