Kazushi Sakuraba

Quintet (stylized as QUINTET) is a Japanese submission grappling promotion created by mixed martial artitst Kazushi Sakuraba that uses a 5-on-5, winner-stays-on format. It debuted on April 11, 2018 on UFC Fight Pass.[1]

Sakuraba developed Quintet with former UFC champion Josh Barnett. In July 2017, while in Las Vegas, Sakuraba pitched the concept of Quintet to Ant Evans, the content officer for UFC Fight Pass. Evans worked with Sakuraba to further develop the concept before ultimately signing Quintet to a long-term deal with UFC Fight Pass.

Rules

[edit]

Fight mat

[edit]

In Quintet, bouts take place on a 12-meter by 12-meter (39 ft) square wrestling mat with no line boundaries. If the fighters move too close to the edge of the mat, the referee stops the bout and restarts it in a safe area of the mat with the fighters assuming the same positions they were in when the bout was stopped.[2]

Winner-Stays-On System

[edit]

The match begins with a bout between two fighters, one from each team. The winner fights the next fighter from the opposing team. If the bout ends in a draw, both fighters are removed and the next fighter from each team enters the mat to grapple. If the last fighter on a team loses their bout, that team loses. If a bout between both teams’ last fighters ends in a draw, whichever team had the fewest cumulative penalties throughout all of the bouts wins. If both teams have an equal number of penalties, the referees determine the winning team based on which fighter in the final bout was most aggressive.[2]

Weight

[edit]

The total weight of all five fighters on a team must be below the weight class limit as measured one day before the event.[2]

Class name Weight class limit (kg)
Men Women
Regular 430 kg (950 lb) 280 kg (620 lb)
Light 360 kg (790 lb) —

Time Limits

[edit]

Each bout consists of one 8-minute round if the fighters are close in weight. If the difference in the fighters’ weights is more than 20 kilograms (44 lb) in the Regular class or 10 kilograms (22 lb) in the Lightweight class, the lighter fighter may choose between an 8- or 4-minute round.[2]
