Rumblr, an app that helps people find and engage in recreational fighting, is set for a test release Monday.
A beta trial version will go to the first 2,000 individuals who registered to use the app, and more than 78,000 people had shown an initial interest, per Alfred Ng of the New York Daily News.
While this might sound like a bit of a joke, the creators insist it's a serious proposition and that they have "substantial funding" to make a "Tinder for fighting" happen.
Per Ng:
"We have raised relatively substantial funding from private American investors and the app is fully developed," the Rumblr team told the Daily News in an email.
The beta for the fighting app will be launched on Nov. 9, at 5 p.m. EST, the team said.
"Rumblr is an app for recreational fighters to find, meet and fight other brawl enthusiasts nearby," according the app's website. It encourages users to insult their matched opponents with this pro-tip: "tell your match what you don't like about their picture."
If a fight is agreed, the location is made public so others can go watch, while there are filter systems for women (RumblrHER) and groups (RumblrGROUP).
The Daily News added, "The team was directly working with the iOS store to hash out legal issues preventing Rumblr's approval."
This all seems a little familiar...
The new No. 1 rule of fight club is that you download the app.
