Interesting that they promote this as an amateur event. The winner gets €20,000 Euro's and the runner-up gets €2,000. The other 14 participants get paid nothing.



And it will be intersting to see if Yoel Romero can win this.

This is the most awesome thing I've seen since 2006. ttt

It sounds as if the rules are the unified rules of MMA with no elbows and fights will be contested with no time limit until KO or submission.



Matchups each round are determined by lottery.

Just imagine somebody like Frankie Edgar vs. Brock Lesnar. Would be interesting to see. Until Brock got punched in the face and turtled like a bitch.
