About

Initially launched in 2008, XARM features two competitors tethered to the XARM table and bound together at the hand with duct tape. Over the course of three one-minute rounds, competitors are free to punch, kick and seek submission holds while also using traditional arm-wrestling as a means of scoring points. Just like MMA, XARM bouts can be won via knockout, submission or judges' decision.

Art Davie, co-founder of the UFC, serves as the CEO of XARM.

Additional information from an interview Davie gave: http://mmajunkie.com/news/25440/ufc-c...ive-events-gaming-debut-this-year.mma

----------

I think this sport can be good for UFC veterans like Tank Abbott.

I don't think we'll see GSP winning the welterweight title in this sport anytime soon.

I just watched a match on youtube and its actually pretty shit - lots of wild swinging and flailing around.
It will be a haven for useless freaks like Bob Sapp, Hong Man Choi and Akebono

So basically it's arm wrestling but you can KICK THEM IN THE FACE

It's brutal but apparently it also has a romantic side... (5:02 - 5:06)
