Ruleset
Fight to Win
Single-superfight cards, submission-only regulation, judges' decision if nobody finishes: built for entertainment.
How the ruleset works
Fight to Win runs weekly professional cards of one-off superfights. Regulation is submission-only with no points; if there's no finish, three judges decide on aggression and submission attempts, and the promotion is explicit that chasing the finish wins decisions. Matches run 8-10 minutes, in gi or no-gi depending on the booking, which makes F2W another mixed-attire promotion at the event level.
