Another MMA spinoff: Shock Fights (with tasers)
By Brandt DeLorenzo on Mar 16, 2010
MMA writer (and photographer) Bauzen over at MiddleEasy.com just posted up an article on one of the most ridiculous MMA spinoff’s I have ever seen and I’m still reeling from just how bad this is. It’s far worse than YAMMA Pit Fighting, more ridiculous than XARM, and makes Instinct Fighting (“All Pound, No Ground”) look like childs play. Welcome, my MMA friends, to Shock Fights.
Here’s how to play:
- Attach 3,000,000 volt tasers to your gloves
- Remove any rules
- Try not to kill each other (or the ref) on your path to victory
Here’s a promo video that may pique your interest…and make you cringe.

Hello,
I come from a third-world, South American country and I’ve heard a very similar “sport” going around down there. It might be a little bit extreme, but I doubt anybody is getting hurt. One good thing really comes out from this: The money that these types of “productions” put out in such devastated economies really help these people. Some might call it exploitation, but when you only have $1 dollar per week to survive, a few extra dollars could really come in handy. Plus, the third-world mentality is soooo different to the U.S.; maybe, those things that we might think that may be violating human rights, etc. is actually something fun for the people down there. Believe me, I come from there. Lastly, after living in rural places here in the US and listening to my friends telling me stories about how they used to shock each other with car batteries, this is nothing! Good for these people if they are feeding third-world people. At least, somebody cares… sometimes, the mean does justify the end.
S.J., thanks for the reply. Although my situation is far different than yours, I still don’t see how this is safe for any fighter and worth the little money that is made. Why not start up real MMA fights in these countries, with MMA rules, instead of this bizarre “Shock fighting”? I bet people would still enjoy legal MMA just as much.
