Mr. 818 Mono vs. J-Rod: fade set for free Fooville block party in downtown Santa Ana

Mr. 818 Mono (@mr818_m0n0) and J-Rod (@jacob_rodriguez95) were set to "run the fade" at a Foos Gone Wild event in downtown Santa Ana, Juice Unlocked reported on Oct. 9, 2025.

The fight was the headline attraction at "Welcome to Fooville," a free block party on Saturday, Oct. 11. A flyer shown in the promo listed the hours as 2 to 10 p.m.

The trash talk

In a sit-down interview clip, J-Rod said the stakes went beyond bragging rights. An on-screen caption summed it up: his girlfriend told him she would leave him if he lost to Mr. 818.

"I got my hot girlfriend watching. I got my manager watching, all my sponsors," he said in the same interview. Asked whether his opponent's height would matter, he answered, "No, the height doesn't mean nothing, bro."

“My girlfriend said don't even come home if I lose the fight.”

A car on the line for fans

A second clip featured a masked host in a white Fooville hoodie, a hockey mask and a red clown nose. He said the event would give away a 2025 Nissan Altima, courtesy of Raceway Nissan.

To get in the raffle, fans had to buy a shirt, hoodie or hat at the Welcome to Fooville booth. Each shirt came with one raffle ticket and each hoodie with two. The host said he would raffle off the car at the end of the fight and called Fooville a brand-new event, the first one ever.

“I got my hot girlfriend watching. I got my manager watching, all my sponsors.”

Your call

Juice Unlocked asked followers who they had winning. The post did not report the result of the fight.

“This is a free event, downtown Santa Ana.”
