Alright fight fans, buckle up—because Pro League Network is closing out the first-ever season of Friday Night Fights with a finale so wild it should come with a warning label.
This Friday, August 15 at 10 p.m. ET, The Gauntlet takes over the internet and your screen, bringing five insane combat sports, six elite competitors, and one shot at becoming the first-ever Friday Night Fights Champion.
We’re talking full send, no brakes, and pure chaos—streaming live on PLN’s YouTube and the Twitch channels of Mizkif, CoconutB, American Dad, and Middle-Aged Stream.

What Even Is The Gauntlet?
Imagine the most over-the-top obstacle course… but instead of jumping over foam pits, you’re choking people out in a car, getting slapped in the face, chest chopped into next week, and fighting your way out of a coffin.
Yep. That’s The Gauntlet. Five stations. Brutal speed trials. Zero forgiveness. The fastest overall time wins—unless you botch a move and rack up penalty seconds.
Here’s the madness, station by station:
CarJitsu – You’ve got two minutes to make grappling legend Mike Cardiel tap… inside a car.
Ultimate Tire Wrestling – Dunk human tank Jon Chambers into a giant tire. Yes, it’s as exhausting as it sounds.
Chest Chop – Take and deliver earth-shaking chops to PLN powerhouse FAFO.
SlapFIGHT – Throw clean open-hand slaps against Biscuit without flinching (or crying).
Coffin Wars – Keep escape artist Raven in the coffin after busting out yourself. Fail, and say hello to more penalty time.
The Six Brave (or Crazy) Competitors
Each Friday Night Fights team picked their ultimate warrior for this chaos buffet:
Groundshark (Team Pink) – A jiu-jitsu wizard with swagger for days.
Zac Moore (Team Blue) – CarJitsu champ, wrestling beast, one-man highlight reel.
LaRoy Davis (Team Purple) – Athletic freak who’s dominated multiple PLN sports.
Steven Minski (Team Red) – “Mobile mechanic” with MMA grit and street smarts.
Black Larry (Team Green) – Fan-favorite knockout king and chokehold master.
Cole Owens (Team Gold) – Fearless CarJitsu competitor with fight IQ off the charts.
They’re fast, they’re tough, and they’ve been through every kind of physical madness PLN could throw at them this season. But The Gauntlet? This is different. This is survival of the absolute sickest.
Friday Night Fights has been the summer’s most chaotic sports rollercoaster—mashing up combat formats you can’t see anywhere else, building a cult following, and serving fights the internet can’t stop talking about.
Now all that hype comes down to one night, one run, and one champion.
If you’re into high-energy competition, meme-worthy moments, or just want to watch elite athletes put their bodies on the line for glory, bragging rights, and the crown—this is your main event.
