Flex Fight Series is New York's premier professional combat sports promotion, producing elite mixed martial arts events throughout the Northeast while serving as a proven pathway to the UFC.

With more than 100,000 live attendees, millions of annual broadcast impressions, and one of the fastest-growing audiences in regional combat sports, Flex Fight Series operates at the intersection of live sports, entertainment, media, and brand partnerships.

This fall, interns will have the unique opportunity to be part of the largest event in company history:

Flex Fight Series 62 at the Infosys Theater in Madison Square Garden – September 26, 2026.

From event week preparations to fight night execution, interns will work alongside our leadership team during one of the biggest moments in the company's history.

The Flex Fight Series Combat Sports Intensive is a high-performance, hands-on program built for individuals serious about building a career in the business of combat sports.

This is not observational.

This is not administrative.

You will be directly involved in the execution and growth of a live sports property.

Interns gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of the organization, including:

• Event Operations & Live Event Production
• Marketing, Branding & Digital Content
• Fighter Relations & Talent Coordination
• Business Development & Sales Support

Responsibilities grow throughout the semester based on initiative, performance, and organizational needs.

• Duration: 4 Months (September through December)
• Format:
  Fully In-Person (New York-based)
• Capstone
  
  Experience:
  
  Direct involvement in the Flex Fight Series event at Madison Square Garden

This is a hands-on role that requires physical presence at events, meetings, and key operational moments.

We are seeking highly motivated individuals who:

• Want a career in sports, entertainment, or combat sports specifically
• Are comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
• Take ownership and execute without constant oversight
• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Are willing and able to work nights and weekends around live events
• Can commit to a fully in-person schedule throughout the program

Prior experience is valued, but not required. Work ethic, attitude, and coachability matter more.

We are moving quickly.

• Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis
• Interviews will be conducted within days of applying
• Every applicant will receive a response

Spots are extremely limited.

This program is designed to give the next generation of combat sports professionals real access, real responsibility, and real experience at a pivotal moment in the growth of a major regional promotion.

If you’re serious about breaking into the industry—this is where you start.

Please do not apply for this role if you are unable to consistently appear in-office in Bay Shore, NY. There is no opportunity for remote work within this internship program.
