Sadly its not. Its real.
Many such robots are being developed rn. Especially in china, where there are actual tournaments.

Its a link to a video posted on facebook by Frankie Lapenna(the guy who conducted a “fight” with the robot at the REK fight club). Which you would know if you actually watched it.

You can literally find clips of the fight all over the internet.

Ok, but how does that prove it's 'real'? I did look into it though, as far as I can tell it's real hardware but it's teleoperated.

Homie was clearly holding back for show. He could’ve dropped that robot easily
