MMA Promoter Holding ‘Knight Fights’ In Between Matches (Video)

If you’re the type of person that enjoys attending MMA events, it’s safe to say that you probably enjoy combat of any type.  Well, the Russian mixed martial arts promoter M-1 Global has upped the ante just a bit with their latest venture.

In between MMA fights at their events, they’ll now be holding “knight fights,” where people dressed up in chain mail with giant swords fight each other for a few minutes.  Eventually, they’d like to turn knight fights into its own event, but they don’t quite have enough knights who are up for the challenge just yet.

Check out the teaser video below.  These guys are really going at it!
