Hey, so here’s the deal. The United Fight League (UFL) is back in action next month, and this time it’s all about defending some… civic pride, I guess? Anyway, UFL 6 is doing this whole team vs. team thing again. People seemed to love it last year, so why not bring it back, right? We’ve got Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo going head-to-head — well, not literally, I don’t think he’s fighting himself — with ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s team. Scottsdale vs. Orange County, folks. Hold onto your hats.
Alright, so we’ve got Cejudo and ‘Rampage’ (still such a cool nickname, if you ask me) each putting together squads of five fighters. Five bouts, bragging rights, you know the drill. They’re fighting at the Westworld Scottsdale Equidome, which sounds fancy. Is it just me, or does everything end up sounding fancier when you throw in “Equidome”?
Oh, and check this out: UFL’s got this wild point system. Last time, Team Vegas snatched victory from Team Phoenix at the last second. Felt like something straight out of a movie. Anyway, the whole scoring thing kinda makes it feel like a video game. Round 1 wins get you 4 points and it goes down from there. Yeah, speed matters here. Get your win fast, rack up points. It’s like speed dating but with punches. Come to think of it, totally better than speed dating.
Here’s a quirky kicker: if both teams end up with the same score — which would be some crazy drama — they count how fast each team collected their points. Fast and furious for the win, amirite?
And the head honchos can’t stop raving about it. Harrison Rogers, the guy behind UFL, is buzzing with all these ideas on how the league’s just going to keep exploding. New teams, fresh faces, maybe even a big TV deal. No pressure, right? Henry Cejudo seems all fired up too, talking about how the new point system forces them to think all strategically and stuff – like a game of chess but with more bruises. ‘Rampage’ Jackson? He’s hyped about the intensity. It’s like—everyone’s thinking about who’s gonna snatch that quick win, not just any win. Keeps the coaches on their toes, you know?
Moving to the main event lineup, we’ve got Kyle Stewart, a veteran of the octagon, facing off against Randall Wallace. And if you’re into family legacy stories, Reyes Cortez, brother to MMA star Tracy Cortez, is also on the card. UFL even covers its fighters with health insurance, which is something not a whole lot of promotions can say. Did I mention they offer shares in the company too? Spreading the love, or the wealth, I guess.
Catch the action live and free on Rumble, starting at 9.30 pm ET/6.30 pm PT. Check it out if you can — I’ve got a feeling this one’s gonna be a riot.
