A1 Combat 36 – Prelims will take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026. You can catch all the live MMA action exclusively on UFC Fight Pass! Expect a showcase of rising MMA prospects looking to make a statement and build momentum in their careers.
A1 Combat is a California-based regional MMA promotion founded by Urijah Faber, and its branding is built around developing rising talent on the U.S. West Coast. The company presents itself as a prospect-driven platform rather than a nostalgia brand, with an emphasis on giving younger fighters rounds, cage time, and visibility. Its cards are rooted in mixed martial arts, but the promotion’s pitch is really about pathway building for the next tier of professionals. That makes A1 Combat feel less like a vanity project and more like a farm system with a recognizable founder at the top.
