Herring & Herring
Metallica
Nothing rings in the holidays like a boxing-meets-MMA match in never-never land.
This Saturday — after everyone's full on Thanksgiving turkey, broke from Black Friday and hyped from Shop Small Saturday — a seven-bout Triad Combat series presented by Triller Fight Club will take place at Arlington's Globe Life Field, followed by a concert by none other than heavy metal legends Metallica.
For those unfamiliar, Triad Combat is a new sport that incorporates boxing and MMA rules, placing professional boxers and mixed martial arts fighters in a triangular ring over two-minute rounds.
Headlining Saturday's event is a nine-round heavyweight battle between two-time UFC Heavyweight World Champion Frank Mir of Las Vegas and two-time Heavyweight Boxing World Title Challenger Kubrat "The Cobra" Pulev of Sofia, Bulgaria. Other fights will pit Matt Mitrione against Alexander "The Great" Flores in the heavyweight division, "Platinum" Mike Perry versus Sakio "The Scorpion" Bika in the 175-pound weight division, and Alexa Culp versus Angelina Hoffschneider in a women's bout, among other events.
Triad Combat will also air live on Pay-Per-View. See the full fight schedule, ticket information, and more details here.
