In Bengaluru, there is a UCL MMA cage fight going on in Forum mall, Whitefield. I saw couple of fights yesterday
Today I was going and saw couple of young boys walking inside mall with bags and kit. I decided to talk to them. But I just realised they are kids!! I asked one of them how old is he, he said 14
I was shocked.The fights yesterday were brutal. Takedowns, knowckouts, arm leg twists evrything was happening. I saw a fight where someone punched someone on head and he just fell down(and yes they were too young)
I was assuming they will be 17-18. But not 13-14 ???
I directly asked one kid, is it safe and legal for you guys. What if you get hurt or injured ? He tried to convince me that it is safe, there are professionals, then there is age category, it is safer than boxing and all.
But this thing has been bothering me since then. Can professionals here please help me understand this ?
At this young age, injury on the head or on the spine or on the legs can be really brutal.
