It may be common for some brothers to have the same profession, and sometimes even to work in the same company; but being that “Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)” is the profession and that your sibling is “your identical twin”, that’s something very unlikely, except if your last name is Gibson.

Cooper Gibson (9-2), recently signed with Combate Americas and now joins his twin brother Chase Gibson (6-3) within the company’s roster. The brothers are identical twins with different levels of experience as martial artists. Cooper, started his professional career in MMA in 2010 but took a long break between 2013 and 2017, Chase on the other hand, started as a professional at the end of 2014 and has not stopped.

Cooper will be making his debut in Combate Texas on June 21, at the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, facing one of the company’s veterans, Ricky “El Gallero” Palacios (11-1). His brother, however, made his debut in the Combate Estrellas event last year, where he lost to Rafa García by majority decision in a three-round battle.

“It’s only right me and my brother are fighting for Combate Americas,” said Cooper in a recent interview. “We were put on this earth together and it’s time we both put the Gibson name on the map.”

Cooper’s arrival to Combat Americas is something that makes his brother happy.

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

Cooper has passed through several promotions throughout his career, earning a 9-2 record as a professional. His victories include 4 submissions and 2 technical knockouts, showcasing a 66% finishing percentage.
