not sure if a thread about it has been posted here.

anyway, recently videos are being recommended to me by YouTube and it is about a 2V1 MMA fight, at first I was curious and thought about how would this work and how unfair it would be for the 1 guy but to be honest I find the fight intriguing and enjoyable. now I am curious, do you think this type of fight would be popular in sportsbooks? to be honest, I think this could get popular if enough hype is put into it.

if anyone is curious here's the most recent fight that I have watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyfQRhGwcRk

this may seem absurd to some people, but after i watched the fight and saw the mma guy completely destroyed the two guys, it seemed like a pretty exciting fight to watch. but i'm not sure that 2vs1 fights like this can be as popular with many people as 1vs1 matches like mma in general, because seeing how 2 people fight 1 person is still unfair, but i see the potential of a fighting system like this in mma.

I think I love to see this type of fight in sportbooks because it will definitely give a huge win   ;)

But what I don't know is the possibility of seeing it, it been popular as 1v1 is the regular and most common. But with the hypes it could get a little attention.

Before such a fight would be acceptable it means the single guy or fighter most be a strong fighter will potential of withstanding two fighters if not he will get the worst beating of his life time.

I think I enjoyed the video on the link, the two guys are weaklings  ;D not a single defence all they did was to fall into fight with their last strength. Hilarious!

This is the first time I have seen something like this, below this video there are several other similar 2 vs 1 fights, I even watched one 3 vs 1 fight. Total madness, even though all the battles were won by those who were alone, I can't say I enjoyed watching. I know that people are willing to do a lot to make a show, but something like this seems a little too crazy to me.

I wouldn't say that this kind of fighting will be taken more seriously in the future, it seems somehow too unfair, but if I'm wrong and something like this becomes popular and enters the bookies, I don't believe that I will follow this "new sport" and I certainly won't even bet on something like this.

Nice fight, and it was very funny to see how the two guys were rushing the MMA guy in the beginning, but after a while they were both on the ground unable to stand up. From what I understand in this fight the other two guys are not strong and skillful compared to Cesar. When Cesar was been introduced, he was introduced as the modern gladiator in Spain. That shows he is the latest champion, that was what made it easier for the win.

In future, we can see games like this in the casino, because it will be fun, just like I enjoyed this fight. Two weak fighters against a strong fighter, no one will know who will win, which makes it more entertaining and worth betting on.

I would not watch or support such kind of activity, as this does not look like sport and be fair, to me. First of all it isnt fair have 2 vs 1 kind of fight. Secondly, if that guy, who fought alone is more skilled, then why dont he face someone who has similar skill level? Thirdly, should rules of this fight be fair for both sides? I mean that the guy who fights alone should have some kind of advantage.

I watched it 'till the end. Is this an official match? It seems the two fighters were amateurs and the one is professional, as it would be really a disaster to one if the other two were professionals. Maybe this was an exhibition match as the fighters have different weight class (based on the video). Well this kind of thing were interesting if it's an official match, but I really think the one could have a disadvantage of the other two we're pro because they can lock out the one and then the other one just keep striking lol  ;D

I watch this fight in facebook long time ago and this fight is only possible since the 2 Fighter is not a natural MMA while the 1 guy is fully trained MMA. You can notice that the thin guy is already exhausted by receiving few blows on early stage of the game that makes it an immediate 1v1 that resulted to quick loss.

It’s very to win a 2v1 match of both you is not well trained because a simple rear choke can take out one of them.

I watch MMA fight composed of 3v3 match on octagon that makes it a royal rumble and fun to watch compared to 2v1 composed of amateur fighter.

Reminds me of wrestling tag team  ;D
Just a few months ago there was a Karate Combat in which retired UFC fighters were reviving their careers which is not so bad but this 2v1 is crazy. This one deserves a good speculation thread here lol I guess there isn't enough promotion for anyone who wants to fight. From UFC, PFL to Bare Knuckles and this 2v1 Dogfight Wild Tournament, there is always a career for any Jujitsu fighter.

Its disappointing though. If it were a UFC pro in there. Those 2 had already been knocked out. Rules seem different, why is the other guy not attacking nor choking, rare naked choke would have been done already.

It's a tricky event because it's one pro fighter VS two noobs, that way the pro fighter has a better chance to win. But i haven't seen this king of fight on any casino. I think most of the time wins the pro fighter, or at least most of the videos that i have seen is that way.

And if I'm not wrong that kind of fight only happens in Russia. Is more a fun event than a professional one, but i enjoy watching them too.

I am not really certain if the fight was professional or if the other two fighters were amateurs or not(but seeing how they fight it seems like they are). I really do think that with more polishing with their rules, safety measures, how they organize these fights and proper marketing, this could attract more people who are interested in the sport.

