The aim was to bring fighters together from different disciplines such as Boxing, Thai Boxing, Judo and Jujitsu to fight in a no-holds-barred knock-out contest over the course of one evening. For many years the sport was banned in most countries until rule changes brought it more in line with other Martial Arts forms.
