Copa Combate
Copa Combate is an annual, one-night eight man tournament where the winner receives a prize of $100,000.[25] Each fighter represents their own country, in a quest to win the "Copa." The inaugural Copa took place during the 24th anniversary of the now legendary UFC 1, which was executive produced by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) co-founder and Combate Americas CEO Campbell McLaren.[26]
Copa Combate: Cancun
In the fall of 2017, Combate Americas and Telemundo Deportes announced a partnership to produce Cope Combate, a tournament that took place on November 11, 2017, in Cancun, Mexico.[27]
The eight bantamweight (135 pounds) fighters were separated into four brackets with the top four fighters given seeded positions based on their worldwide rankings, while the opponents were determined based on a lottery ball drawing.[28] The tournament's semifinal stage consisted of two bouts that pit the winners of the quarterfinal stage bouts in each tournament bracket against one another. The two winners from the semifinal faced each other.[29]
Mexican fighter Levy Saúl “El Negro” Marroquín was the winner of Copa Combate, after stepping in for Ricky Palacios after he failed to make weight.[30]
Original Bracket
- Mikey "El Terrible" Erosa (Puerto Rico) vs. Marcelo “Pitbull" Rojo (Argentina)
- Carlos "Lobo" Rivera (Mexico) vs. Ricky "El Gallero" Palacios (USA)
- John "Sexi Mexi" Castaneda (USA) vs. Kevin "El Frío" Moreyra (Peru)
- Marc "Lufo" Gómez (Spain) vs. Andrés "Doble A" Ayala (Colombia)
Alternate Bouts
- Levy Saúl “El Negro” Marroquín (México) vs. Alejandro “The Pitbull” Abomohor (Colombia)
- Felipe Vargas (Colombia) vs. Víctor Madrigal
Ricky “El Gallero” Palacios and Andrés “Doble A Leal” Ayala were not able to make weight (the limit was 136 lbs). Therefore, Levy Saúl Marroquín took Palacios' place (now facing Rivera), while Alejandro Abomohor took Ayala's position (fighting against Gomez). [31]
