Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

Some of the abuse carries a threatening edge that goes beyond other sports.

Combat sports and social media are inseparable — fight promotion, trash talk, pre-fight build-up, post-fight reaction. It's how fighters build their profile, attract sponsors, sell PPV, and stay relevant between fights.

It's also where the abuse arrives. Racial abuse is endemic for fighters from ethnic minority backgrounds, arriving in waves before and after fights. Islamophobic and antisemitic targeting affects fighters whose faith is visible. Sexist and appearance-based abuse affects women fighters. And the nature of the sport means some abusers feel licensed to post threatening and violent language, framing it as fight talk while directing it personally.

The audience fighters build is the foundation of their commercial value. It's not something they can step away from.

The platforms aren't catching it.

By the time a comment is reported and reviewed it has already been live for hours. Reporting it to Instagram rarely results in removal anyway: 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) Threatening language in particular often stays up because it's framed as hyperbole or fight promotion.

Fendr is proactive. It removes abusive and threatening comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before they can amplify, before they reach you.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
