the international vale tudo championship was a brazilian vale tudo promotion which ran 13 events from 1997 to 1999. while the mma in north america at the time was running towards ever greater regulation, the ivc reveled in its renegade reputation, pitting bare - knuckle fighters against each other in single round, 30minute no - holds barred brawls inside of a ring. nevertheless, mma luminaries like chuck liddell, wanderlei silva and dan severn competed in ivc. now, almost two decades on, ufc fight pass gives subscribers the chance to witness 1990s brazilian vale tudo fighting for themselves .
future ufc veteran mike van arsdale brought top - class american wrestling to the no - holds - barred squared circle of the ivc at the fourth international vale tudo championship event. some predicted his grappling skills would have as dramatic an effect on the ivc as dan severn’s had in the ufc. click here to see what happened .
along with the new moniker and as - yet - unannounced guidelines, ivc mma will trade its vale tudo - era net - lined ring for a cage upon its return .
in fact, the biggest mma organization in asia (one fc) allows soccer kicks, not to mention that vale tudo fights like in the video are still going on in brazil .
the promoter of the show is sergio batarelli. he is a former world kickboxing champion as well as a founder of international vale tudo council (ivc). in addition, over the years batarelli has been involved in k - 1 and ufc promotions in brazil. he has also managed a professional boxer esquiva florentin .
world championship kickboxing felipe micheletti v rogelio ortiz headlines ivc sorocaba fight night on saturday, 20th august 2016 in sao paulo, brazil .
during his 30 - minute talk with “face to face, ” batarelli also recalled his days as a kickboxing champion and discussed his brazilian confederation of vale tudo, also founded in 1997, which he believes could be an excellent solution for the lack of athletic commissions in brazil .
in retrospect, ivc 6 was an historic card because it featured future legendary rivals chuck liddell and wanderlei silva in action. “the iceman” liddell – fresh from his ufc 17 debut – had his second professional fight, albeit under vale tudo rules. “the axe murderer” silva, meanwhile, was anxious to make up for his previous ivc loss in the main event against ivc 4 tournament winner mike van arsdale .

ivc sorocaba is a mixed show of kickboxing and mma bouts. in the main event brazilian felipe micheletti is facing rogelio ortiz from argentina. they will challenge a vacant wkn super cruiser - weight world title under k - 1 rules. also this challenge is a highly anticipated rematch. the two will square the differences following their 2013 encounter. back then the bout ended in the third round. although ortiz seemed keen to continue the referee stopped the contest. as a result micheletti earned a tko victory .
ivc sorocaba also includes two tournaments. kickboxing 8 - man eliminator will go side by side with mma 4 - man tourney. the event reportedly airs live on pay - per - view .
the ivc is one of the first original promotions for mixed martial arts. it saw legends from wanderlei silva to chuck liddell. the wkn brought ivc to europe. moreover, it made history as the first ever organization to promote mma contests on european continent .
this year wkn scheduled two ivc events in brazil. ivc sorocaba is the first show. the next event is happening in november .

sergio batarelli and marcelo alonso chat on the set of “face to face. ”
and many others is primed to return to brazil after a 12 - year absence .
in 1998. “they said the ufc needs a top event in brazil to select fighters, like i used to do in the ‘90s. after talking with them, i got together a group of top sponsors, and the ivc will be back in the middle of the year with a new name, ivc mma, and new rules. ”
and many others, ivc was the first brazilian event that foreigners wanted to take part in. they knew it would be a shortcut to japan and the u. s. a .
are good examples of that, ” said batarelli, who intends to continue featuring brazil - u. s. confrontations as a staple of the show .

