If you think MMA has been sterilized by a ruleset that favors the
American wrestler, there is a promoter who would like your dollars.
The Canada-based Colosseo Championship Fighting raised a stir at the
start of 2010 when it received approval from the Edmonton Combative
Sports Commission to use the ruleset of the Japan-based promotion DREAM,
which allows knees to the head of a grounded opponent.
Now, more than a year later, Colosseo is planning another event for July 23, and he intends to up the action by using the
ruleset of the now-defunct PRIDE Fighting
Championships.
