Quintet (grappling)

Quintet (stylized as QUINTET) is a 5 on 5 winner stays on Japanese grappling promotion created by MMA legend Kazushi Sakuraba. Quintet is broadcast on UFC Fight Pass.[1] Sakuraba had been developing the format with friend and former UFC champion Josh Barnett and, while in Las Vegas to be inducted to the UFC's Hall of Fame in July 2017, 'Saku' took the chance to pitch the concept to UFC executive Ant Evans. Evans, the content officer for UFC Fight Pass, loved the idea and helped the Japanese team tweak the concept before ultimately signing Quintet to a long-term deal with UFC Fight Pass.[2]

Rules

Fight Mat

12ｍｘ12m square wrestling mat. No line boundaries. In case of obvious risk of falling out of the mat area, the referee stops the bout and the bout is restarted in a safe area in the same position.[3]

Winner Stays on System

Winner fights to the next fighter from the opposing team. Draw means both fighters are out. If the last fighter loses, the team loses.[3] In the case that both teams are down to their last fighters with the match results in a draw, the winning team is then determined by whichever has the fewest cumulative penalties throughout all the matches.

Weight

Total weight of the team (five fighters) must be: Regular Weight Class: under 430 kg one day prior to the event. Light Weight Class: under 360 kg one day prior to the event.[3]

Time Limits

Usually it is 1X8min round & 1X4min round (Regular Weight Class: in case of 20 kg+ weight difference Light Weight Class: in cases of 10 kg+ weight difference)[3]
