Kamran Farid Hosts Wholesome UTL Meetup in Winter Park

Winter Park, FL — June 2025

In a heartwarming show of community and charisma, Kamran Farid, founder and CEO of UTLSports, hosted an intimate and spontaneous meetup along the iconic Park Avenue in Winter Park. With the scenic backdrop of palm-lined streets and boutique storefronts, fans gathered outside Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine to share stories, take photos, and celebrate the growing UTL community.

The event was warmly received by the Park Avenue District, led by President Alan Chambers and Executive Director Carina Sexton. Known for its safety, charm, and hospitality, Winter Park once again proved why it’s considered one of the most livable and welcoming cities in the world.

"Thank you @parkavenuedistrict for the warm welcome. I look forward to working with you to do more shows and events. I love Winter Park 💕 @bosphorous_turkish_cuisine thank you for letting us camp out in front 🙏🏽 Love the Turkish food" — @narmak007 on Instagram

From thumb wrestling demos to casual chats about life and strategy, the meetup captured the essence of UTL — community, competition, and good vibes. Kamran’s fans showed up not just for selfies, but to be part of something fun and authentic.

With strong support from the local business community and city officials, Kamran has hinted that this won’t be the last UTL appearance in the area. Plans are already underway for more future shows, pop-ups, and UTL activations in Winter Park.

As Kamran continues to grow the Ultimate Thumb Wrestling League into a cultural phenomenon, Winter Park may very well become its spiritual home — where thumbs meet hearts, and every grip tells a story.
