2 guys get locked up in the octagon for 25 minutes straight, no rounds.
OR normal 3 or 5 rounds, 5 minutes each. Whichever.

There is still a referee in there who stops the fight if someone taps, or deems there is too much damage.
So not a "fight to the death" type of gladiator ruleset where someone needs to be unconscious to win.

- allow back of the head and spine attacks
- allow eye gouging
- allow strikes to groin
- allow soccer kicks
- allow both hands choking neck

Basically street fight rules, inside an octagon with no hard concrete.
 
a wrestler who will take you down and headbutt your face to a pulp
 
Most gladiators were actually very expensive. It costs a lot of money to train them and have them perform. So a majority of the time they didn't actually fight to the death.

I think a lot of champs would be the same. Merab, Khamzat, and Topuria.

One possible change is Cejudo would probably have beaten Sterling though.
 
Probabably the same guy, its not like one of the current champions benefit greatly from having rules.

Think Nate Diaz's friend might be the guy for middleweight instead.
 
P4p if being real Topuria
He's going to beat most people around his weight in a street fight fully dressed in jeans or whatever it's gonna be mostly hands and wrestling on streets is unintelligent. Grappling becomes less a factor, so illa in the streets has a pretty good chance against anyone between 170 and below

Illa has good grappling as well folks just over look it because he kos many standing but he started as a grappler . If going by size I say Pereria , Ank , Frank, or Aspinall

I know he has good grappling, but it's less of a factor in street fights
