Twitch streamer Mizkif shattered expectations by transforming his passion project, the Iron Forge Gym, into an MMA battleground. 2024 became the year Mizkif transcended from a streaming sensation to a sports innovator, hosting the first-ever “Melee at the Forge” event.
Despite the gym’s financial losses, Mizkif’s gamble paid off, drawing in over 100,000 viewers across platforms and featuring title bouts that crowned champions Hayden Briers and JJ Smith. While challenges like audio issues attempted to mar the event’s success, the overwhelming support from fans and figures like Asmongold hints at a burgeoning legacy, proving Mizkif’s foray into MMA is more than just a fight.
