Combate Americas has decided to postpone their upcoming return to action due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases in Florida.
The promotion made the announcement this week after originally scheduling a series of cards that would be held behind closed doors in Miami with the first show taking place Aug. 28. Combate Americas hasn’t held an event since February due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“This is not a decision we took lightly, and is based entirely on our focus to prioritize the safety of our employees, broadcast partners, fighters and the broader MMA community,” Combate Americas CEO Campbell McLaren said in a statement released to the Associated Press.
