The crossover between mixed martial arts and professional wrestling has gone from subtle to overt in recent years. The latest example being the career change of Dulce Garcia. On Friday night, the professional wrestler notably referred to as “Sexy Star” will make her professional MMA debut at “Combate Americas: Flores vs. Marroquin.” The event will take place at the Arena Jose Sulaiman in Monterrey, Mexico, just a 10-minute drive from Garcia’s childhood home.

Professional wrestlers trying their hand at MMA has become more common than it was in the sport’s early years.
