FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AVON, OHIO — April 27, 2026
Athlete-founded supplement brand will headline a three-event combat sports series in Avon, OH, beginning June 5, with on-site fan activations at every fight night.
Legends Fight Series (LFS) today announced VTL Nutrition as the primary sponsor of its inaugural Friday Night Fights summer series at Crushers Stadium in Avon, Ohio. The partnership covers all three events of the 2026 summer slate, kicking off with Friday Night Fights: The Rising on Friday, June 5, 2026, and continuing throughout the summer under stadium lights in Northeast Ohio.
The series brings professional combat sports back to the open air, transforming ForeFront Field, home of the Lake Erie Crushers, into a regional fight destination. Each event will feature a stacked card of regional and nationally ranked fighters, with broadcast distribution on Combat Sports Now, reaching a national combat sports audience in addition to the live gate in Avon. Friday Night Fights is built as a true summer entertainment franchise: world-class athletes, family-friendly stadium gates, premium hospitality, and a hometown atmosphere.
A Partnership Built on Performance
“VTL Nutrition is exactly the kind of partner Legends Fight Series was built for. They’re athlete-founded, they’re built in the USA, and they obsess over the same things our fighters do — strength, recovery, and showing up at 100% on fight night. When we sat down with the VTL team, it was obvious they didn’t just want a logo on the octagon mat they wanted to be in the locker room, on the floor with our fans, and in the corner of every athlete chasing their next level. That’s the bar we set for primary sponsors, and VTL cleared it.”
— Aaron Boggs, CEO, Legends Fight Series
Why VTL Nutrition Is the Right Partner for LFS
VTL Nutrition is a premium, athlete-curated supplement brand founded by athletes who train year-round and got tired of cutting through the noise of the supplement industry. The company keeps its formulas clean and its lineup deliberate, with stacks built around real training routines instead of marketing trends. Every product is manufactured in the United States in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility, and VTL’s flagship Performance Stack anchored by Creatine and Replenish+ — is engineered to support strength output, muscle recovery, hydration, and cognitive clarity. In other words: everything an LFS athlete is asking from their body on fight night.
That alignment is what made VTL Nutrition a natural fit as the primary sponsor of Friday Night Fights. Both brands are built by operators who came up through the athlete community and both are committed to local roots with national ambition. VTL backs the local athlete community because that’s where its founders come from the same community LFS has been built to elevate. As LFS scales its platform across Ohio and beyond, VTL Nutrition will scale with it, putting premium, transparently sourced products in the hands of fighters, fans, and weekend warriors alike.
On the Ground: VTL Nutrition Fan Booth at Every Event
As part of the primary sponsorship, VTL Nutrition will operate a dedicated fan activation booth at all three events of the summer series. Fans walking through the gates of Crushers Stadium will be able to:
- Meet the VTL Nutrition team and learn the story behind the athlete-founded brand
- Sample and explore the full product lineup, including the Performance Stack, Creatine, and Replenish+
- Get hands-on guidance on building a stack around their own training routine
- Take advantage of event-exclusive pricing and giveaways available only at Friday Night Fights
- Connect with featured LFS athletes during scheduled meet-and-greets at the booth
The booth is designed to make VTL’s mission tangible: simple, clean, science-backed supplements that real athletes actually use. Fans don’t just hear about the brand on the broadcast — they get to put it in their hands, ask questions, and walk out with the same products fueling the fighters they came to watch.
