Organizer REK claims to have hosted the world's first human vs. robot fight: a 6ft-tall humanoid robot faced a human fighter in the ring. The poster frames it as an early real-life Real Steel/Terminator moment — while GTA 6 still isn't out. Footage is on YouTube, with debate over whether it's genuine combat sports or staged entertainment, and whether robot fighting leagues can go mainstream.
