The promotion that brought car jiu jitsu to the masses and took phone booth fighting very literally, Fight Circus, has brought us some amazing fights.
Siamese kickboxing, head-only butts, wheelie and Indian leg wrestling, Fight Circus might just be the best fighting promotion in existence. But I want more. More dizziness. More violence. more.
I’m greedy. So today, I want to talk about five events Fight Circus can bring to the big show. Some accounts, some need the promotional finesse of Jon Nutt behind it.
Game of Death: A Tribute to Bruce Lee
Game of Death is a film starring Bruce Lee that was controversially released and posthumously. It revolutionized the way we think about movies and brought us the tower of villains we see in so many martial arts movies today.
Well, I want Fight Circus to do that in real life. Preferably in a five-story building. I want to see how far a MMA guy can get to the top. The first level: Karateka raise their heads. The second level: the sumo man. Third level: freestyle wrestler. Fourth level: Muay Thai fighter. Fifth level: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. (If they can’t afford Karim, any other MMA fighter would work, I guess.)
This would be pretty crazy if we’re being honest. Can you pass five people in one night? Mostly not. But it is worth seeing.
X-Arm, the fighting circus response to a power slap
Slap force kinda sucks. It is Fight Circus’s responsibility to provide a *viable* alternative. To combat that, we need to go ahead and dust off the Oole X-Arm table and bring back the combat arm wrestling. Seriously, get a load of this:
This sport is silly. But at least you can stand up for yourself and avoid getting hit unlike other sports we all face.
Viable = more violent
Wheel of violence on a round-by-round basis
The wheel of violence is very beautiful. Before a fight, two fighters do not know what rules they are about to compete under. The wheel turns, and the fight is decided. In the past, Fight Circus has held events in which the set of rules change each round. What I’m suggesting is that we should be allowed to decide. The first round is for the header buttons only. The second round is just spinning attacks.
This will ensure maximum violence and make the fight unpredictable. If we keep the same wheel of violence and assume a five round fight, that would be 7776 different type of fight that can be fought.
Kun Lun duel
Straight from Marvel’s Iron fist series, The Duel of K’un-Lun decides who wields the power and mantle of the immortal Iron Fist. In combat, two combatants are chained together with one hand and destined to get rid of it.
If Fight Circus can get K’un-Lun, they can submit the city and title as the winner. Or a cool belt with a fiery fist on it and the inaugural title of Eternal Iron Fist, a defensible title. Then we can trace the lineage through the centuries.
Parkour MMA
This can be controversial. Combine parkour and mixed martial arts. Angles, jumps and other obstacles to fight. Joe Rogan says fighters fight on a football field all the time because he feels the cage is not realistic in real life situations. I have never been involved in a fight in the middle of a football field. But indoors, this has been done many times over.
Let’s be safe and ban drop kicks and other things that can seriously hurt people and fill the entire arena. Also give yellow and red cards to those who run too far and don’t do parkour moves.
When you see these in the future Circus fight thank me card. I have a lot where this comes from.
Your friendly neighborhood fan fight. I watch a lot of fights and my wife lets me know.
