Two athletes will go head-to-head in aBarbell Fight Club style format. Athletes will have an opportunity to train the exact title workout no less than 30 days from the championship event. This allows athletes to master the workout and showcase their expertise and extreme levels of fitness. This also gives the spectating audience a show unlike anything they have ever seen, watching pro level athletes go rep for rep throughout an entire workout. Hit that play button and learn all about the CFC and then be sure to tune in to watch LIVE on Saturday August 29th as Marcus Hayward and Derek Weida go head-to-head for the main event.