ivc 14: usa vs brazil from november 11, 2001 in caracas, venezuela .
the final ivc event of its original incarnation, ivc 13 featured stoppages in every single bout. the promotion went out as violently as it had exploded on the still developing mma scene just two years previously .
featuring fights ending with a broken limb and a submission to exhaustion, ivc 12 did little to diminish the renegade brazilian promotions reputation as one of the most extreme leagues in the world .
returning to the grueling eight - man tournament of earlier show, ivc 11 was one of the most action - packed events of its era .
by his third year as a professional fighter wanderlei silva had begun to resemble the champion who would reign over the pride organization for half a decade. the axe murderer’s appearance at ivc 10 vs ufc veteran eugene jackson reconfirmed that he was now ready to compete with anyone in the world. also on the card, the talented pedro otavio and carlos barreto went to war in the main event .
coming off his ufc 17. 5 loss to vitor belfort, wanderlei silva was in a nasty mood going into ivc 9 – and let andrian serrano know all about it in 22 brutal seconds. also on the card, milton bahia broke tulio palahres’s sternum in a fight and future ufc champion coach rafael cordeiro competed .
ivc 8 featured a series of spectacular finishes from a roster of talented brazilian fighters, including rising prospect – and future ufc title challenger - babalu sobral – and carlao barreto, who holds wins over ben rothwell and former ufc champion kevin randleman .
the seventh ivc event featured lighter weight fighters – along with brutal kos, a disqualification and one of the more bizarre submissions you’ll ever see .
with seven stoppages – including one from legal headbutts – the fifth ivc card featured a wild eight - man tournament conducted under no - holds barred rules. the star attraction was jose landi - jons – known as pele – who never fought in the ufc but is well known today for beating both pat miletich and matt hughes during his long career .
the second no - holds barred tournament from brazil is remembered for the emergence of future pride fc and ufc superstar wanderlei silva, who stormed his way through the early rounds only to suffer the first defeat of his career in the shocking finale .
the inaugural event from the infamous bare - knuckle league saw ufc veteran gary goodridge enter an eight - man, no - holds barred tournament. the canadian kickboxer’s performances earned him his spot in the first pride fc event later that year. also on the first ivc card, ufc legend dan severn collided with dangerous veteran “pitbull” braga .
women’s mma has come so far in 13 years. it’s unbelievable. you guys are going to be blown away by tuf 20. yeah, there’s a ronda rousey on this season of ‘the ultimate fighter. ’ absolutely .

i love watching gary goodridge highlights. that was one of the strangest submissions i' ve ever seen. haha
agreed. gary may not have the best record, but damn if he wasn' t exciting to watch fight. and when he would win, he dominated guys .
they didn' t show the fight where he squeezes some guys balls with his toes. i was waiting for that highlight the whole time lol
i thought the same, but it was effective, cranks your head down to your chest, ouch ...
no wonder he got dementia pugilistica (or so i read somewhere). those bare - knuckle strikes must not be very good for your brain .
they are much much much much much worse for your knuckles and hand. they are actually better for your brain compared to gloves .
legal move! ! sport has evolved a little, hasn' t it .
seriously. anyone who wants to knock on the guys from previous generations in comparison to those coming up through a modern mma background needs to appreciate how these guys were cutting their teeth back in the day .
didn' t his son fight in pride? i remember him in someone' s corner .
something about the no gloves that makes it a bit more real and scary .
did he just tap? i better head butt him to make sure. brutal .
i miss stomps and soccer kicks in mma, as some types of knees .
one fc is getting big in asia and soccer kicks are legal but stomps are only legal to the body / legs... better than nothing .
i don' t. i believe that the sport got better since the ban .
what i meant is that they were mad illegal by athletic comissions in the states. i know that aside of one fc there are few others that allow soccer kicks .
probably about the same percent that are juicing today, if not even less .
it' s effective enough. sometimes boxers will heabutt punches to hurt their opponents. i forget what it' s specifically called, but nick diaz does it a lot .
using the top of the forehead towards more sensitive spots on the opponents face such as the nose .
use the part of your head above your eyebrows to hit parts of their head below the eyebrows .
i dunno if you' ve ever hit your head very hard let' s say around your hairline, but it doesn' t really hurt much. the skin getting smashed does, but your head itself doesn' t really hurt at all. it' s a mild annoyance that you probably wouldn' t even feel in a fight, but your opponent will certainly feel a broken nose or orbital bone .
if you ever question rampage' s toughness you should watch the first 20 seconds of this .
dat moment when wanderlei silva hits his opponent so hard he starts trying to fight the ref .
only a few years back you could get most of the ivc on pretty much any torrent site... now your lucky to find a dream event
it' s insane to realize just how much punishment all the ufc greats took before mma exploded. so much hespect .
interesting. . i was expecting more of those gloveless punches to result in knockout. i wonder if fighters change their form / power when fighting bare - fisted to protect their hands, resulting in fewer knockouts .
that' s a correct assertion. that' s why old bare knuckle boxers fought so different. that weird, underhand style. it was to keep their wrists straight and not hit the top or side of the skull .
bare knuckle fights actually make the fighter punch weaker, because they' re not taped up and covered in padding .
gloves provide protection, but their main function is to allow the fighter to punch harder. if you hit someone' s head anywhere near as hard as you are able, you will almost certainly break your hand. if not the 1st time, then surely the 2nd or 5th or whatever. that is no good if you are supposed to be punching for 15 - 45 minutes straight .
that and skin of the opponent. less cuts. more cuts = more premature' technical' stoppages .
thankfully, you do not define what is or is not sporting competition. these guys, with or without gloves, are 100x the athletes and competitors that golfers claim to be.
