Combate Global, a mixed martial arts organization, is moving its production operations from Miami to Burbank, California, which is a positive development for the state’s film and television industry.
The show is moving to Estrella TV after six years on Univision. Filming of 20 live events will begin in February at Estrella’s new studio, which can hold an audience of 500. This studio previously hosted the talent show “Tengo Talento Mucho Talento.”
Combate Global CEO and UFC co-founder Campbell McLaren explained that the organization wanted to move to Southern California to reach a larger audience through the area’s extensive media presence.
This expansion is projected to generate around 60 new jobs and contribute over $1 million to the local economy each year. The company plans to produce 20 shows, a significant increase from the eight shows they created this year.

Writer and producer David E. Kelley is choosing to film his latest projects in California, which is notable because many productions have recently moved filming to other states, impacting local jobs.
McLaren explained that moving will give them access to a larger market and a wider pool of both on- and off-screen talent. He believes this is a significant advancement for the company.
This change lets the franchise reach the large Mexican American audience in Los Angeles – Combate Global already has a huge following in Mexico – and introduce mixed martial arts to new fans, like those in the Korean community. The popular Japan versus Mexico events could also be a big hit in L.A., according to McLaren.
We’re making this change to better meet the needs of our most loyal customers, and we expect it will significantly increase their engagement with us.
California is working to attract more movie and TV filming back to the state. Many productions have moved elsewhere in recent years, seeking better financial benefits and tax breaks.
State lawmakers recently increased funding for the state’s film and TV tax credit program, more than doubling the yearly amount available. Since then, dozens of projects – including 22 TV series and 52 movies – have been approved for these credits. It’s worth noting that the sports organization Combate Global wasn’t eligible for a credit, as the program doesn’t cover sporting events.
