The ring |
San Miguel Whapaak competition |
Girls are given the chance to slug it out. But... |
The pro fighter is not allowed to hit back |
Some let out a lot of pent up frustration |
She's only 15... Behave. |
Wow! A knockout even before the fight starts! |
One of the champions |
Peace, bro |
Hit... |
...and miss. |
Hit me if you can |
Hell hath no fury... |
...as two women scorned |
The national anthem was done in grunge rock |
The crowd came out in full force... |
...to see the girls, of course |

Mixed Martial Arts |
It always ends up on the ground |
The nice thing about this sport is... |
When there's no action for about 30 seconds... |
They break it up. |
Capacity Crowds love every second of it |
These guys use the small gloves because... |
This is Mixed Martial Arts with submission |
And it always usually ends like this. On the ground. |
