Bad news for all the doomsday prophets who already published their eulogies.
Combate Global is here to stay.
The promotion’s first mixed martial arts (MMA) event of 2025, “Combate Female,” will take place on March 13 from TelevisaUnivision’s studios in Miami, Fla., streaming LIVE at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube (English and Spanish) and FUSE (English). In addition, Univision will replay the card in its entirety later in the evening.
Combate Global will return to YouTube for live MMA events on April 10 and April 24.
“With YouTube in our corner as it grows its interest in live sports, Combate Global will be able to achieve its mission of delivering ‘Much More Action’ to a global Spanish-speaking audience via the biggest streaming video platform on the planet,” said Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren. “Combate Global couldn’t ask for a better partner than YouTube as we launch full speed into the future and spearhead the rapid growth and engagement of our live audiences.”
Combate Global will serve as YouTube’s first premium producer of live MMA programming for global distribution. In addition, select content creators will be granted exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the Combate roster and stream supporting footage in advance of each show starting with “Combate Female” on March 13.
