Is this event still going ahead ?

Look's awesome, I still don't see the point in light headshots though...

Yes mate event still going ahead. Are you entering?

I understand what your saying about the headshots, but the refereeing will be really strict making sure no-one breaks the rules, and wont be shy to DQ people

its way easier to set up takedowns and stuff with headshots included, more feints etc... just makes things a bit more interesting than the usual amateur rules

providing it works well we'll be holding more in future

if youre fighting the first thing you want to do is land a big shot would be hard not to land a hard shot

Its called 'control', if anything a competition like this will help fighters to control themselves when fighting as oppose to going out like a bat outta hell for every fight, keeping composed and thinking about a fight in a controlled atmosphere

the way I see it, theres points and continous tae kwon do, kickboxing, karate, etc etc... most with limited contact so if it works well in these formats, why cant it work in MMA

Just out of interest... whats happening with the name?

Kicks to the head????

[ufc_fighter]

yes light kicks to the head eg, front leg round kick but realistically with the light contact I wouldnt recommend throwing a light kick to the head because you'll more than likely get taken down, but the options there...
