This 5-on-5 MMA fighting league looks absolutely terrifying

Team Fighting Championship is evidently a thing and it looks absolutely terrifying.

Five fighters on each side, lined up dodgeball style, inside a 40-by-40 foot ring with five referees. It's done elimination-style, where if a fighter taps or gets knocked out, he's eliminated.

As explained from MMAfighting.com, "There are instances where an athlete can get caught in a chokehold and kicked in the face at the same time."

TFC follows MMA rules pretty closely, except for some deviations, such as the noted rule change above. TFC is illegal in the United States and other countries, but according to the report, is popular in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe.
