June 22, 2021 - Paramount+ and CBS Sports today announced a multi-year agreement with Combate Global to serve as the U.S. English-language home of Combate Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) action.

Combate Global features fighters from across the world with an electrifying country vs. country style of competition, similar to international soccer matches. Fighters face off in "La Jaula," the Combate cage.

"The addition of Combate Global's exciting MMA action is a tremendous opportunity for Paramount+ to further expand its reach to a young and diverse fanbase," said Jeffrey Gerttula, Executive Vice President and General Manager, CBS Sports Digital. "We believe Combate events will complement the expansive live soccer programming that is now a cornerstone of our industry-leading sports coverage on the service and deliver even more unique sports content across CBS Sports platforms."

"We are thrilled to partner with CBS Sports and bring Combate Global action to the Paramount+ platform," said Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren. "Millions of combat sports fans have heard about Combate Global's fast and furious version of MMA and can now see for themselves.

The fight telecasts will be produced by Combate Global and take place live from their set in Miami featuring Combate announcers Max Bretos and Julianna Peña, one of the top MMA fighters in the world.

About Combate Global

Combate Global, previously "Combate Americas," is the premier Hispanic Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sports franchise, rapidly becoming the number two sport after soccer for Spanish speaking fans worldwide. It is the only MMA property regularly airing on broadcast television in both the U.S. and Mexico. Nielsen research indicates that an astounding 91 percent of Combate Global viewers are not regular viewers of other MMA content, demonstrating that Combate Global has garnered a new MMA audience with its World Cup-style, country vs. country-style competition. Each year of Combate Global action culminates with "COPA COMBATE," the toughest event in sports, and the most coveted destination for representing one's country. Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren, also the co-founder and creator of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has been described by New York Magazine as "the marketing genius behind the UFC," while Yahoo Sports has said he "knows more about the sport than just about anyone in it today." Under his direction, the growth of Combate Americas' television footprint and worldwide audience triggered a re-branding in 2021 to Combate Global.
