The new studio will be led by Stan Jakubowicz, who was recently promoted to Chief Content Officer, and will be based in New York.
“Our mission with La Jaula Studios is to tell the bold, untold and unfiltered stories of the real-life heroism behind Combate’s fighters and their communities,” said Hernandez. “Stan’s proven creative expertise and uncontainable passion for this sport make him a perfect fit to lead La Jaula.”
Jakubowicz is a creative executive with nearly 20 years of experience producing multi-platform content for television, digital and film. He has produced box office hits such as La Mujer de Mi Hermano, and co-produced the critically acclaimed The German Doctor, an Oscar and Golden Globes official submission for Best Foreign Film in 2014.
Jakubowicz also co-produced Visitantes, a horror film featuring Mexican superstar, Kate del Castillo, and served as an associate producer for the film El Inca, a Venezuelan boxing drama that earned him a second official submission in the Foreign Film category for the Academy Awards.
As an Emmy-nominated TV Executive Producer, Jakubowicz has produced for the world’s leading media companies such as Disney, Comcast, Sony, Univision, NBC Universal and Fremantle Media.
La Jaula Studios will produce authentic content in Spanish, English and Portuguese that complements Combate Americas’ programming. Production will take place around the globe, including Latin America, Brazilia, Spania, Portugal and the U.S.
La Jaula Studios will offer a variety of programming, including lifestyle-documentaries to scripted series, feature films, short-form digital, social and mobile content – and customized, sponsor-branded interstitials that will air during highly-watched Combate Americas’ live Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) television and digital events. This content will offer brands and advertisers a unique opportunity to connect with Combate Americas’ audience.
Upcoming projects include:
- “Rootas,"(wt)- a docu-series chronicling the lives of six Combate Americas fighters on their journey, told first-hand through their eyes. The first episode will feature Mexican MMA superstar Erik “Goyito” Perez, as he heads to an unfamiliar world – Tailanda – to train under legendary Muay Thai champion Buakaw Banchamek, a fighter whose unmatched speed and devastating knockout power in the ring has transformed him into one of the most sought-after commodities in the fight world.
- “The Real Deal,” a major motion picture and docu-series chronicling the life and career of Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano, the only female fighter and only Puerto Rican fighter in history to win five world boxing championships in five different weight divisions, as she sets her sights on achieving another unprecedented feat – becoming the first fighter in history to win a major MMA world championship while simultaneously retaining a world boxing title.

Bellator a colaborat cu Ananey Communications, un conglomerat de televiziune israelian lăudându-se 14 canale, inclusiv canalele EGO și EGO TOTAL, care au difuzat Bellator în Israel de atunci 2012.
Provenind de la Natal, Brazilia, Patricio „Pitbull”, campion de două ori în greutate cu pană, va intra în cușca Bellator pentru un record promoțional a 20-a oară pe noi. 15. Cu 15 câștigă sub umbrela Bellator, „Pitbull” își va apăra al doilea titlu de la recuperarea titlului mondial la Bellator 178 împotriva Daniel Straus anul trecut. Cel mai recent, „Pitbull” învins Daniel Weichel, eliminându-și adversarul prin decizie divizată la Bellator 203 în Roma. După ce a câștigat un punct final în 20 sale 27 câștigă ca un profesionist, campionul în exercițiu a devenit sinonim cu emoție și fanii se pot aștepta cu siguranță la mai multe focuri de artificii atunci când intră în cușcă pe Nov. 15.
Sanchez a ieșit oficial de la perspectivă la concurent la titlu atunci când provoacă pentru titlul greutății cu pene la Tel Aviv. Spre deosebire de adversarul său, Sanchez se va regăsi pe teritoriul necunoscut pe noiembrie. 15, ca Milwaukee, în vârstă de 28 de ani, Wis.-luptătorul își va face prima apariție profesională în afara Statelor Unite. „El Matador” va căuta a 10-a victorie promoțională și a cincea victorie consecutivă, o dungă care a început în ianuarie anul trecut. Cu ultima sa înfrângere venind acum doi ani și cu victoriile recente asupra foștilor campioni Bellator Daniel Straus și Marcos Galvao, precum și Sam Sicilia, s-ar putea să nu existe un alt atlet pe lista lui Bellator care să merite o luptă pentru titlu decât produsul Roufusport Academy.
Un membru al echipei Renzo Gracie, Gozali revine în cușca Bellator pentru a cincea oară în cariera sa de 20 de ani. Luptătorul israelian se va lupta din nou cu Ryan Couture pe noiembrie. 15, în urma unui thriller în trei runde la Bellator 180 vara trecuta.

Acum, cu șapte din cele opt victorii ale sale din carieră venind prin supunere, fostul soldat al armatei israeliene speră să-și țină revanșa cu Couture din mâinile judecătorilor.
Couture pare să dubleze succesul pe care l-a avut în primul său meci cu Gozali, când a luat o decizie unanimă câștigă în interiorul Madison Square Garden în iunie anul trecut. Un veteran al UFC și STRIKEFORCE, Couture a apărut de șase ori în cușca Bellator și va face saltul înapoi la greutatea welter în speranța de a colecta cea de-a 12-a victorie a carierei sale. Membru al Xtreme Couture din Las Vegas, nativul din Seattle va căuta să joace rolul de spoiler pentru Gozali atunci când cele două revanșe din Tel Aviv.
Provenind din Harrisburg, Penn. Davis a obținut victorii impresionante asupra competiției de elită în timpul ilustrului său carieră de 10 ani, inclusiv victorii asupra celor de genul Lyoto Machida, "Regele Mo" Lawal, Liam McGeary și cel mai recent, Linton Vassellla Bellator 200 mai devreme anul asta. Luptând din San Diego, Calif. fostul luptător de patru ori NCAA Divizia-1 All-American din Universitatea Penn State deține un semn aproape impecabil de 6-1 în Bellator. "Dl. Minunat ”se antrenează alături de actualul campion Bellator cu greutate galantă Darrion Caldwell, Dominick Cruz și A. J. Matthews printre altele la Alliance MMA.
Luptând din Stary Oskol, Rusia, 26-Vadim Nemkov, un artist knockout în vârstă de un an, va face a treia apariție cu Bellator când îl va întâlni pe Davis. Un protejat al lui Bellator din categoria grea Fedor Emelianenko, Nemkov va căuta să construiască pe perechea sa de victorii la knockout, care include o victorie asupra fostului campion la categoria grea ușoară Liam McGeary la Bellator 194. Cu opt din cele nouă victorii ale sale în carieră, venind prin oprirea primei runde, fostul campion mondial Sambo nu pierde mult timp în cușcă. Abilitatea sa de a termina lupte va fi testată când îl va întâlni pe Davis, un atlet care încă nu a fost terminat în carieră.
Olga Rubin, femeie israeliană, cu pene, se întoarce în cușca Bellator pentru a treia oară pentru a-și pune linia neînvinsă pe linia din țara sa natală. Cu victoriile sale promoționale anterioare la Bellator 164 și Bellator 188 venind prin TKO, „Big Bad” și-a dezvoltat reputația ca unul dintre cei mai periculoși perspective din divizie. Acum este pregătită să se alăture veteranului UFC și Invicta FC Cindy Dandois, care deține cariera câștigă față de Marloes Coenen, Jorina Baars și Megan Anderson.
