Although the present-day version is a mix between this, and the vale tudo events in Brazil, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Japanese professional wrestling circuit. The rules were originally based on kickboxing rules and then modified. They got rid of rounds and fighters could still be stood up by a referee, also ground action was allowed. The use of cages was also allowed.
