Fights will take place inside a 24ft cage. Corners will wrap hands with bandage (no canvas) and no taping over the knuckles of the fighter, this will be checked by the ref. Corners will be allowed to apply vaseline to the face only. No thai oil or any other oils allowed in mma bouts.
Fights will be won by: referee’s stoppage (if a fighter is deemed to be in trouble and can’t defend himself (tko)), knockout, submission by the fighter (verbal or otherwise) or by judges decision at the end of the fight. If there is no workrate on the ground then the referee may restart the fighters from a standing position after first warning the fighters to work. All fighters must wear a groin guard and gum shield. 3 cornermen will be allowed entry per team, and 3 cornermen will be allowed in the corner whilst fights take place, with only 2 of these being allowed into the cage in between rounds.
