LOS ANGELES – November 11, 2025 –COMBATE GLOBAL is gearing up for the biggest 12-month run in the history of the world’s premier Hispanic-focused Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sports franchise.

Although COMBATE GLOBAL will move its studio events from Miami, where it produced 95 live shows between 2021 and 2024, to a very different kind of environment in Tinseltown, the company has never been a stranger to star power.
