Dirty Boxing, a new combat sports promotion, is the creation of former UFC fighter Mike Perry. It combines elements of boxing and MMA, using a smaller 18-foot ring and three-minute rounds. Fighters are allowed to use all hand strikes, including elbows, and can use ground strikes after a knockdown while remaining standing.
