FightGecko Combat Series 4 2026

FightGecko Combat Series 4 brings its founders-only fight card to Dubai on Friday 11 December 2026, this time inside the ballroom at W Dubai The Palm. Billed as Dubai’s biggest fight event for entrepreneurs and founders, it is a night where business owners, investors and executives who have spent months in training camp step into the ring in front of the city’s business community.

Real operators, real fights

The defining rule of FightGecko is that every fighter is a working business operator: a founder, investor, CEO or entrepreneur. Each has spent around three months in full-contact training camps, putting body and ego on the line before fight night. That gives the event a very different energy to a professional card. The crowd often knows the fighters from boardrooms rather than broadcasts, and the stakes are personal.

The FCS 4 fight card

Boxing forms the main card, with several names returning from earlier editions:

• Warren “The Mechanic” Spencer, a multi-millionaire entrepreneur who, according to the organisers, has previously faced Tony Ferguson and Dillon Danis
• Alan Graves, who built a 100 million dollar supplement empire and arrives with a record of seven fights and seven knockouts, having won the WBA title belt at FCS 3
• David “The Diamond” Weir, an eight-figure real estate investor and philanthropist fighting on his third consecutive FCS card
• Louis Anderson vs Josip Mijic, the first super heavyweight bout in FCS history

Around 20 more entrepreneurs from a range of industries complete the card. This edition also marks the series debut of K1 kickboxing, with three bouts added alongside the boxing.

Why the networking matters

FightGecko positions itself as much as a networking event as a sporting one. The organisers expect around 600 attendees, mostly founders, CEOs and high net worth individuals, all in one ballroom. That density is the point: you watch someone you might do business with go three rounds, then talk to them afterwards.

Ticket tiers are built around that idea:

• General Admission covers entry and seating in the General Admission area with a view of the full card, with food and drinks available to buy
• VIP Second Row adds second-row seats, a VIP entrance, access to the VIP networking area, food and alcoholic drinks throughout the night, and the chance to network with FCS fighters and VIP guests
• VIP Ringside includes the same VIP benefits with seats right at the ring

VIP guests also receive invitations to three further exclusive events across the weekend.

W Dubai The Palm on fight night

W Dubai The Palm sits on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Doors open at 5pm and the action begins at 6pm, running into the late evening. The organisers describe the hotel as a magnificent new home for the series, and the ballroom setting puts all 600 guests within sight of the ring.

To get there, drive via Sheikh Zayed Road onto Hessa Street and then King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street towards the Palm. By bus, route 84 runs from JBR Marina to the Mina Al Siyahi stop by Le Meridien, with a short onward trip. Taxis and ride hailing apps reach the hotel easily.

Who should go

FCS 4 suits founders and investors looking to meet peers in an unusual setting, combat sports fans curious to see amateurs with real stories, and teams wanting a memorable December night out. If you know someone on the card, it is a chance to watch them test themselves after three months of training.
