Jungle Fight live for the United States

Wallid Ismail

The president of the Jungle Fight, Wallid Ismail usually claims that his event is the biggest MMA promotion in Latin America, but this Wednesday the show took an important step towards conquering another market.

Jungle has just signed an agreement with the American ESPN, and the channel will broadcast live the next edition of the show, which takes place this Saturday, throughout the United States.

In addition to this Saturday's broadcast, the agreement provides for the exhibition of all events organized by the brand over the next 12 months. There is also the option of renewing from year to year.

“It’s a milestone in the history of MMA in Latin America. The Jungle was already the event that exported the most fighters to the UFC. Imagine now that all our events will be shown in America”, said Wallid, speaking to publisher Abril.

The next edition of Jungle Fight takes place this Saturday, at Ginásio do Pacaembu, in São Paulo, from 19 pm and will be broadcast live on Canal Combate.
