The Kinektic team formatted event featured four competing squads, each comprised of five world-class grapplers, in a tournament consisting of semifinals and a championship final. The one-night Kinektic tournament consisted of bouts with eight-minute time limits. Losers of the semifinal matches were eliminated; as well as fighters whose matches ended in draws.

The fans there were really into it and we’ve received a lot of positive feedback from grappling fans all around the world who watched on UFC FIGHT PASS. We’re already talking about our next Kinektic event.”

“Vi træner vores krigere til at undertrykke stærke følelsesmæssige reaktioner i lyset af modgang, at tolerere fysisk og følelsesmæssig smerte, og overvinde frygt for skade og død. Militæret kan ikke reducere intensiteten af ​​denne konditionering uden at påvirke vores militærs kampevne negativt. Det er en Catch-22. En kold sandhed er, at tjenestemedlemmer er, kort fortalt, mere i stand til at dræbe sig selv ved ren konsekvens af deres professionelle uddannelse, og vi taber 22 en dag. Dette skal ændre sig. Vi er nødt til at omskole vores krigere på, hvad der definerer succes for dem.”
“Det bliver en dejlig aften med kamp og kæmper. Tak alle jer for jeres bidrag.”
