Twitch streamer Matthew “Mizkif” hosted an MMA match at his Iron Forge gym in Austin, Texas on June 1, 2024. The event, named Melee II, featured star-studded casters, including Will “WillNeff”, Phillip “EEvisu”, and UFC star Renato Moicano.
However, the event took an unexpected turn when a brawl broke out between two competitors, Isnaurys Reyes and Hayden Briers. After Reyes, wearing blue gloves, tapped out against his red-gloved opponent Briers, he allegedly approached the seated Briers and indecently exposed himself.
This incident led to a crowd forming around the two fighters, including officials and both fighters’ camps. As a subsequent altercation ensued between the two parties, Mizkif revealed on X that Reyes had been arrested for indecent exposure inside the octagon and would face a six-month suspension from fighting.
“Context. this fight happened, and the guy who lost whipped his d**k out in front of the audience, and was arrested. He is suspended from fighting for 6 months,” Mizkif wrote.
Mizkif co-owns the Iron Forge gym with fellow streamers such as Knut and Wake Wilder, and often uses the establishment to host various events. Melee II was the second MMA event hosted at the gym, with the first iteration taking place in February 2024.
Mizkif is a passionate MMA fan and had attended the UFC 300 card in Nevada, where he had the opportunity to interact with celebrities, including actor Chris Pratt, who was familiar with Mizkif’s work, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
