Combate Americas will hold its second annual “Copa Combate" tournament Dec. 7 at SaveMart Center in Fresno, Calif.
The one-night, eight-man tournament will be the first of its kind in the California. The winner of the featherweight bracket will receive a $100,000 prize. The tournament will take place 25 years after the UFC held its inaugural event in 1993.
“This is the way I started the UFC 25 years ago — an 8-man tournament — the toughest challenge in sports, and now it’s coming to Fresno and the great state of California for the first time in history,” said Combate Americas CEO and UFC co-founder Campbell McLaren.
