The Lights Out Fight Series is proudly presented by New Zealand's own Tommy Gunn!

With our first show coming to life as a charity event supporting Waipuna hospice, Lights Out Fight Series true vision was always a little different.

Tommy's journey across the world, one Muay Thai fight at a time, led him to Cambodia where he encountered the unique 9-minute round ruleset. This rule had two fighters going toe to toe over a single 9-minute round, where victory could only be achieved through a knockout, referee's stoppage, or submission via standing choke hold!

With no opportunity to experience this rule set again, Tommy always had the idea of bringing it back to home soil. After the success of Lights Out for Hospice and a bit of extra encouragement Lights Out Fight Series was born!

Not only is lights out home to the 9 minute round, we are very proud to be sanctioned by WBC Muay Thai - one of the most prestigious sanctions in the world of combat sports!

9 Minute knock out bonus
Fighters step into the ring and seize the chance to score a whopping $1000 knockout bonus! Yup, you read that right - a cool grand! But here's the twist: if the battle lasts the whole round without a knockout, the prize money snowballs to the next 9-minute showdown. So, buckle up because in the next match, the knockout bonus doubles to $2000, and the excitement keeps on growing!

In this fast-paced round, fighters can claim victory through a knockout, referee stoppages, technical knockouts, or even submission via standing choke holds. No judges, no split decisions, no heartbreaks - just raw, unfiltered combat where the fighters hold all the power!
