Of course the UFC fighters are at a much higher level, which is why they are earning real money, and getting real exposure.

But damn, as a fight fan I must say the KOTS production and entertainment puts UFC to shame.

This is a European promotion, and I know in the States there's stuff like Street Beefs, etc... but honestly after watching KOTS, Street Beefs looks kinda weak and silly to me.

When UFC says "as real as it gets", it's just talk... this is as real as it gets...

(mods, please don't move this thread right away, a lot of MMA fans here are always looking for more fights to watch and I don't see threads about this promotion on any of the forums here so I'm assuming a lot of members don't know about it)

Well how do you think a real fight would go? No one stops to take their shoes off in the real world.

KOTS is great. A lot of snowflakes out there though; especially when it comes to eye gouging. "what?! eye gouging?!! in MY King Of The Streets?!!". Listen: what part about "fight with no rounds and no rules" do yal not understand? It is between two consenting grown men, with reasonable stoppages (I would describe the stoppages as later than mainstream mma, but still way more reasonable than old school Felony Fights) and medical staff on hand.

Oh and like you say the production value and footage of the fights actually does put UFC to shame.

KOTS is like that. There seems to be some weird culture war within KOTS though between all the neo nazi's talking about "fighting with honor" and whatnot...and then the guys that will do anything to win a fight which, to be fair in a no rules combat setting, they should.

Like it or not, stuff like eye gouging, fish hooking, biting, headbutts, groin strikes, small joint manipulation, even spitting in someones eyes is a part of real fight. But before you take any credit away from guys like Oak and Blood Axe that have ended fights via eye gouging, take note of how they got into the position to eye gouge their opponents to begin with; that is, effective grappling and controlling the opponent. All the "dirty" stuff is just added tools to the arsenal.

It's actually very rare, most guys don't do it even when they have a chance. I've seen it like twice in over 50 fights I've watched.

This first fight I posted was a great fight, although I wasn't a fan of Hooi spitting in Abner's face for no good reason during the fight, but no rules means no rules.

KOTS just doesn't bring the violence and there's too strict a rule set...

Those are all classics, also Tom fish hooking Cyrus while hammer fisting his face, then later stuffing a takedown and pancaking his face into the concrete was another epic scrap.

Well this thread is mostly for you and those like you sherbro, take in some fights before they take it off you tube, I'm still amazed this great content is available out there for free.

The thing with StreetBeefs is that is more of a "gym fight", type of deal, they have even more rules than pro orgs, KOTS is no rules, literally, guys are pros.

There is one SB channel that has decent production for a 100% amateur thing, the one run by Fire Chicken.

For sure. But I’m not even just talking about the fights themselves, the whole set up and production and build up and ambient is so much more impressive in KOTS. Whoever does their editing and music and all that is better than anyone in the UFC or even Pride has ever had. Just no fluff and no nonsense, a quick intro and then they get right to the point.

And sure I understand that the big Fight promotions are trying to cater to a wider range of fans, while KOTS is really for a very niche audience who really have the stomach for that level of violence.
