Combate America plans to produce a great deal of content in the near future, as The Wrap has confirmed that two projects in what will be known as La Juala Studios in New York will focus on Erik Perez and Amanda Serrano.
Serrano will be the focus of “The Real Deal,” a motion picture that will document her training for boxing and mixed martial arts. She has updated her progress on social media, and while her MMA debut ended in a draw, she showed promise against Corina Herrera at Combate Americas “Combate Estrellas” in April. Serrano will face Yamila Esther Reynoso on Sept. 8, as she attempts to become a five-division boxing champion. She was a gold medalist at a recent Grappling Industries tournament.
With the studios focused entirely on fighters competing under the Combate Americas flag, it appears as though the promotion is fully invested in creating stars in the MMA world. According to The Wrap, Combate Americas is the first MMA organization to start its own production company.
