MMA basketball

Back in November, we introduced you to Beercup, a hybrid of mixed martial arts and soccer that mostly amounted to a bunch of weird dudes who wanted to punch each other using “soccer” as a reason to rent a local gym and throw down. It wasn’t the most successful execution of the idea — MMA + ??? = Profit — but it was a start.

The next attempt at hybrid sports comes from MMA legend Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and combines two of the things we love most in the world: MMA guys doing something other than MMA, and basketball players fighting. It’s MMA basketball, and while there don’t appear to be a lot of rules, it DOES involve lay-ups and tons of choking. So it’s either ‘MMA basketball’ or Pau Gasol visited Croatia.

Video is below.

Two thing I’d suggest for the next time MMA basketball happens:

1. Referees
2. The ability to beat the crap out of referees
