Not sure how many people here are familiar with UCMMA, for those that aren't its a UK MMA Promotion, its pretty ****, but then again its the UK, so you get what your given.

Then this happens....in between fights, they decide to do this.....Who the **** thought this would be a good idea.

Say hello to ULTIMATE BALL.....supposedly they expect it to be bigger than football..

The fact the promotion itself feels so cheap its one level up from a bar fight makes it even worse.

ULTIMATE BALL does have a website too which explain some random rules.
