New Fight Concept...please read!
ok i was thinking about the IFL the other night when i was trying to exlpain the team aspect of the MMA IFL league. what was funny was when i said there are five fighters from each team, the person i was trying to explain the IFL to thought by team format aka 5 fighters from each side meant ALL 10 fighters in a ring of some kind at once aka a royal rumble or something!!
what a cool idea!
i know MMA/fighting sports are in general, an individual sport, but wouldnt it be cool to see 5 on 5 MMA? i know this isnt ideal because you would only be able to watch any two fighters at a time and the rules would be extremely complicated like are people allowed to gang up, the number of refs and judges, etc, etc, etc....however its just something i thought could be cool...moreover it would be nice to discuss some possible ways and/or variations to make something like this work.
maybe a mini submission-take down only "tournament" with all 10 fighters at once. aka each team 5 guys and if you submit/lose you leave the "ring". and you are allowed to sub in fighters to achieve better match ups. so say fighter A from team#1 submits fighter B from team #2, team1 would have 5 fighters left against team2's four men. then if fighter A was a better matchup against a remaining fighter on team #2 he could be "tagged" in like pro wrestling or something and take his place. this would make for some really interesting strategy and matchups/
do not flame or say this is stupid. i know its stupid but people thought a team concept a la IFL was stupid in MMA and it is proven to be a valuable new aspect of the MMA world and helps at commercializing this sport.
p.s.
2 on 2 matches, 3 on 3, etc ,etc
