Combate Americas To Hold One Night $100,000 Tournament

Combate Americas have announced that on November 11th, they will hold a one-night, eight-man bantamweight tournament in Cancun, Mexico.

Additionally, the quarterfinal and semifinal fights will be three, three-minute rounds, while the championship will be three, five-minute rounds.

There will be two alternate matchups, with the winners on standby in case a tourney competitor is injured. And elbows will be banned over the first two rounds of the tournament.

The tourney is near the anniversary of the Nov. 12, 1993 UFC 1 tournament in Denver, won by Royce Gracie. Combate CEO Campbell McClaren was  one of the original members of the UFC executive team.

There is a $100,000 prize for the tournament winner. The names of the tournament competitors, and venue for the show, will be announced at a later date.
