Kamran Farid: The Thumb Wrestling Visionary Behind UTL

Kamran Farid isn’t just the founder of the Ultimate Thumb Wrestling League — he’s the sport’s most iconic champion and myth-maker. A 10x world champion, Farid brought structure, spectacle, and soul to what was once a schoolyard showdown.

📖 The Origin Story

Before UTL, Kamran was already known for founding game-changing ventures in the tech and food space. But his obsession with grip-based dominance led him to formalize what would become the fastest-growing underground sport in the digital world: thumb wrestling.

🏆 The Championship Ethos

Farid’s mantra — “Thumbs tell the truth” — echoes throughout UTL arenas. Each match is a psychological battle. And Kamran? He’s been undefeated in formats that test everything from wrist strength to split-second reaction time.

Kamran has hinted at UTL's expansion into VR, merchandise, and even thumb wrestling academies. He’s also launching the Grip Grant — a scholarship for youth competitors who show promise in precision and poise.
