Professional MMA has been a relatively recent sport, but it has grown tremendously. UFC has been one of the biggest names in the sport. However, there are several other promotions that have an interesting concept: like athletes fighting on a suspended shipping contained over water.

As surprising as it may sound, such a kind of promotion exists, and ‘Bloody Elbow’ shared a video clip of their fight on Twitter. Like always, fight fans had hilarious things to say.

A Twitter user asked about crocs in the water and another user had the perfect image to share.

Many questioned what would happen to the referee if one of the fighters happened to push him into the water.

Another fight fan was interested in knowing what would happen to fighters who got knocked out and then fell into the water. A fellow social media user answered his question.

Another person wanted to make the sport even more dangerous.

A fan wrote what UFC fighter Darren Till would do if he were fighting in the container.

Another fan cracked the perfect joke as the idea behind the format was highly unusual.

The promotion is called ‘Punch Club’ and it is based in Russia. A lot of Twitter users were not surprised by the format after they came to know it was a Russian promotion.

However, a number of people wondered about fighters’ safety in case they got knocked out and fell into the water at the same time.
