What is Medieval MMA?
Medieval MMA was made popular by the Russian promotion M-1 Global. Here, the swords used by the fighters weigh 4.4 lbs and are blunted to prevent life-threatening injuries. The armors, meanwhile, weigh around 44 lbs.
Apart from attacking each other with weapons, opponents can also punch, kick, knee, and use their limbs. The bouts are scheduled for a certain number of rounds, which could go to a decision, and a finish could also happen.
