July: Merab Fighter of the Year, Grant dominated Abu Dhabi, epic youth camp. August: 12 fighters, 7 promotions. Syndicate everywhere.
July Was Different. August Is Loaded.
What Went Down in July:
Merab got crowned Fighter of the Year. Not because of politics or popularity—because nobody works harder. Nobody breaks people like he does. That's Syndicate DNA right there.
Davey Grant walked into that Abu Dhabi cage at 39 years old and showed everyone what veteran savvy looks like. Got taken down early, defended a choke, then turned it up and broke Da'Mon Blackshear's will. Blood on his shin, hands flying, unanimous decision. That's how you do it.
Shanna? Another day, another W. Made it look easy.
Artur kept the momentum rolling with his own victory. Building something real.
Even Destiny got in on the action—took home a win in Slap Fighting. Ice cold under pressure. You love to see it.
But the real energy? Right here at home. Our Fight Camp had kids throwing combinations and laughing their heads off all week. Pure joy mixed with real technique. Then our in-house No-Gi competition turned the gym into an absolute madhouse. White and blue belts scrapping like their lives depended on it. Purple vs Brown belts coming next—if you know, you know.
August Is Stacked. Here's Who's Fighting:
The team's everywhere this month. Amateur debuts, pro debuts, title shots—we're taking over every promotion in Vegas and beyond.
August 9 – Samurai Soul
Alex Rodriguez steps up for his first amateur fight. Been grinding for this moment.
Haweo Fernandez Otsuja back in action.
August 16 – Double Header
UFC: Daniil Donchenko and Alibi Idiris representing on the big stage.
Fierce: Nasir Davis bringing that heat.
August 23 – Vegas Takeover
Tuff-N-Uff is about to witness history:
August 30 – Cage Fury
Annabel Kelly closes out the month. Watch this one closely.
Seven different promotions. Twelve fighters. One team.
This is what we built. This is why we're different. When one of us fights, we all fight.
See you cageside. 💪
