(Photo by Ed Mulholland/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCFormer Heisman trophy winner, Johnny Manziel is headlining an MMA/boxing card live from the UFC's Apex on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Yes, this is the most 2026 lede I've written all year, but it is a real thing.Here's all the information you need to catch Brand Risk 14, promoted by influencer Adin Ross.Key Facts at a GlanceEvent: Brand Risk 14 — "Manziel vs. Menery"Date: Saturday, May 23, 2026Venue: UFC Apex (Meta Apex), Las Vegas, NevadaMain card start: 8 p.m. PT / 10 p.m. CT / 11 p.m. ETMain event: Johnny Manziel vs. Bob Menery (MMA)How to watch: Free across Kick (kick.com/adinross), YouTube, Twitch, X and TikTokWhat Is The Full Brand Risk 14 Card?Per Tapology’s verified lineup reads like a B-list who’s who from viral videos, TikToks and YouTube shorts from the past several years. That said, it’s free to watch, which is tough to argue against.The full card mixes MMA and boxing across more than a dozen bouts, with the influencer and former-athlete names doing the marketing work:MORE FOR YOUJohnny Manziel vs. Bob Menery — MMA, main eventWilliam Norwood Jr. vs. DeWayne Stevenson — MMAMichael Beasley vs. Lance Stephenson — MMAAntonio Williams vs. Haskell Rhodes — BoxingGabriel Silva vs. Malcolm Peck — BoxingAnthony Proctor vs. Ethan Stern — BoxingAndrew Garcia vs. Deshawn Prather — BoxingBritton Norwood vs. Alvin Varmall Jr. — BoxingAlex Venegas vs. Jeremy Smith — MMAJohnathan Webb vs. Shane Chance — MMAD. Giannetto vs. Kyle Vazquez — MMABrand Risk's own announcement and several outlets also bill rapper Ray J vs. Supah Hot Fire as the MMA co-main, though it does not currently appear on Tapology's logged bout list.I’d suspect Michael Beasley vs. Lance Stephenson to draw more interest — if we’re being totally honest.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVrF3jqCYIsThe Beasley-Stephenson bout is the curveball, pitting two former NBA players against each other in the cage and giving the card a second recognizable hook beyond the Manziel headliner.When Are The Manziel Vs. Menery Ring Walks?This is a tough one to gauge. None of the official cards give a hard clock for the main-event walk. Based on the 8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. ET stream start and the typical pacing of a 10-plus bout creator card, the undercard should run roughly two to three hours depending on stoppages and segment breaks.That puts the Manziel vs. Menery ring-walk window at somewhere around 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. PT, or 2:30 to 3:30 a.m. ET. In the U.K. that translates to roughly 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. GMT on Sunday, and around 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. CET across central Europe. Every card consistently frames Manziel-Menery as the very last fight of the night.If you want to watch Manziel trade punches with a commentator in a cage, plan on staying up late on the West Coast or catching the replay everywhere else.Should You Stay Up For Brand Risk 14?This is influencer fighting in its purest form, so manage expectations on the technical product. Then again, if you’re reading this, you probably already know what to expect.Neither Manziel nor Menery has professional combat experience, and the appeal is the spectacle of a former NFL star and an internet loudspeaker settling a years-old beef in a sanctioned cage. Many have wondered if Menery will even show up for the fight.If you’ve followed the genre, you know the formula by now. ARoss’ Brand Risk brand has built a lane staging chaos between unlikely combatants. Thankfully for Brand Risk, this event lands during a UFC off-week to slot cleanly into the Apex.For me, it would normally be a replay-the-next-morning event rather than a stay-up-til-3-a.m. one, but the curiosity factor is undeniable and people will want to know what happened. So, I’ll be here to fill you in.It also caps a weekend of crossover oddities, arriving the same day as Oleksandr Usyk’s spectacle against a kickboxer at the Pyramids of Giza. Combat sports is a wacky place to work.
