Combate Global made Florida-state history last night, becoming the first MMA promotion to host a one night tournament in the ”Sunshine State”. Tournament winner, Martinez started the night off strong knocking his opponent Alex Gonzalez out in the first round before winning his semi-final bout against Alan Cantú Garcia by unanimous decision.

In the opposite bracket, Francisco Rivera also impressed early on starching Adam Martinez in the first round before going on to defear Nohelin ”Suave” Hernandez by unanimous decision. Francisco Rivera was fancied as the favourite going into the tournament but ”Black Spartan” had other plans, landing a flush head kick to Rivera and following up with strikes.
