USA’s Peak Submission Battled Russia’s Barbarians FT In An Insane 5-Vs-5 MMA Fight

Team Fighting Championship hosted a crazy adrenaline-fuelled MMA clash between Peak Submission and Barbarians FT in 2015.

Peak Submission represented the US and travelled to Russia's Saint Petersburg for their showdown with Barbarians FT.

Sergey Domnin was the chief official for the clash and there were four other officials in the ring to manage the 10-man brawl.

The chaos ensued as soon as the clash began as members from Peak Submission and Barbarians FT spilt up to take on their opponents.

Peak Submission gained the upper hand towards the end of the fight as three of their fighters ganged up on one of Barbarians FT's members, who they ruthlessly knocked out of the ring.

One of the downed Barbarians FT fighters was scurried out of the ring by match officials before all five members of Peak Submission mercilessly beat down their last opponent.

Team USA were eventually handed the victory after the final member of Barbarians FT tapped the canvas, only after taking repeated knee strikes to the back and punches to the ribs.

But fans hold mixed feelings over TFC's 10-man clash between Peak Submission and Barbarians FT.

YouTube user Avant-Tom argued: "I mean once one person gets knocked out it's pretty much over because they can start ganging up."

While Carlos wrote: "I wish to live long enough to see it as an olympic [sic] game someday."

A third suggested: "I hope tfc [sic] starts pulling in former ufc fighters! That would take tfc to the top!"

Team USA's Peak Submission also received a warm reception from fans after their victory over Barbarians FT.

One user said: "loved when they started how peak submission [sic] had everyone on the ground... and then dominated."

A second wrote: "haha that guy at the end: 'USA, BABY! come on!' lol. I love this sport, thanks russia [sic] for making it!"

While someone else posted: "Russia really thought they had a chance lmao I find that funny."