I saw a short clip of a 2v1 match where the MMA fighter and one of the fighters were grappling on the ground and the other fighter tried to kick the MMA fighter but was stopped and got warned by the referee, but the guy tried kicking the MMA fighter again and the referee stopped him again but this time the referee slapped him in the face.

anyway, I am not really certain about the rules but it's either the other fighter is not allowed to hit while the MMA fighter and the other fighter are on the ground or the other fighter is not allowed to kick while the other two people are on the ground.

here's the short clip I saw https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pTGtflZ10Z4

I guess that MMA is slowly turning into WWE wrestling(but I hope that it won't be made up like the American wrestling so called "fights"). ;D Maybe soon we will see 2 versus 2 fights or even everyone versus everyone fights. The rules can be changed for entertainment and marketing purposes. At the end of the day, MMA is more like an entertainment business rather than a real sport. I don't see MMA fights getting included in the Olympics anytime soon.
A 2vs.1 fight seems very unfair, but it would be interesting to see a 1vs.1vs.1 fight. That would be weird to watch and it should definitely be included in the sports betting platforms.

Enjoyable maybe for the fact that we would be curious on how the single fighter could able to defeat those two dudes in a match. But its really unfair for one single guy to fight a two skilled fighter in a match since two manpower is more better than one and they have huge advantage to win that fight. Also what I think that fight is scripted since they can easily beat that guy if they are really eager to defeat that one man immediately. I only see this one wrestling and I guess a scripted match is now slowly entering on MMA scene so hopefully they will not ruin the exciting match what real fights could able to  bring to those fans who's seeking more intense fight.

I've watched 3v3 but 1v2? That does not seem fair to me no matter how you look at it and since people enjoy MMA fights nowadays they make it more interesting for them and add these kinds of shows. As I watched the match, it gave me double excitement and I'm actually cheering that the 1 guy and he seems skilled enough to beat them and he actually won the match. Unbelievable, he demolished them both by letting them tire first and finishing them with knockouts and kimura.

Haha, very interesting, 2 against 1. When I clicked on your link, another video showed up where a 6'8 guy was fighting against a 5'3 guy, it reminded me of David and Goliath's fight because it really looks like this. There is also a slap contest where people slap each other with a huge power. Fighting is becoming very popular, I really was never a fan of fight and I don't remember any of my friends watching any kind of fight, including boxing and MMA but today it's really getting trendy.
2 vs 1 looks cool, I would happily see prime Mike Tyson vs 2 random guys. I bet such fights will generate more money than any other current fight. If they manage to agree stars to fight with 2 people, this thing will be one of the trendiest fighting events.

Calling it a dogfight tournament was perfection lol. Honestly I don't think there's anything fair about it unless possibly the weight class between the two sides was so massive that having two people on one side provides close to nothing in terms of advantage. Otherwise, It's honestly just a beating up showcase. 

Humans aren't exactly what we usually see in movies or shows that showcase possible 1v2 scenarios, especially in a fair match like this where both sides are in an equal environment. It can be enjoyable to watch for some since, well, a beatdown is something that can get your blood pumping if you're into it.

They've been doing this to wrestling for ages, and I can see its potential in MMA though not too certain on how things would go for the rosters and the match-ups for it to still be 'fair' for the one guy against the two fighters.


It's a strategy that could work honestly. Commonly, these two guys will always try to get the upper hand first and subdue the one guy early on in the fight. They think that since they are two people against one, they can easily win the battle. Unfortunately for them, the guy they are against know how to dodge, avoid, and conserve his energy.  :D

With proper hype, anything can trend, and while I watched the fight, I could only imagine that the odds for the one fighter going against the two will be very high because the chances of him winning is slimmer.

I do not think that many single fighters will be able to go against two good fighters. With two good fighters who have good coordination, they will be able to stop any one fighter set their way.

Maybe they see that wrestling is bit outdated and MMA is on hype since there's a lot of people following it or this sports have huge fan base that's why they try something interesting to see how people will adopt on what they see.

But I really find this ridiculous and unfair since I don't think there's no way for a single person to win on two guys. We are not in film and we are dealing reality here so I guess that's crazy act and this might ruin the reputation of this sports since many would think that everything happened their is unrealistic. We know a lot of guys want to see some realistic fight or intense action especially on physical sports.

It reminds me of the typical arena battles in different videogames, when two dps kill the healer of the opposite team at the beginning of the round, but the remaining character in that team still manages to defeat the two dps. Epic battles are like these.

Yes, I agree with the others that this format is enjoyable and has future. It all depends on how quickly they advertise it. Of course, the fighter who is alone must be way better than the other two so that the fight is fair, but I don't think that takes away the emotion, quite the opposite.

If we are talking about two people fighting against one at the same time, then to me this no longer seems like a gentlemanly and fair sport, but like wild competitions. In this case, the level of the opponents must be very different, that is, the fighter who fights against two must be much stronger, otherwise it will be very difficult for him to compete. I probably wouldn’t place bets on such events.

but the guy just did win, though, from the looks of it, the other two fighters seem like amateurs and aren't that well-trained compared to the MMA fighter. also, I don't think it'll ruin the sport, 2v1 MMA fight basically just increases the challenge the MMA fighter faces and it'll be hella impressive if the lone fighter wins the match. As I mentioned before I think this kind of MMA fight has a potential if they polish it enough like how they did in UFC.

