Mike Perry, Frank Mir featured on Triller’s inaugural Triad Combat fighting event

Triller is exploring new ways to fight in the combat sports world.

The organization announced on Thursday the launch of a new style of fighting called Triad Combat that’s set to inaugurate on Nov. 27 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

The event is set to feature former UFC champion Frank Mir, fan favorite ex-UFC welterweight Mike Perry, and former boxing heavyweight title challenger Kubrat Pulev. The three will compete on the event in their respective bouts and no opponents were announced.

Triad Combat is a new style of fighting that incorporates boxing and MMA rules.

Fighters will compete in a triangular ring and under two-minute rounds. The idea is to set professional boxers against professional MMA fighters in an environment that’s “leveling the playing field.” Holding and clinching will be allowed. No specifics on the types of holds were revealed. The gloves in which fighters will compete in will also be different and it’s expected to be a mix between MMA and boxing.

The event is set to be featured on pay-per-view. A musical act is expected from Metallica along with other celebrity guests.
