The referee brings the two combatants together:
"OK these are the rules for this fight:
- Best of 3 falls (submissions or pins to a count of five) to decide the winner.
- No blows with fists, feet, knees, elbows or heads.
- No biting or gouging.
- There is no time limit, but there will be a three minute break after each fall.
Is that clear to you both?"
The two fighters are nodding that they accept the rules.
