Full contact is dying....it's dying on Ax. Ax is a (predominate) Thai boxing site with a lot of the top people in it present at some time or another on the site for most of the time I've been looking in. Nearly all the promoters who promote predominate FC are not on here, so we get a uneven picture of what's going on here in the UK. I come on here because I'm interested in what's going on no matter what the rules, and I like the occasional argument. They on the other hand probably have better things to do with their time. (as I should!)

Jag is 100% with what he says. He and I have spoken a couple of times about this. We're mega busy in our gyms, have packed out shows all of the time, and see more and more people coming in to compete.

As for FC being 'killed off by the promoters'. Sorry farhad mate but you've got to back that up with more detail. I know you've had a couple of bad experiences with promoters in the past, but that's not a full contact thing, that's a people thing.

The one thing I will say is we are a little short on 'stars' in FC code at the moment, but things never stay the same and you've only got to look at heavyweight Boxing which is going into a bad spell after the highs of the Tyson-Holyfield-Lewis era. Things change all the time, we have the upcoming Woods-Zucala fight which should be good. The possible return of Neil kelly and upcoming prospects like Nick Gill, Barinder Singh and Gary taylor to name just three.

To finish with I would say that there are actually very few promoters who are totally 100% FC. Most, like myself also feature Thai and low kick bouts on their shows whenever a suitable bout is available. Jag recently had Fahad in a Thai bout as one example. A lot of people have gone into great detail here why they prefer one code over another but that's exactly why they all exist, it's horses for courses. Enjoy what you like, but don't close your eyes to other things, you never know what you might miss.

I see there is over 100 posts on here on this subject. Funny that, there being so much interest in a dying sport!
