This Saturday, February 8th, the 3rd edition of Dynamite MMA takes place at the Sud de France Arena. A sport where almost anything goes, which continues to gain popularity.
1/Legalized in France since January 2020
MMA is one of the last sports to be legalized in France. Banned for many years due to the violence of its fights, this sport continues to gain popularity in France.
Since the discipline was authorized five years ago, many organizations have been able to set up in France, filling the halls in a few minutes, as for the fight between the two Frenchmen Cédric Doumbè and Baki, who filled the Accor Arena in 20 minutes, Doumbè having declared “Even Beyoncé, she doesn't do that!”
2/The rules: 3 rounds of 5 minutes, no blows allowed
In this discipline, the fight is organized in three rounds of five minutes. To win the match, several scenarios are possible: a submission, a KO, a technical KO decided by the referee, the doctor, or the team, and disqualification. If the fight goes to the end of three rounds, the winner is declared by the decision of the three judges based on the scores awarded during the duel. (10 points for the winner, less for the loser)
In this sport seen as violent by many, some blows are still illegal. Blows to the nape of the neck, the neck, the spine, the genitals. But also pushing your fingers into an eye or any orifice, throwing the opponent on the head, biting, kicking an opponent on the ground, headbutting, or twisting a finger. These gestures made to protect physical integrity, can make the fighter lose points, or simply lead to his disqualification.
