GCP: The Scrapyard – Backyard Brawls to a YouTube Empire
The Grit City crew welcomes back Firechicken, the mind behind The Scrapyard — the Pacific Northwest’s biggest and most respected backyard fight organization, now closing in on one million YouTube subscribers.
From humble beginnings to working with major names like Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and YouTube phenom IShowSpeed, Firechicken shares how his grassroots fight community has become a launchpad for professional fighters — and a global phenomenon.
The crew dives deep into fighter culture, safety improvements, Streetbeefs drama, viral collaborations, and what it takes to build a respectful, welcoming combat community in the backyard scene.
