The masked wrestler “Sexy Star” is going by a different name now. Her real name, in fact.
Dulce García, one of the most well-known luchadoras of the 21st century, is set to make the jump from professional wrestling to mixed martial arts in a 118-pound catchweight fight on Combate Americas upcoming Combate Estrellas card this Friday.
While this isn’t her first foray into combat sports, as she currently holds a professional boxing record of 5-0, it will mark her introduction into the world of four-ounce gloves.
But how did this come about? Why make the jump to another sport after finding so much success in wrestling and boxing?
