Friday Night Fights on Pro League Network (PLN) promised chaos, adrenaline, and something never seen before, and week three delivered in spades with the official league debut of Coffin Wars. For those new to the madness, Coffin Wars is exactly what it sounds like: two competitors, one coffin, and a battle to get out alive! With a lineup featuring CarJitsu and SlapFIGHT veterans, the night was set for a pressure-cooker showdown where only the toughest would survive.
Coffin Wars: Davis vs. Highsmith
The night opened with a high-octane clash between LaRoy Davis and Max Highsmith. Davis, one of the original Coffin Wars competitors from the viral Kai Cenat streamathon, showed why experience matters in the coffin. Highsmith fought valiantly, but Davis’s composure and tactical awareness shone through. After three grueling rounds, it was Davis who prevailed in sudden death overtime, securing his spot in the semifinals.
Moore vs. Chambers
Next up, Zac Moore faced Jonathan Chambers in a matchup that highlighted just how much prior Coffin Wars experience can tip the scales. Moore, another veteran of the inaugural coffin clash, made life miserable for Chambers in the first round, expertly keeping him sealed inside. When it was Moore’s turn, he stunned everyone by escaping in a lightning-fast six seconds in round two. The sudden death round was all Moore, he broke free in under a minute, punching his ticket to the semifinals with authority.
Coffin Wars: Cure vs. Glassburner
The third quarterfinal brought a stylistic clash, Cure, the lone SlapFIGHT competitor, versus CarJitsu’s David Glassburner. This was a war of attrition, with both athletes refusing to give an inch through three rounds. In sudden death, neither could escape before time expired, but a toe injury forced Glassburner to withdraw. Cure, battered but unbroken, advanced to the finals by default.
Coffin Wars Semifinals
The semifinals set the stage for a highly anticipated match between Zac Moore and LaRoy Davis, who previously competed in Coffin Wars’ viral debut. Both fighters dug deep, knowing what was at stake and what the coffin demanded. The contest was intense and evenly matched, with each man refusing to yield. Ultimately, it was Moore’s grit and relentless drive that made the difference, he edged out Davis in sudden death overtime, earning a hard-fought victory and a spot in the finals.
Coffin Wars Final: Zac Moore vs. Cure
With the crowd still buzzing from the semifinals, the finals pitted Zac Moore against Cure in a battle for the ages. Both competitors had endured the physical and psychological toll of the coffin, but Moore’s experience and tactical prowess proved insurmountable. Over three rounds, Moore dominated, consistently controlling the action and never letting Cure find daylight. When the dust settled, Zac Moore stood tall as the first-ever Coffin Wars champion on PLN’s Friday Night Fights, etching his name into the history of this wild new sport.
Coffin Wars Debut Delivers
Coffin Wars’ debut was everything PLN fans hoped for, raw, unfiltered, and utterly unpredictable.
