Combate Global (formally Combate Americas) is an American-Hispanic mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company founded in 2011 by current-CEO Campbell McLaren and based in New York City, New York.[1] Its business encompasses live events, television broadcasts, and mobile content catering to a millennial audience; with the average age of viewers being 27.[2][3]

History

[edit]

In December 2013, Mun2 greenlit a reality competition series called Combate Americas to air in 2014. The series would feature ten fighters in two weight classes competing for a chance to win an exclusive contract with the promotion.[4] Founder and CEO Campbell McLaren has said that the company “was specifically created to present the best new Hispanic fighters and to introduce a whole new audience to this highly entertaining sport.”[5]

Chino y Nacho hosted the series, while Daddy Yankee served as the first commissioner of Combate.[6] The series culminated with Ismael Leon being crowned the featherweight champion, and Danny Morales winning the welterweight bracket.[7]

Combate Americas was the winner of the Imagen Award for “Best Reality or Variety Series”.[8] The show also won the 2014 Cable Fax Award for "Best Show or Series Reality/Competition/Game Show".[9]

In 2017, Trenton Thunder Co-owner Joe Plumeri became the non-Executive Chairman of the board.[10]

In 2018, Combate announced a live Programming Agreement with Univision Deportes. “Combate ESTRELLAS I” and “Combate ESTRELLAS II”, respectively broadcast on Friday, April 13 and Friday, April 20, would be the first live televised MMA events to air on the main Univision broadcast network and Univision Deportes.[11]

“Combate ESTRELLAS I” delivered a total of 583,000 persons 2+, including 296,000 adults in the coveted 18-49 age group, on the Univision and Univision Deportes Network simulcast. The broadcast drew a bigger audience than Bellator 197, which aired in primetime on Paramount Network.[12] The Facebook LIVE stream of the Combate ESTRELLAS I preliminary card delivered over 294,000 streams.[13] In Mexico, the event delivered over 4 million live broadcast television viewers on Azteca 7.[14] Airing exclusively on UDN in the midnight ET slot the following Friday, April 20, “Combate ESTRELLAS II” delivered another 200,000 total viewers, a 10 percent increase from the first installment of the two-part, “Combate ESTRELLAS” live event series. Of the total UDN viewers for “Combate ESTRELLAS II,” 67 percent were in the 18-49 age group. The Facebook LIVE stream garnered over 630,000 streams, more than doubling the online audience from ESTRELLAS I.[15]

Rebranding and further television deals

[edit]

In March 2021, Combate Americas announced a five-year broadcasting partnership with Univision, with a plan to produce 150 televised events.[16] It was also announced the organization would be branded as Combate Global going forward.[16] In June of that year, Combate Global announced that CBS Sports, through CBS Sports Network and Paramount Plus, would become the English language home for Combate Global.[17] After increased ratings, Univision Communications bought a significant equity stake in Combate Global the following month.[18]

In 2024, Combate's English language programming moved exclusively Fuse Media's namesake cable channel. In addition, Combate Global's library content would begin streaming on the company's El Rey Rebel FAST channel.[19]

Copa Combate

[edit]

Copa Combate is an annual, one-night eight man tournament where the winner receives a prize of $100,000.[29] Each fighter represents their own country, in a quest to win the "Copa." The inaugural Copa took place during the 24th anniversary of the now legendary UFC 1, which was executive produced by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) co-founder and Combate Americas CEO Campbell McLaren.[30]

Copa Combate: Cancun

In the fall of 2017, Combate Americas and Telemundo Deportes announced a partnership to produce Cope Combate, a tournament that took place on November 11, 2017, in Cancun, Mexico.[31]

The eight bantamweight (135 pounds) fighters were separated into four brackets with the top four fighters given seeded positions based on their worldwide rankings, while the opponents were determined based on a lottery ball drawing.[32] The tournament's semifinal stage consisted of two bouts that pit the winners of the quarterfinal stage bouts in each tournament bracket against one another. The two winners from the semifinal faced each other.[33]

Mexican fighter Levy Saúl “El Negro” Marroquín was the winner of Copa Combate, after stepping in for Ricky Palacios after he failed to make weight.[34]

Original Bracket

  • Mikey "El Terrible" Erosa (Puerto Rico) vs. Marcelo “Pitbull" Rojo (Argentina)
  • Carlos "Lobo" Rivera (Mexico) vs. Ricky "El Gallero" Palacios (USA)
  • John "Sexi Mexi" Castaneda (USA) vs. Kevin "El Frío" Moreyra (Peru)
  • Marc "Lufo" Gómez (Spain) vs. Andrés "Doble A" Ayala (Colombia)

Alternate Bouts

  • Levy Saúl “El Negro” Marroquín (México) vs. Alejandro “The Pitbull” Abomohor (Colombia)
  • Felipe Vargas (Colombia) vs. Víctor Madrigal 

Ricky “El Gallero” Palacios and Andrés “Doble A Leal” Ayala were not able to make weight (the limit was 136 lbs). Therefore, Levy Saúl Marroquín took Palacios' place (now facing Rivera), while Alejandro Abomohor took Ayala's position (fighting against Gomez). [35]

Quarter Finals

  • Marcelo Rojo defeated Mike Erosa via Submission (armbar) at 2:20 of round 1
  • Levy Saúl Marroquín defeated Carlos Rivera via Unanimous Decision (Score Cards: 10–9, 10–9, 10–8)
  • John Castaneda defeated Kevin Moreyra via Submission (Rear-naked choke) at 4:55 of round 1. 
  • Marc Gomez defeated Alejandro Abomohor via Unanimous Decision (Score Cards / Tarjetas: 10–9, 10–9, 10–8)

Semi-Finals Results

  • Levy Saúl Marroquín defeated Marcelo Rojo via Submission (Guillotine Choke) at 1:56 of round 3. 
  • John Castaneda defeated Marc Gomez via Unanimous Decision (Score Cards: 29–28, 29–28, 29–28) 

Final Result

  • Levy Saúl Marroquín defeated John Castaneda via Unanimous Decision (Score Cards: 30–27, 29–28, 29–28)[36]
