I just recently discovered that there is a fighting tournament that I've never heard existed. It is called UFT (Ultimate Fighting Tournament), and held in Uruguay. Well, what makes this particular tournament different from the rest is that there are no rules, none at all. Eye gouging, groin strikes and bitting are all permitted. And I learned the champion gets paid 750 pesos per fight. Pretty sick huh?

 

Just wanted to hear other peoples comments.

Not something I'd want to be a part of. I can't check the site from work, but when I get home, I'll look at it. 750 pesos? I'm not up on my exchange rate...is that a lot?

[Dijita]

I'm not really a fan of it. It's just not really traditional. I heard too that it's somewhat set up, that is the fighters hold back a lot of their power and such. It's mostly for show and to make producers a lot of money.

Ummm looks like any other NHB tourney. Don't see any biting or eye gouging going on, and I am doubtful that it's permitted.

I'm not sure about South America, but in the Philippines you get over fifty pesos for one US dollar.

You're right, you don't know about South America.*

 

South America is not a single nation, anymore than Europe is. Currency differs in every nation.

 

In all fairness to these discussions and this UFT, 'no-holds barred' competitions were happening in Argentina, Brazil, and Peru long before the first UFC was experienced in the United States. Please people, the world doesn't revolve around the U.S.*

 

*yes... it's one of my buttons.

It's just not really traditional.

 

Why is that relevant?

It's just not really traditional.

 

Why is that relevant?

 

I'm not saying that it has to be relevant to other people. My personal opinion is that I prefer traditional type of competitions. I'm not trying to belittle anyone who doesn't share the same view as me... it's just what I like to watch. If you like UFC, or non-tradiotional martial arts, then thats great!

 

So sorry if I offended anyone, it was not my intention.
