Friday nights just got a whole lot wilder, and if you missed the Friday Night Fights premiere of Chest Chop on Pro League Network (PLN), you missed the sports equivalent of a TikTok trend going instantly viral. Week 5 wasn’t just another night, it was the birth of a new combat sport, and the energy was off the charts.
Picture this: two competitors, face-to-face, trading open-hand chest chops so loud you can feel them through your screen. No headshots, no dodging, just pure, chest-thumping pain and showmanship. PLN took the chaos of slap fighting and mashed it up with the over-the-top drama of pro wrestling, then handed the mic to the wildest personalities in combat sports. The result? A spectacle that’s already blowing up group chats and meme pages everywhere
The Main Event: Gary Gram vs. Johnny Dynamite
The night’s headline was a certified banger: Gary Gram versus Johnny Dynamite for the first-ever Chest Chop World Championship. These two have history, and the rivalry was dripping with tension from the jump. Both brought max-level showmanship, think taunts, flexes, and crowd work for days, but it was Gram’s thunderous chops and next-level damage output that stole the show.
Each round was a masterclass in pain tolerance and hype, but when the dust settled after seven brutal rounds, the judges handed it to Gary Gram in a razor-close 2-1 decision. Gram’s precision, power, and ability to turn his chest into a literal canvas of handprints made him the first-ever Chest Chop World Champ. Dynamite brought the fire, but Gram brought the boom.
Mark Coleman Steals the Show
But let’s be real, the moment that broke the internet was all about MMA legend Mark “The Hammer” Coleman. After the main event, with the crowd still buzzing, Coleman dropped the line of the night:
“How about it was so damn close, we go a couple more for the crowd.”
Challenge accepted. Gary Gram, still riding the adrenaline high, called out Coleman with a simple “Let’s go!” What happened next? Coleman ripped off his shirt, squared up, and took a massive chest chop from the new champ. The crowd lost it. Then, in true legend fashion, Coleman fired right back, delivering a slap that echoed through the studio and straight into PLN history. This wasn’t just a bonus round, it was a moment that had everyone screaming “run it back!” in the chat and instantly became the stuff of combat sports lore.
If you’re not already tuning in, you’re missing the most unpredictable, hype-fueled combat sport on the internet. The PLN crew just proved that Chest Chop is here to stay, and if this premiere was any sign, things are only getting crazier from here.
Tune-in to Friday Night Fights each week on Pro League Network’s YouTube at 10 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. CT and stay tuned to PLN’s social channels for the heart-stopping, adrenaline-pumping action.
