4 fake Venum stores promise up to 80% off, and 3 share one hosting network

Four live storefronts are passing themselves off as Venum: venumgear.com, venumoutlet.com, venumstore.shop and venumpro.com. Three resolved to IP addresses on the same hosting network. Our domain sweep checked 100 Venum lookalike domains and found 28 registered or live.

venumgear.com's winter sale was still running in September

Venum's homepage is a dense combat-sports store: a black promotion bar offering up to 70% off gloves, protectives and UFC apparel, the fang logo on the left, a long category menu and a collage of grappling photos.

venumgear.com keeps the logo in place and rebuilds the menu, then swaps the hero for a winter sale of up to 50% off selected items. The banner is dated January to February and was still up when we captured it in late September. venumpro.com leans on atmosphere: a dark fight-gym photo, a Venum-branded heavy bag and a Summer Sale Last Call banner promising up to 70% off.

Venum was already advertising 70% off. The fakes matched it and passed as part of the same promotion.

What we caught

01 · Venum's menu, almost word for wordHeader

All four stores put the Venum fang logo where the official site does. venumgear.com also copies the menu almost word for word: Sales, New, Men, Women, Kids, Collections, Equipment, Custom, Venum x UFC.

02 · Gear, outlet, store, proRegistration

Each domain adds one retail word to the brand. venumoutlet.com was registered on 7 February 2026, venumgear.com on 21 June and venumpro.com on 19 July.

03 · A $99.99 UFC tee for $30Pricing

venumgear.com promises up to 80% off and free shipping. venumpro.com cuts a $99.99 UFC T-shirt to $30.00, and venumstore.shop marks a $31.99 youth T-shirt down 70% to $9.60.

04 · 3 stores, one hosting networkInfrastructure

venumgear.com, venumstore.shop and venumpro.com resolved to IP addresses on the RASHOST-US network, registered to Beijing Ruihao Kai Yuan Technology Co., Ltd. All three used Cloudflare nameservers.

3 of the 4 stores share one hosting network

venumgear.com resolved to 188.244.119.138 and venumstore.shop to 188.244.119.61, two addresses in the same block. venumpro.com resolved to 80.71.144.146. All three addresses sit on the RASHOST-US network, and all three domains used Cloudflare for DNS.

Shared hosting doesn't prove a shared owner. It does give you one provider to approach with three cases at once. The fourth store, venumoutlet.com, sat behind Cloudflare's proxy, which hides the server that actually hosts it.

All 4 rated likely copycats, up to 89% similar

The visual assessment rated all four stores likely copycats: venumgear.com at 89% similarity with 96% confidence, venumoutlet.com at 88% with 95%, venumstore.shop at 84% with 92% and venumpro.com at 78% with 93%. Page text barely overlapped with Venum's homepage. The match came from the logo, navigation, category and retail presentation combined.

The stores also show signs of reused templates. venumoutlet.com carries the Venum logo, but its best sellers were other brands, including Nike ACG, Stüssy and Puma. venumpro.com's page title was left over from a chat pop-up, and venumstore.shop filled its homepage with generic reviews and a hero image that failed to load.

24 other domains: parked, for sale or redirected

venumshop.com was listed for sale at $2,246, and venum.store, venum.net and venum.site were parked on domain marketplaces. venumfight.com redirected into an unrelated advertising feed. venumboxing.com and venummma.com both forwarded to a separate product brand that also uses the Venum name.

venumeurope.com was the closest call. Registered on 24 July 2026, it runs a Portuguese-language store branded STRIKEFX that stocks Venum collections. The scanner scored it 41% and didn't classify it as a copy, but a brand-name domain selling the brand's products belongs on a watch list.

How to shut it down

The takedown plan, step by step, built from the evidence above.

1

Archive all 4 stores before they rotate

Capture homepages, product pages, discount claims, checkout paths, DNS records and registration dates before the operators move domains.

2

Send the shared host one package

Cover venumgear.com, venumstore.shop and venumpro.com in one evidence package to the hosting provider behind all three.

3

Unmask venumoutlet.com through Cloudflare

Use Cloudflare's abuse process to identify the origin host, then file with that provider directly.

4

Monitor retail-word Venum domains

Watch new Venum domains that add gear, outlet, store, pro or shop, plus new sites on the same hosting network.

Summary

Venum's own sales give the fakes cover

Venum runs real promotions of up to 70% off. That makes a store promising 80% look plausible, and a shopper who buys there thinks they got a Venum deal. If the order disappoints, Venum hears about it.

Four stores looked like four problems. Mapping the hosting turned three of them into one enforcement target.
