Streamers Smash is a Mexican mixed martial arts competition created by LUX Fight League CEO Joe Mendoza. The competition consists of a single-elimination tournament featuring eight fighters who will have a streamer in their corner, competing for a coveted contract with LUX. [1] [2] [3]
In October 2024, Mexican MMA promotion LUX Fight League, together with marketing company Top Talent México, announced the creation of an event that would combine sport with the rise of streaming. On October 14, LUX CEO Joe Mendoza announced that there would be a press conference to reveal which streamers would be in the fighters' corners during the competition. [4]
Both the first two rounds and the semifinals of the inaugural edition of the tournament were held after a regular LUX event; that is, the two rounds took place on the same date as LUX 049 (January 31) and LUX 050 (February 21), and the semifinals were held after LUX 052 (May 15). [5]
The first final took place on August 22, 2025, during the LUX 054 card. There, Gerardo Sánchez and Zaid Varela faced off in a flyweight bout, which ended with a victory for Sánchez by unanimous decision, earning him a contract with LUX. [6] [7]
