Oh, one in NJ in 2015: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/child-fight-club-lightbridge-academy/
This must have been where south park got the idea for the crack baby gladiator fights episode where EA sports bought the franchise then cheated the kids out of their cut.
I just looked it up and the south park episode is 4 years older than the story from 2015
I haven't watched South Park regularly in awhile. I should watch that it sounds like a good episode.

It's actually a pretty old episode. "Crack Baby Athletic Association"
