Meet the ring girls
The HFC I ring girls, photographed in HFC kit with VULCAN, MIGHTY MECH and ADESAN-X.
HFC I has its ring girls. @elliemchristodoulou, @janisa.el and @katiegreen.fit will be at Margaret Court Arena on Saturday 21 November 2026 for the first fight night in the history of the sport.
On set with the machines
All three posed in HFC kit alongside VULCAN, MIGHTY MECH and ADESAN-X, three of the eight machines on the HFC I card. The kit is black crop tops and shorts, white trainers and an HFC wordmark that catches the light. VULCAN and ADESAN-X turned up in white trainers too.
Behind them, a screen shows the HFC cage wrapped in HFC.GLOBAL banners, with giant white machines throwing strikes above it. It is about as close to fight night as a studio gets.
The machines beside them
Two of the machines in the shot meet on fight night. MIGHTY MECH and VULCAN fight each other in the third quarterfinal, power against burst. On the card, MIGHTY MECH has the heaviest hands and VULCAN is explosive from the first bell. ADESAN-X, the range fighter of the eight, takes on BANG BANG in the second quarterfinal.
Fight night
HFC I is eight machines, seven bouts and one belt. Bouts run three rounds, a machine that loses once is out, and each machine is piloted live by a trained human operator. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the first bout starts at 7:30 PM AEDT, with Michael Schiavello and Sandor Earl on the mic.
The last of the seven bouts crowns the first champion in the history of the sport.
