Basic rules
Strikes are used both in the clinch (standing) and in the stalls (on the floor). Compared to previous centuries, modern mixed martial arts have come to have many limitations. This applies to different aspects: the weight of the wrestlers, time limits and techniques. A decision was made about such changes, in order to preserve the general health of the athletes. Many country representatives accepted the proposal to introduce a ban on blows to the groin, throat, back of the head and spine, eyes, and many other vulnerable places. Also, there is a ban on bites.
The fight consists of 3 rounds, each lasting 5 minutes. Title fight can be 5 rounds
The place for the duel is also important. The arena must be octagonal, with a floor specially designed for MMA.
