NEW YORK – Aug. 15, 2025 – Friday Night Fights, the flagship combat series from Pro League Network (PLN), will conclude its first season on Friday, Aug. 15 with The Gauntlet – a multi-sport finale of chaos and punishing combat for ultimate glory. Each of the six PLN Friday Night Fights teams have selected a representative to compete in the five-sport challenge, where they’ll run through CarJitsu, SlapFIGHT, Chest Chop, Coffin Wars and Ultimate Tire Wrestling on their road to being crowned the inaugural Friday Night Fights Champions.

In The Gauntlet, each team’s athlete will compete in a speed trial of every sport featured during the Friday NIght Fights season, aiming for the fastest overall time across the five sport stations. Each station will be manned by the top PLN athlete in each discipline, who will attempt to slow down The Gauntlet competitors.

First, the competitors will hop into the car for CarJitsu, where they’ll need to make Mike Cardiel tap in under two minutes. Next, they’ll have two minutes to dunk Jon Chambers in Ultimate Tire Wrestling before moving on to face FAFO in Chest Chop and Biscuit in SlapFIGHT. At each station, they’ll need to land clean strikes, with violations adding time. Lastly, the athletes will face Raven in two rounds of Coffin Wars, looking to escape as fast as possible and keep Raven trapped in the coffin in the second round. If Raven escapes, time is added to the score.

Competing in The Gauntlet will be the stars of PLN’s Friday Night Fights, as each team has selected their best all-around fighter. The lineup will include:
