Young rising stars often engage in amateur MMA matches in certain parts of the world. These matches, similar to boxing, modify the rules and require specific safety gear for the fighters’ protection. However, limited oversight in certain regions means that the presence of rules alone does not guarantee their strict enforcement. One such incident has come to light wherein protective gear was not used in an MMA tournament.

MMA fans all around the world have given their opinion on a tragic incident in Russia. An MMA tournament by amateurs saw a 16-year-old fighter suffer a gruesome fate.
