What Is Stake Scrapyard?
Stake Scrapyard is a new Stake-branded combat-sports series announced by ABZ on July 26, 2026: “16 Man Tournament Style — one night, one winner.” The 001 in the name signals the intent to make this a recurring numbered series rather than a one-off, and the dedicated @StakeScrapyard account promises a standalone website soon.
The pitch is deliberately blunt — the event bio reads “designed for knockouts”. Two-minute fights in 4 oz MMA gloves leave very little room for a points game: fighters have one round to force a finish, and eight of them have to do it four times in a night to take the tournament.
Stake Scrapyard 001 Start Time
The show starts at 15:30 UTC on Saturday, August 1 — a daytime slot in the US and early evening in Europe. Converted from the times listed on the poster:
| Timezone | Start |
|---|---|
| PDT — Los Angeles | 8:30 AM |
| MDT — Denver | 9:30 AM |
| CDT — Chicago | 10:30 AM |
| ET — New York | 11:30 AM |
| BST — London | 4:30 PM |
| CEST — Berlin / Paris | 5:30 PM |
| EEST — Kyiv / Athens | 6:30 PM |
The poster labels the US East Coast time as “11:30AM EST”; in August the East Coast is on EDT, and 11:30 AM EDT is what lines up with the 4:30 PM BST and 5:30 PM CEST times printed alongside it.
Full Round of 16 Bracket
All eight opening bouts are confirmed on the poster. Only the Round of 16 is fixed — the quarter-final pairings come from a random draw once the first round is done, so nobody can map out a path to the final in advance.

The 16-man field spans nine countries — Iran has four fighters, Russia three, Thailand and Turkey two each, plus one apiece from Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Morocco and Azerbaijan. Bagher vs Saeed is the only all-domestic opener.
Format & Rules
| Fight length | 2 minutes |
| Discipline | Boxing only |
| Gloves | 4 oz MMA gloves |
| Bracket | 16 fighters, single elimination |
| Quarter-finals | Decided by random draw |
| Winner | One night, one winner |
Fifteen fights decide it: eight in the Round of 16, four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and the final. A fighter who goes the distance every time is in the ring for eight minutes total, which is why the two-minute limit matters — the format rewards whoever can end things early and stay fresh.
Who Is ABZ?
ABZ is an Australian Kick partner with just over 41,000 followers, streaming in English and leaning heavily on IRL content. Over the last 90 days his channel put up roughly 212,500 hours watched across 25 streams and about 100 hours of airtime, peaking at 11,049 concurrent viewers — with IRL accounting for 96% of that watch time, per Streams Charts.
That 11K peak is the number to watch on Saturday. A live tournament pulls a very different audience than a regular IRL stream, and Scrapyard 001 is the first real test of whether the Scrapyard brand can carry a channel of this size past its own ceiling. You can follow the concurrents live with our streaming stats tools.

What to Expect
- Fifteen fights in one sitting — eight openers, four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final, all decided on the night.
- A high finish rate by design: two-minute bouts in 4 oz MMA gloves give almost no reason to fight cautiously.
- No seeding after the first round, so a random draw can produce a lopsided quarter-final at any point.
- An internationally mixed field of 16 from nine countries, with Iran and Russia the best represented.
- A single free feed on kick.com/abz, with a dedicated Scrapyard website still to come.
