Almost every week, we hold castings in our Berlin studio with fighters who apply to join Fightplace. A test fight following such a casting sometimes shows that we cannot accept every applicant.

The reason becomes clear in this match between Carl, a guy from Berlin, and Nikolas, a Brazilian. Both of them genuinely try to put on a good performance, and Carl even works up quite a sweat, but the overall result is rather modest.

Even tearing each other’s shorts doesn’t make the whole thing much more exciting. Still, we don’t want to withhold this film from you. If you happen to have a different opinion about the fight or the fighters, feel free to send us a message.

The action moves straight to the wrestling mat. Neither of them fights like a professional, but both show enough determination and ambition to try to win the match. In the first round, things look quite promising for the Brazilian. But in the second round the tide turns, and the guy wearing the cap has trouble dealing with the extra weight of his opponent. He runs out of breath and lacks the necessary stamina. Wrestling really isn’t that easy - especially when you have to keep going over a longer distance.

In the end, Carl takes the win. He even seems to enjoy stripping his opponent and teasing him with ball grabs and a few other dirty tricks.
