Why Combate Global is Taking Over MMA
Combate Global is rapidly becoming the ultimate destination for Hispanic sports fans. In fact, it ranks as the second most popular sport after soccer among Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide. With a unique country-versus-country format, it draws a massive new viewership. Nielsen data shows that a staggering 91% of its US viewers do not regularly watch other MMA content. Led by CEO Campbell McLaren, a co-founder of the UFC, the promotion continues to break new ground in sports entertainment.
