Organizing MMA event in Pakistan

[Bashir Ahmad]

So I am trying to organize an MMA event in around 2 months in Pakistan. I am trying to raise some money for flood relief. Obviously, Pakistan has some issues, one of them being a lack of cages or even rings for rent.

Now how do I go about getting around this. Yes, you heard me, assume that there is no ring nor cage. We have mats and those can be placed on the ground but you need a fenced in area. What is the most economical way of making this happen without making it look absolutely retarded.

This is a tough one.

dig a pit

barbed wire and metal poles.

Wooden posts in octagon shape with chicken wire strongly fastened to them. use regular foam/pads to pad the poles/door - make it tall enough to not have to pad on the top of the wire.

Around here railroad posts/telephone poles are like 8-20 bucks each, chicken wire is cheap, foam is relatively cheap...maybe 2-300 bucks for the cage if your labor is free.

Chicken wire, f'real? I can't imagine that not tearing people up or being strong enough to withstand impact. I'd think you have to go with vinyl coated fencing.

 

[Wes Wasmer]

Yes, if you are going to cage route, vinyl coated fencing is the ONLY option. I'm hoping that chicken wire thing was a joke. So, unless you can find a steel manufacturer to construct a ring for you, I think you may be out of luck.

or you know...just use a normal ring. it works.
