LOS ANGELES – March 6, 2026 – Foos Gone Wild and COMBATE GLOBAL have teamed up to create an exciting and unprecedented twist on combat sports competition, announcing the launch of a special amateur Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight series, “Foos Fighting Championship”.
The first of four 2026 Foos Fighting Championships, modeled after the wildly popular U.S. Hispanic urban comedy platform, will take place in Burbank, Calif. on Thursday, March 26, and air live in Spanish on the EstrellaTV broadcast television network, and in English on the Foos Gone Wild YouTube channel.
Tickets for the inaugural Foos Fighting Championship event are on sale at Ticketon.com.
Foos Fighting Championship is the brainchild of “Lil Mr. E”, 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.
“Foos 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 ‘SOCK CHECK’!”, said Lil Mr. E.
Lil’ Mr. E’s 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.
“Like any form of show business, fighting is personality driven, and this new fun amateur fight series will definitely have a lot of personality, guaranteed,” said COMBATE GLOBAL CEO Campbell McLaren.
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’ Mr. E have all emerged from the brand.
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.
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.
Foos Fighting Championship competition will be regulated by California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Association in accordance with California state regulations.
