PLN’s Friday Night Fights just dropped its wildest episode yet, and if you missed the Coffin Wars premiere, you missed pure, unfiltered mayhem. Forget everything you know about combat sports, with fighters literally battling for daylight inside a six-foot coffin. The stakes? Bragging rights, viral glory, and a shot at becoming the first-ever Coffin Wars champ.
Here’s how the night unfolded, and trust us, you’ll want to relive every second.
The opener set the tone, with Coffin Wars veteran LaRoy Davis squaring off against CarJitsu specialist Max Highsmith. Both came out swinging (figuratively, because, well, coffin), but Davis’s experience proved clutch. After a back-and-forth slugfest, Davis dug deep in a third-round sudden death overtime, locking up the win and punching his ticket to the semifinals.
Next up, Zac Moore, another OG who survived the original Coffin Wars on Kai Cenat’s stream, took on Jonathan Chambers. Moore’s experience was on full display, making Chambers work for every inch in round one. But it was round two where Moore flexed: he escaped in just six seconds, then dominated sudden death by breaking out in under a minute. Moore moved on, looking like a man on a mission.
The only SlapFIGHT rep in the bracket, Cure, faced CarJitsu’s David Glassburner in what turned into a war of attrition. Both fighters battled through three grueling rounds, neither able to escape during the sudden death overtime. But the fight ended in heartbreak for Glassburner, who suffered a toe injury and couldn’t continue. Cure advanced to the finals, battered but unbroken.
The semifinals brought a highly anticipated matchup: Moore vs. Davis, who both were the first two to debut on Kai Cenat’s streamathon. This time, both came in hungry, but Moore’s grit and relentless pressure in sudden death overtime helped him edge out Davis and secure his spot in the finals.
The main event was a three-round war between Zac Moore and Cure, but Moore was simply on another level. He dominated the action, using his experience and raw tenacity to keep Cure locked down and unable to mount a real threat. After three rounds of pure pressure, Moore was crowned the first-ever Coffin Wars champion, etching his name into PLN history and setting the bar for every coffin brawler to come.
