Combat sports fans are getting one of the strangest crossover fight cards of the year this weekend as Adin Ross-backed BRANDRISK 014 heads to Las Vegas with a lineup filled with internet personalities, former athletes, rappers, and viral creators. Scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026, the event has quickly gained traction online thanks to its chaotic mix of celebrity matchups and viral names.
The headline matchup features former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel taking on internet personality Bob Menery. Manziel remains one of the most recognizable former college football stars of the last decade following his electric run at Texas A&M and time in the NFL. Menery, meanwhile, built a massive following through his viral sports broadcaster parody videos, podcast appearances, and over-the-top online personality.
The co-main event may somehow be even wilder.
R&B singer and entrepreneur Ray J is scheduled to face Supa Hot Fire, the viral parody battle rapper who became one of YouTube’s biggest early internet meme stars. His intentionally awkward rap battle style and catchphrases turned him into a longtime online cult figure.

Interestingly, the official BRANDRISK website currently lists several featured fights as MMA bouts. However, multiple online reports and outlets have suggested the event could instead operate under boxing rules, which would align more closely with previous BRANDRISK crossover events. The exact rule sets for several matchups remain somewhat unclear entering fight week.
