Combate Global is set to host its largest annual event, the Copa Combate, tonight live from Univision Studios in Miami, Florida. The Copa Combate is a one-night eight-man bantamweight tournament with each fighter representing their own home country. As with all other Combate Global one-night tournaments, all rounds prior to the finals will be contested in one five-minute round, while the final will be a full-length three-round five-minute fight.
The first of the four matchups is between Ireland’s Frans Mlambo and Peru’s Jose Zarauz. Born in South Africa, “The Black Mamba” Mlambo now resides in Ireland and trains at the famed SBG Ireland.