You have said it - well trained person vs amateurs. It does not matter if they were 2, 3 or 4 opponents, a well-trained fighter has pain threshold greater than all of them. When it is enough for amateur guy to stop the fight after few punches to the face or low kicks, professional fighter can hold many of them.

P.S. Suppose those two win in a championship, they got belt and share it? Or each will get a half of it? :)

The skinny guy and the other fat man are just a joke. Can't see how they prepared for this fight but even the most unprepared featherweight MMA pro would KO a LH with one strike at the right moment which is what those two guys don't know what to do.

I don't know if this tournament is really regulated by the sports commission but I doubt something like this will be approved actually unless they are just a joke like the WWE.

That is also the reason why this fight looks unfair - all of them perhaps are from different weight class. Dont know how to comment on this except saying this is just a freak fight. Dont know how or why people like to watch fights like that, since there are also 3x3 fights, man vs woman under MMA rules, MMA fight in a very small cage (about 2x2 meters), a fight where one team fights against other but they do it one by one (if one member losses, he is replaced with other teammate), and they do in a rectangular and narrow ring.

I agree, it just pleases the audiences on this match but what if something bad happens to the mma fighter due to the imbalance on the number of fighters? Yes they're trained professionals but no one's certain of accidents and vicious hits that could end someone's career. This sport is meant to be played by two single parties and that simply means a one on one match unlike with other sports such as Basketball which are better being played by teams. I also agree with the idea of imbalance and possible inconsistencies of the match operations. This is the same with fighting someone on a higher level than you are.
A fight is a fight, anything could happen that can endanger a fighter's life. Quite against with the idea as well.

I understand that this fully entertainment and we should not consider such fights as serious. But if promotions will be lead by fans that asks for more and more entertainment, that what we would have next in future? Fights 3 vs 1, where that alone fighter has a knife? I am telling you, soon, fans will find such fights boring and would ask for more. In conclusion, I would not watch such events, that is not  sport.

I have only seen 1v2 in a Wrestling match before but it's okay because it was only built for entertainment and then they aren't still harming their selves too much because they are professionally trained. I haven't seen 3v3 yet and it seems crazy because the octagon ring in MMA is only small. Can't imagine the situation of the fighters inside it lol. MMA is already popular even before. That is because it is exciting to watch and they make it more exciting by adding variations like this.

It may seem unfair at first if we are new to it but not once we know that it's also possible for 1 fighter to win against his two opponents and the match won't be possible if they know that one fighter is not skilled enough.

At first, it did not make sense to me some organization or group decided to host a a fight of two versus one, since there is a clear advantage for the two guys, but after reading your post, it completely makes sense those two people to be amateurs while the single one being a professional fighter.
I believe there could be people out there on the internet willing to bet their money on fights under that format, to be honest. It is a fight between number/raw strength versus experience/technique.
If casinos realized someone this is some sort of trend people is catching, so they can get more entertainment out their bets, then I would not be surprised if they decided to include those fights in their betting markets, otherwise it will continue to be a niche, only for a handful of people who wish to bet with friends and family.

There will always be a bias here and seriously this is indeed for entertainment purposes only and I won’t bet on any fight like this as they are more prone to biases and a scripted fights. If you’re into sports betting and a match like this, then you should be more careful and bet only on a real fight. This is indeed interesting to watch but betting should not be the option here.

so every wrestling/MMA league’s slowly devolving into showmanship and WWE huh?

In one hand this is certainly something I would watch out of curiosity, since I would want to see how the mechanics of the game play out, how they declare winners, and how they make sure that the fight is still relatively fair, cause let’s face it no matter what they have to make sure it’s fair otherwise people are just going to see bloodbath. Which if you are into, I might have to call on the cops on you.

Kiddings aside there’s a lot of nuance and disgruntling concepts behind 2v1 MMA fights, that I don’t see it becoming successful or anything. It would be a niche fan favorite I would say, but it wouldn’t gain massive and dedicated following, that’s for sure.

And besides, I believe this type of fight is prone to chaotic scenarios inside the ring. I also don't know about the protocols here, it may not be scripted but this is quite hard for the one fighter trying to beat 2 other fighters. This may really fall into entertainment fight and can possibly scripted to who will emerge the winner at the end.

That's interesting to watch but it's definitely an unfair match, there's no way that any prominent promotion will promote it though. Maybe the new and upcoming fighting promotions will do it though, I've seen some fighting club do this but it's a free for all match where they put in a lot of fighters in the octagon, not sure if that's true but I've seen it featured in one of those Facebook pages.

Sounds funny but not a bettable event really.  More a fight for the viewing figures then something bettable or that serious at all.   Good idea for funny fight moves, scripted show etc.   I'd love to see it :)

This would all fit in with the show fight meta thats been going on a while now in special events.   If they can make it work to that extent then someone is making money but I dont find these events to be that reliable for betting on, who knows how they organize a fight which isnt really a sports determined fight.
