FloSports is a subscription video streaming platform dedicated to sports, offering live and on-demand access to hundreds of thousands of competition events across 25+ vertical sport categories in the US and abroad. The company also produces original programs to complement our live streaming including films, documentaries, docu-series and now reality competition series.
FloSports’ mission is to provide under-appreciated sports the global platform and investment they deserve. One of those sports is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a form of submission fighting popular among mixed martial arts (MMA) practitioners. FloSports investment into this sport is evidenced through its FloGrappling platform – widely considered the premiere destination for live BJJ competition, news, analysis and original programming.
We are submitting a nomination for the SportsPro OTT Awards Best Original Content category for ‘Who’s Next: Submission Fighter Challenge.’ ‘Who’s Next’ is a reality competition series that followed the journey of 16 elite submission fighters as they battled for a $10,000 cash prize and three-fight contract with FloSports’ Who’s Number One, submission fighting’s leading live competition event series. Tensions boiled, hijinks ensued, competitors bonded and personal histories were revealed as the eclectic cast of characters lived under the same roof, competed in a series of physical challenges, and fought until submission in each episode. The high stakes challenges and gut-busting house pranks stood in sharp contrast with heartbreaking stories of struggle and sacrifice shared by the cast throughout the series.The 6-episode series debuted on our FloGrappling platform and streamed weekly through May and June 2022, culminating in a live-streamed finale in mid-July. The series was embraced by the sport’s community and achieved our objectives including outperforming subscriber acquisition and social media engagement projections while also building new stars out of the cast/contestants.
