Anna V. Eskamani<\/a> says that the problems with the Duel Arena<\/a> event last Saturday go beyond \u201cwhat was displayed and said inside the arena\u201d and that the principals of the promotion shouldn\u2019t be permitted to hold events in the state ever again.<\/p>\n She notes that a full-contact event described elsewhere as a \u201cspecial attraction death match\u201d was \u201cheld outside the permitted card.\u201d A \u201ccharacter named \u2018FreakBob\u2018\u201d was booked and pummeled an opponent Eskamani described as overwhelmed. The match, because it wasn\u2019t cleared with the state ahead of time, violated Section 548.008 of Florida Statute, and would be a felony of the third degree, according to Eskamani\u2019s read of the law.<\/p>\n The Orlando Democrat also takes issue with a non-sanctioned referee handling that contest: the \u201conline streamer\u201d Clavicular<\/a>, used despite four sanctioned referees being in the Kia Center<\/a> at the time. Additionally, Eskamani notes the match was not included in the official record for the show.<\/p>\n Eskamani also questions the unsanctioned match being in the same ring as sanctioned bouts, changes to the advertised card, and a \u201cmismatch\u201d between the promotion\u2019s 202 pound founder and a 90 pound opponent that flouts weight limits.<\/p>\n While many public figures, including current Orlando Mayor\u00a0Buddy Dyer and the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida<\/a>, took issue with the Nazi display, Eskamani\u2019s current critique connects the hate displays with the lack of professional ethics of those putting on the event.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/rt_webad_728x90.jpg\")
