Cejudo also revealed that the event is unlikely to be open to the public.

“It is not going be open just like to the public like it is going to be a pretty cool invite-only league. I believe it is going to revolutionize a lot. It reminds me a lot like the apex, but it is just a little bit better because these people took over a whole TV studio and it is an arena. It is super cool and I cannot wait,” Cejudo added.
