Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Corrales made his professional debut in the spring of 2011, winning his first six fights before being given a title shot for the King of the Cage Featherweight Championship. Corrales won via split decision, and defended his title once before dropping down to the Bantamweight division. He defeated then-KOTC Bantamweight Champion Alejandro Garcia at KOTC: Slugfest on June 5, 2014 to hold both titles.
Corrales defended each title once more before signing with Bellator MMA in mid-2015.
Bellator MMA
Corrales made his promotional debut at Bellator 138 on June 19, 2015 against former Bellator Featherweight Champion Daniel Straus. He was defeated in the second round via submission, and handed his first professional loss.
He appeared again at Bellator 143 against Emmanuel Sanchez. He lost a close split decision.
Corrales fought again for Bellator at Bellator 153 against another former Featherweight Champion in Brazilian Patricio Freire. Corrales was defeated via third-round submission.
After three consecutive losses, Corrales defeated Cody Bollinger at Bellator 170 via second-round TKO. He then picked up three consecutive wins before being matched up with former Olympic wrestler and touted MMA prospect Aaron Pico at Bellator 214. In a thrilling but quick bout, Corrales was knocked down early by Pico but was able to come back and knock Pico out with a right hook from the clinch.
After the big win over Pico which brought his win streak to five, Corrales faced former Bellator Bantamweight Champion Darrion Caldwell at Bellator 228. Corrales was defeated via unanimous decision.
Corrales next faced Juan Archuleta at Bellator 238 on January 25, 2020.[1] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.
