Pankration

You have watched mixed-martial art competitions like the Ultimate Fighting Championships. But many of you did not hear the sport called Pankration. This sport is the first ever form of mixed martial arts. It started in Greece in 648 BC, and it is combination of boxing and wrestling with submissions or even death of an opponent. Permament injuries happened. There were no weight divisions and no time limit. Fewer rules were applied. Competitors were killed, and this was a life-threatening sport. Imagine if we have this type of sport today with the same type of rules back then. Then many people would be killed and be outlawed in the world. Then we go back watching the UFC and the Pride FC.
