A new sport has arisen within the fighting universe in Poland: Team Fighting Championship (TFC). If you’ve ever imagined what a professional looking, all out fight between two rival gangs would look like in an arena, this is it.
Two teams of five fighters are let loose in the ring, accompanied by five referees, where they punch, kick, and knee the living hell out of each other until just one team is left standing. The only major rules are that “forbid blows to the Adam’s apple, groin kicks, biting and spitting,” but there are no rules that prohibit the four remaining guys on one team beating the pulp out of the single remaining fighter on the other

I like it.
I looked at the video and agree that this is major step forward.
Awww, come on!
I suppose eye gouging is "forbidden" too.
Take away all the fun...
Blah... more trash tv.
How long before they start getting swords and tridents? Maybe have a few “spectacles,” like men fighting wild animals? And the audience could participate by indicating with some gesture whether the contestants — let’s call them “gladiators” — fought bravely enough.
It’s an idea fit for the times and the state of civilization.
and a narcisstic, malevolent self absorbed “leader” willing to destroy everything around him., oh ,wait. ok, that box is checked
Where have we seen this before?
I liked yours better!
When we went to England my wife had a long list of places to visit, but my list was short:
The “Hall of Pikes”.
Yes, it was awesome.
Knowing someone who has had both eyes gouged out in a fight, makes it less funny.
anything to make a buck.. how soon before grannies form their own team? to supplement their income.. of course.
no one willlingly would want to bash someone’s head in for fun, would they?

People really watch this kind of stuff?
It seems like the male equivalent of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, the only other show I can think of where they have groups of people that (cat) fight each other.
I think the last fight I watched had Muhammed Ali in it and I was still in college. I graduated in May of 1980.
Watching folks beat the crap out of each other, no thanks.
The team fighting concept is good back in the IFL days. That's where teams of fighters from camps have one on one MMA matches.
