Could an actual kumite be pulled off?

[Glitch]

Like if a deranged billionaire decided to hold an anything goes martial arts tournament(with practically no rules), and holds it on an off-shore platform in international waters. So technically lawmakers couldn't do anything outside of complaining about "human cockfighting".
And then invites fighters crazy enough to risk broken bones,torn skin or gouged eyes to fight.

And course he holds it annually and pays it off by live ppv charges and tickets to the event(or could just take the cost for his own expensive amusement).

So yeah, what would happen? lol

[Raskovnik]

I would win. I've seen Gymkata four times.

Naw, as much as I would like for it to.

Even if the event went down, it would just be MMA. The days of Van Dam movie/video game fighting tournaments where everyone is a uniquely skilled individual are behind us. You'd just end up with a bunch of tribal tat meatheads that know about the same amount of stuff putting on some slopbuckets.

That's why you only invite guys who can shoot fireballs and lightning. That's where ufc went wrong.

My money would be on Furious George.

Also the Kumite was real as shit my friend. Frank Dux has the trophy(and receipt for it).

[Cela]

Sure, we wouldn't see it.

[Johnny B. Decent]

Yeah, it was called the early UFC.

[Lupin the Third]

I'd rather see a "Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts Tournament."

Only if we can summon forth zombie Bruce Lee to compete.

But then half the matches would consist almost entirety of screaming and staring followed by a single punch every ten minutes or so.

That just means you can take punishment. Can you dish it out?

Though it's very different from what most people have in mind when they hear the word "kumite". The real one, the 100-man kumite, is an endurance test where one martial artist spars against 100 opponents of at least equal rank in quick succession, only allowed a 60 seconds rest between fights, and the goal is to beat at least half of them.

Not until we finally get to see Mike Tyson box Secretariat first.

I meant the Dragon Ball version of "Strongest Under the Heavens Martial Arts Tournament." Before the Saiyans arrived.

[DiBiase is Good]

Heh, pulled off.

[The Shareholder is nude]

human cockfighting....hehehhehe....

Seriously, as someone who spent a lot of time in SE Asia, I can confirm 100% this sort of tournament exists, and I am not talking the Kumite, I mean the real Mortal Kombat type death tournament. It exists, its held every few years, people die, the location changes, but its there, I've seen it.

[Just call me D.j.m.]

Well, probably not, since Liu Kang & Earthrealm have it on lock.

Brock Lesnar enters and wins in 5 seconds, when all 100 forfeit.
