Hock.THAT is the clip I saw.I agree.Its brutal but its still a match fight under controlled circumstances.

Hock:
"...claimming to be MORE EXTREME then the Dog Brothers..."

Hey, the Dog Brothers (and others too) exchange power head shots! Helmeted sure, but head shots that will "ring your bell," and the head is fair game. Therefore, with the head shot on the agenda? The DBA are more extreme.

As much as Marc tries to limit injuries during the DBMA gatherings, head injuries do occasionally occur, including some pretty serious bleeds and broken bones. I believe the DB fights are about as realistic as one can get without someone dying from it.

Hock:
In our Killshot format, we stop the fight immediately when a serious head blow occurs. He's lost. The recipient sits down and contemplates how his head was exposed. Maybe we'll do 2 out 3, or 3 out of 5.

This creates a system that better respects the head shot, makes you work for head shots to win and to better protect the head to prevent from quickly losing.

But, this involves judges and refs. And it is not much fun either as the other ways are. It can be over real fast and there is not a lot of ground fighting/wrestling (head shots count on the ground too).

But, no such "tournament" is perfect. It is a tournament and whatever the rules are...they are....

Hock

michael:
Very true, and it is important to be as safe as possible....even if that means it is less "realistic", whatever that is. ;D
