The world of alternative sports is about to get even wilder as Pro League Network (PLN) rolls out the fourth electrifying week of its signature Friday Night Fights (FNF) series. Known for redefining what combat sports can be, PLN is the creative force behind some of the most unconventional, high-octane competitions on the planet, from slap battles to car-based jiujitsu.
With a mission to spotlight emerging sports and deliver adrenaline-charged entertainment, PLN’s weekly live events have quickly become a can’t-miss spectacle for fans craving something far beyond the mainstream.
Last week, FNF raised the bar with the jaw-dropping debut of Coffin Wars, a pulse-pounding contest that left viewers on the edge of their seats and set social media ablaze with reactions to its wild, coffin-centric showdowns.
But PLN never rests on its laurels and this Friday, they’re unleashing something even more outrageous, the FNF premiere of Ultimate Tire Wrestling.

What Is PLN Ultimate Tire Wrestling?
Imagine the brute strength of sumo, the tactical grappling of jiujitsu, and the raw spectacle of a demolition derby, all packed into a single, tire-filled arena.
Ultimate Tire Wrestling is PLN’s latest original sport, pitting six elite lightweight athletes against each other in a tournament where victory requires both brains and brawn.
The objective of PLN Ultimate Tire Wrestling? Outmuscle, outmaneuver, and outlast your opponent while battling for control of a massive tire in the center of the ring.
This isn’t just a test of physical power; it’s a showcase of agility, strategy, and sheer willpower.
Competitors must use every ounce of their grappling skill and creative thinking to gain leverage, lift their opponent, and dunk them inside the tire in a contest that’s as unpredictable as it is intense.
