Anyone who’s seen our events in-person or streaming live can attest to that.

From the fighters to the fans to BYB itself, everyone wins.” “Thank you to all those fighters who have put their faith in us and contributed to our rapid growth and success. These signings speak to our commitment to our fighters and our fighter development program,” he added.

Be ready for fireworks in Doral.” The Trigon was designed to promote confrontation in the center of the ring, leaving the results in the hands of the fighters and not the judges. Being the smallest ring with the tightest corners, the patented design has resulted in the highest KO/TKO rate in combat sports with over 90%.
