Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild could be close to a Phil Kessel trade by Griffin Youngs

Combate Americas has added Cooper Gibson, the identical twin brother of Chase Gibson, to their list of fighter debuts this year.

You aren’t seeing double — there’s two of them!

Combate Americas has just signed Cooper Gibson to a one-fight deal, joining his identical twin brother Chase who was already a part of the promotion’s roster. Cooper will make his debut against Combate Americas veteran Ricky “El Gallero” Palacios (11-1) in the co-main event which takes place at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas on Friday, June 21.

“It’s only right me and my brother are fighting for Combate Americas,” Cooper told FanSided. “We were put on this each together and it’s time we both put the Gibson name on the map.”

The brothers have been fighting for years, Cooper started first but took a lengthy hiatus. He returned to action at Bellator 192 where he defeated Andrew Lazo via first-round submission in his first fight since 2013. He would go on to win another bout, this time for California Xtreme Fighting (CXF) before accepting the offer from Combate Americas. He trains out of MusclePharm and California Mixed Martial Arts. He currently holds a 9-2 professional record.

“I’m really excited to see my brother make his debut for Combate Americas,” Chase told FanSided. “They will now see what we both have to offer. Just remember the name, Gibson.”

Chase made his Combate Americas debut in 2018 where he faced Rafa Garcia at Combate Americas – Combate Estrellas 1. He is a former two-time CXF featherweight champion and trains out of California Mixed Martial Arts. Chase holds a 7-3 professional record.

Both fighters are students of WEC and Bellator veteran Chad George.
