What is Armored MMA? - AMMA Betting Guide, Tips & Strategies

At Stake Sportsbook, you can find the best betting odds and markets on a wide variety of MMA events, including Armored MMA. In this guide, find out how Armored MMA works and how to start betting on it at Stake.com.

Armored MMA (AMMA) Rules

Much like mixed martial arts (MMA) and other combat sports, Armored MMA features a one-on-one fight between two athletes. However, the big difference is that each fighter is fully equipped with a suit of medieval armour and actual weapons, including swords, battle axes and shields.

AMMA is the largest Armored cage fighting league in the world, which holds events across the US featuring fighters from all over the world. Fights are contested inside a cage, similar to MMA promotions such as the UFC and the PFL. Exhibition fights feature 3 rounds of 1 minute each, while professional bouts are 3, 3-minute rounds.

For safety purposes, fighters aren’t allowed to use thrusting movements with their weapons, and choking opponents out is also against the rules. In addition, while the use of weapons in battle is allowed, the sharp edges are blunted. Each fighter must also wear a full suit of steel armour for protection.

How Does Medieval MMA Work?

While it may look like something from medieval times, Armored MMA (AMMA) is a new and exciting sport that is taking the world by storm. This form of armored combat originates from “buhurt”, which was revived in Eastern Europe in the late 90s. The armored combat community is growing quickly, fuelled by exciting fights and interest on social media.

The sport works much like any MMA fight. There are weight classes, and each fighter is highly trained for actual combat. Fighters win their match by scoring points with the judges, by technical knockout (where the referee stops the fight) or by knockout. If a fighter falls to the canvas, they have 15 seconds to get up before the ref counts them out.

What are Major Armored MMA Tournaments & Events?

Armored MMA Experience is the largest armored medieval combat promotion in the world right now, and it holds events regularly across the United States. Each medieval theme event typically features 12 bouts, with a mix of exhibition and professional matches.

Other armored combat sports promotions, such as the International Medieval Combat Federation also hold regular events, including team-based armored combat fighting.

AMMA Betting Strategies & Tips

Equipment - Fighters in AMMA are required to wear heavy armour and, of course, carry some kind of real weapon. The weapons used depend on the rules and preferences of each fighter, but they can make a big difference in armed combat. Some fighters excel with certain weapons, so it’s worth checking their history before you bet.
Live betting - Live betting is an excellent way to find improved odds on AMMA events. As the fights are happening, you can make the most of line movement and use live stats or streams to get a better understanding of what’s happening.
