Three-time WWE world champion Rey Mysterio has been named ambassador of U.S. Hispanic mixed martial arts (MMA) sports franchise Combate Americas, and will make his promotional debut at the upcoming "Road To The Championship Hollywood" event in Burbank, California.
"Combate Americas embraces the great Mexican tradition of Lucha Libre," said Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) co-creator and promotion head cheese Campbell McLaren. "We are honored to bring Rey Mysterio, a global icon and one of the premier Hispanic figures in sports entertainment, on board as our ambassador and are confident that he can inspire our fans and fighters."
In addition, former WWF and WCW superstar Konnan will serve as color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Ricardo Celis and Andrea Calle.
