Even more brutal was the pankration - a blend of boxing and wrestling which again had no time limit, no weight class and even fewer rules.
Only biting and gouging an opponent's eyes were banned - but in truth even this took place.
Stories of death abounded and athletes were even given legal immunity in cases of unintentional killing during matches.
