The promotion last week announced the tournament:
Combate Americas is taking it back to the old school.
The Hispanic-based mixed martial arts (MMA) organization recently unveiled plans to host a one-night, eight-man tournament set to go down on Sat., Nov. 11, 2017 in Cancun, Mexico, dubbed “Copa Combate.”
The winner will have to win three fights in one night in order to take home the $100,000 grand prize.
We are excited to unveil the first ‘COPA COMBATE’ tournament ever, and to revitalize and deliver to fans one of the most compelling and athletically challenging formats for a live fight show, said Campbell McLaren, CEO of Combate Americas.
No stranger to the format, McLaren hopes to replicate the success the one-night tournaments enjoyed in the early days of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) when he was in charge.
