Fight4Rare is continuing the fight against rare diseases with an upcoming Mortal Kombat 1 charity tournament.
The fight against rare diseases never ends, so after a successful appearance at EVO 2023, Fight4Rare is back with a new campaign. For Kombat October, Fight4Rare has teamed up with various streamers and prominent figures like unCAGEDgamez, @PaulyHype, and NotVeraGood to help raise $20k+ for a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital project.
Raiden Pham suffers from the rare UBA5 disorder. This project would aim to create genetic research materials to accelerate the cure efforts for UBA5 disorder.

In partnership with the INTERKONTINENTAL FIGHT KLUB, or IKFK for short, Fight4Rare will hold a Mortal Kombat 1 charity tournament on October 30. It will also mark the 1st anniversary of the Kombat4Rare Day.
The tournament will be part of IKFK NA Mortal Kombat Fall 2023 Week 6, post-patch that nerfed Raiden, Baraka, and Kameo Cyrax, so expect a more diverse and interesting pool of fighters instead of the endless Raiden/Cyrax, Baraka/Cyrax, Johnny/Cyrax combos you may be used to seeing.
The competition will be for PS5 NA residents. Interested players can sign up here.
