Founded in 2025 by entrepreneurs Joe Merullo and Mack Meyer, MFL was born from a simple observation: Latin America has some of the world’s toughest fighters but lacked a premier platform to showcase them.With Mexico City as its home base, MFL exists to fill that gap — giving fighters world-class exposure, fans unforgettable experiences, and the region a combat sports league it can call its own. Our ethos is simple: fairness, spectacle, and opportunity for all.

Delivering unforgettable events with the highest action per second in sports.
