Overview Combat Night is a Florida mixed martial arts promotion that runs amateur and pro bouts, and Gillian Robertson, Roman Faraldo and Ramon Taveras fought there before the UFC. It runs roughly 20 cards a year from hubs in Tallahassee, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa, Gainesville and Fort Lauderdale, and has passed 200 events and 2,500 fights since 2012. Every card streams live on Spectation Sports, which runs a network of regional MMA promotions across North America, among them Cage Titans in Massachusetts and RUF in Arizona. On site The cards run in arenas, event centers and ballrooms: in 2026, the Shanna and Bryan Glazer JCC in Tampa, Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee and Gulfstream Casino in Hallandale. The canvas carries the Combat Night mark and sponsor logos, the corner pads carry more, and the broadcast graphics play on a big screen in the room. Matchup graphics come up more than 20 times a night, and the stream runs 25 to 35 replays. Audience Much of the audience watches on the stream, where Spectation runs live strike and takedown stats with under 20 seconds of delay, free prediction games and odds; Spectation fights carry lines on BetMGM in 22 states and Ontario. Clips carry on after the card: one Combat Night Instagram video passed 60 million views. Talent and Influencers Alumni have gone on to the UFC, PFL, Bellator, ONE Championship and WWE: Thad Jean and Austen Lane to the PFL, and Valerie Loureda to Bellator and then WWE. Val Woodburn went to the UFC and was billed against Michael Cora at Combat Night Kissimmee in August 2026. The Tampa card that June matched Nick McCarty with Will Rentz. Track record Mitchell Chamale and Josh Samman, the UFC middleweight who died in 2016, started Combat Night in Tallahassee in 2012 with $15,000 Chamale had saved selling supplements out of his car and a fighter list written on a torn envelope. Ralph Valdez, a name on that envelope, won the first title. On March 21, 2020, as sport shut down, ESPN reported the Jacksonville card as believed to be the only MMA event in the United States that weekend. Brand presence Inventory sits in three places. In the cage: the canvas center, the perimeter rail and the corner pads. On the broadcast: the fight clock, replay transitions, matchup graphics and ad reads, all of which carry into the YouTube and social replays. Online: banners on Spectation event pages, branded highlight clips and sponsored free-to-play games. A brand can also sponsor a single fight, with its logo on screen and a PA read before the walkouts.
