Campbell McLaren is no stranger to innovation in mixed martial arts, considering he was one of the co-creators of the UFC. And he'll be trying something different in MMA this spring.
Combate Americas, McLaren's Hispanic-focused MMA promotion, will hold cards every week for a month on NBC Universo beginning April 18 and almost all of them will be live from the Los Angeles area, officials are set to announce soon.
A weekly format has been done before in MMA, most notably by Bellator, but Combate Americas main cards will only be an hour long, featuring three fights apiece.
