- Title fights: No rounds and no time limit. There must be a winner and a loser.

- Win only via KO (knockout), TKO (technical knockout) and submission. Blood does NOT stop a fight.

- Kicks to the head, kicks to the head while the one who is kicked is down, elbow shots, stomps, knee shots, and even headbutts, all of these are legal. Only eye-gouging and attacks to the groin are forbidden.
