News Summary

  • Last month, YouTuber Frankie LaPenna fought three different robots from REK.
  • The California State Athletic Commission was also concerned about the event.
  • It sent a cease-and-desist letter on September 30, demanding that REK stop hosting, promoting or sponsoring these fights.
  • It's a misdemeanor to promote or participate in a boxing or martial arts contest, match, or exhibition, involving any human in the state of California, without a license, the letter says.
  • But don't be surprised if the fights simply move to another state or country.
WTF?! You might think there are plenty of reasons why a real person shouldnt fight a humanoid robot in a cage match, but it happened anyway.
