Another UFC founder, Bob Meyerwitz, foundered in 2008 when he tried to modify MMA with his YAMMA Pit Fighting promotion. At least he was in the same realm. Davie takes it to a whole other arena as he tries to morph MMA with - of all things - arm wrestling.
According to a press release on Friday:
XARM is the next generation in combat sports, combing mixed martial arts with hardcore arm wrestling. It's three minutes of raw, uncensored action, and it's unlike anything you've ever seen.
The way to win in XARM is to stop your opponent with blows or make him submit. Arm pins are treated like a knockdown in boxing in that the recipient loses points. So, the essence of XARM as a sport is to attack without being tagged or submitted.
No, this is not a joke. Or, if it is, it is quite elaborate. Watch the video for yourself:

the stupidest shit i have ever seen. Art Davie's a moron
holy shit, this is ghey
really stupid
but the strap has velcro the strongest material on earth
You cannot call this bullshit MMA..this is tarnishing the name of the fast growing sport on earth today, by comparing to some stupid, nameless 'sport'..
Man this stuff is xtreme!!!! Woooooo!!!!
This reminds me of that arm wrestling movie with Stallone, "Over the Top"! Weak....like this can compete with the MMA.
HAHAAH
Holy shit, that was stupid.
seems like theres no technique involved, only off balanced punches with not a lot of power. Not a real sport just for the Mixed Martial Artist drop out that never learned jui-jiztu.
more disturbing than than art davies' staggering stupidity are the confused morons who signed up for this idiotic event. were they drugged? brainwashed? paid inordinate amounts of money??? this poses 0% threat to MMA. you gotta wonder who INVESTED in this joke too.
they're they biggest dimwits.
Wow! This is SUPER GAY!!!
that was awful
What the hell sine when was welcro even considered strong.
I can seperate velcro with my pinkie toe.
This shit is so insanely dumb it shouldnt be on mmaweekly.com. This is not mma its knock the guy out and keep hitting him ause hes straped to a table.
Kudos to MMAWeekly for a good laugh this morning. Art Davie is a dumb a$$. This is the most ridiculous sh!t I've seen in a long time...come on! This spectacle (not "sport") has zero chance of making it passed the bar scene.
This is the silliest thing i ever saw! I am speechless! Why would someone participate in something so dumb. Ban this quick!
someone please stop this, stupidest thing ive ever seen.
Seriously, if you put a real pro arm wrestler in there against one of these guys, the match will be over in literally a couple of seconds, before any of the "MMA" becomes relevant, so even if the sport is serious it still won't work.
it's like a slapping contest! bwhahahahaha!
Is this for real? No no, seriously. Because it is the absolute dumbest thing I've seen in a long time. It's like the candy corn of sports, two great things on their own, but a ridiculous piece of garbage when put together.
Davie said that former arm wrestling champion and kinda former/current mma fighter Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge could'nt handle this ,Davie claims Big Daddy kept getting really pissed off at this "Boot Camp" because he could'nt hang with the other arm fight guys (I guess that's what u call them) that Davie held too get this Stupid Bull Shite started.Davie went on to say that Gary was getting beat up really bad, another audio interview with davie on carsons corner he goes on to say more shit about gary .I think all these loser f**k wads are trying to make back all this money in their minds that they believe their owed for what they did with the UFC,their all pissed now that the UFC is huge and profitable.So now all the former Jagg-Offs that started/almost Destroyed the UFC back in the SEG days are trying anything that they can put extreme on ,sorry Xtreme too make the money they think that they deserve from their UFC days.They need to remember it was their idea of marketing the UFC as this "Blood Sport" that got McCain involved along with other negative things th almost killed the UFC and the sport of MMA, Next thing these dumb ass fools will come up with wait... Shit never mind there's not anything much more stupid than YAMMA and this pile of shit
Man, I think I may have pooped my pants just a tiny bit because I'm so super jacked up right now!
This is the dummest shit I've ever seen. Its a disgrace to combat sports everywhere
oooo lets hold hands and hit each other!!!
