With a unique ruleset that focuses on precision striking, fighters showcase their skill and artistry, proving why they are among the best strikers on the planet. All strikes are limited to above the waist, while dynamic throws, sweeps, and ground-and-pound add layers of tactical excitement. Grappling has been removed to make sure the fight stays action packed and dynamic as possible with non stop entertainment.
