Austin McBroom delivered a first-round knockout over Faze Temper during the main event of Brand Risk 15 on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the Brand Risk Warehouse in Miami, Florida.
Saturday night in Miami brought internet culture and combat sports together once again as Adin Ross’s Brand Risk Promotions staged its latest card at the Brand Risk Warehouse. Moving away from the MMA setup seen at earlier events like Brand Risk 14 at the UFC Apex, the promotion returned to exhibition-style boxing with a stacked roster of streamers, content creators, and crossover personalities. Vitaly and Larry Wheels co-headlined a star-studded show alongside Austin McBroom and Faze Temper tonight in Miami. The entire event was streamed live on Ross’ Kick channel from 7pm Eastern.
Austin McBroom Knockout of Faze Temper in Round One
The main event pairing Austin McBroom against Faze Temper delivered an abrupt and violent conclusion halfway through the opening round. Both fighters showed confidence as they exchanged on the feet with McBroom all smiles as he set up his punches with Temperrr using his length and size to his advantage. Time and again, the fighters were just tempting fate as they stepped into the exchanges without showing much defense. That strategy backfired in a major way when both McBroom and Temperrr stepped into the pocket and they threw with fight-finishing intentions.
The first big punch McBroom lands puts Temper to sleep! He is having trouble getting up!
McBroom uncorked a hellacious left hand that landed directly on the button and Faze Temperrr went down on a heap on the canvas. The reaction from the commentary team and the crowd told the whole story as just about everybody involved got scared for a moment on whether or not Faze Temperrr was actually going to make it off the canvas. It was a jaw-dropping knockout delivered by McBroom to cap off the Brand Risk 15 main event. Bryce Hall could be next for McBroom at a future Brand Risk show, with Bryce Hall at ringside for this.
Larry Wheels and Vitaly Heavyweight Clash Ends in No Contest
The heavyweight co-main event between Vitaly and Larry Wheels provided an entirely different kind of drama. With a nearly 50lb difference between the pair it makes for a fascinating heavyweight clash as Vitaly and Larry Wheels face to face at the Brand Risk 15 Press Conference. Vitaly makes the walk and here comes the Russian, followed by Larry Wheels who makes the walk for his first fight.
Down goes Vitaly! Larry Wheels drops Vitaly viciously inside 90 seconds! Larry Wheels has suffered some sort of torn muscle and the referee has stopped this fight. Vitaly might win by a Doctor’s Stoppage. The Florida Athletic Commission steps in after that gruesome injury to Larry Wheels and the fight is off. They rule it a No Contest.
Undercard Chaos and Dana White Spotted Watching Live
The rest of the fight card kept viewers engaged with a mix of quick finishes and controversial stoppages. Bob Menery is back, and YK Osiris is the opponent. Down goes Menery inside the first 30 seconds, Osiris continues punching on the ground and while the knockdown is scored, he has a point taken by the referee. Bob Menery quits after 30 seconds; YK Osiris puts him down, continues to punch on the ground and Menery wants the full five minute break. This is despite the fact they’d only been fighting for 30 seconds. Referee decides enough is enough and waves it off, Menery has QUIT. I don’t know how the referee goes for that? He punished Osiris with the point deduction, Menery decided not to fight any more theoretically through the rule infraction and the fight is over with no winner. Supah Hot Fire defeats thereafter.
The event also featured other massive size differences on the card, including ‘Island Boy’ Kodiyakredd taking on 4’5 ‘World’s Strongest Dwarf’ Jeremy Smith in one bout, while 6’3 Anthony Proctor faces 5’6 Anthony Taylor in the opener. Meanwhile, high-profile spectators caught the attention of fans online. Dana White is watching – instead of UFC! Dana White and Hunter got caught watching Brand Risk #15 instead of their own event tonight, and the UFC CEO got caught on camera watching the show while the UFC Sacramento card was happening at the same time.
