Foos Gone Wild and Combate Global have teamed up to create a twist on combat sports competition, announcing the launch of a special amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight series, \u201cFoos Fighting Championship\u201d.<\/p>\n
The first of four 2026 Foos Fighting Championships, modeled after the popular U.S. Hispanic urban comedy platform, will take place in Burbank, Calif. on Thurs., March 26, and air live in Spanish on the EstrellaTV broadcast television network, and in English on the Foos Gone Wild YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
Foos Fighting Championship is the brainchild of \u201cLil Mr. E\u201d, the creator and larger than life on-camera personality of Foos Gone Wild, and Combate Global CEO and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) co-founder Campbell McLaren.<\/p>\n
\u201cFoos Gone Wild is excited to bring the Foos Fighting Championship to Los Angeles, home of the Foos, in collaboration with Combate Global. This is a new form of \u2018SOCK CHECK\u2019!\u201d, says Lil Mr. E.<\/p>\n
Lil\u2019 Mr. E\u2019s popularity has surged since he launched Foos Gone Wild in 2018, earning him recent promotional appearances at events hosted by several different household name brands, including Netflix and the WWE.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike any form of show business, fighting is personality driven, and this new fun amateur fight series will definitely have a lot of personality, guaranteed,\u201d says Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren.<\/p>\n
The fight series is the latest brand extension of Foos Gone Wild, which has attained cult hero status among U.S. Hispanic men, particularly in the Los Angeles area and several parts of Texas. Among its other extensions, Foos Gone Wild craft beer, plush toys, branded merchandise, and a live, touring, stand-up comedy series hosted by Lil\u2019 Mr. E have all emerged from the brand.<\/p>\n
The inaugural Foos Fighting Championship show will consist of five bouts featuring a collection of amateur competitors from Southern California, the biggest hotbed for Foos Gone Wild fans and culture.<\/p>\n
Fighters will be hand-picked by Lil Mr. E in tandem with the Combate Global fight operations team, and fighters selected will be announced on a later date.<\/p>\n
Foos Fighting Championship competition will be regulated by California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Association in accordance with California state regulations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foos Gone Wild and Combate Global have teamed up to create a twist on combat sports competition, announcing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-524413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
