Jokes about “the circus is in town” get made all the time in combat sports when you see odd mismatches or exploitative nonsense. Even major promotions like Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) aren’t immune to this phenomenon (see James Toney ... or CM Punk).
In the past few years, this has gotten amped up, with YouTube creators boxing and Power Slap being relentlessly promoted.
No promotion dives head-first into it quite like Full Metal Dojo’s Fight Circus. The main difference — and to this author, what makes it truly enjoyable rather than a train wreck — is that Fight Circus doesn’t take itself seriously. No one is trying to sell you that a professional wrestler is going to beat a trained mixed martial artist (MMA) with a straight face here — you’re more likely to see those same two hypothetical combatants do a stand-up fight where only kicks are allowed.
Did you read the sub-headline before clicking this article and saw Rampage Jackson and Bob Sapp get mentioned? Yea, we’re gonna get to see those two very large men share one giant t-shirt and kickbox two other men also trapped inside their own shared shirt. It’s going to be dumb and hilarious and actually kind of fun to watch, rather than seeing 44-year old tread-worn MMA guys get knocked out yet again in a standup sport.
And it all goes down TONIGHT (Sat., April 1, 2023) live from from Pattaya, Thailand, with a 7 p.m. ET start time on FITE.tv (watch it here). Indeed, it’s Fight Circus 6, “The Rise or Fall of Sloppy Balboa!”
