I'm unaware of the existence of this kind of championship where people wear medieval armors and make use of real weapons but I don't think I will like the championship though since the use of a real weapon is involved and with what I am seeing made on the rules provided people can still get hurt easily so I won't dare bet on this kind of game.

People can still get injured in any sport. You might be surprised to find out how many people get injured playing sports, ranging from bruises and sprains to broken bones and concussions. The most common contact sports to cause injuries among athletes are basketball, football, soccer, and ice hockey.

But, how do you find a winner in this type of events? What are the criteria for winning?

According to this:

-Each fight is 3 x 3-minute rounds
-A fighter must have a sword and a shield
-Both the sword and shield can be used as weapons
-Swords must be blunted
-Stabbing with the sword is illegal
-A fighter can punch, kick and wrestle
-A fighter must either block or answer the attacks
-A fighter is to remain on their feet
-No arm locks are allowed
-Strikes to the neck, spine, feet and ankles are not allowed
-A downed fighter is finished using only three strikes

This rule is on single match and it seems it's a point basis just as the usual sports.

The winner will be decided obviously by TKO (or I don't know the term of it on that sports) or decision.

Compared to the potential profit this show could provide, all these costs are dust. You know how people love films/series about gladiators, however, like any other films with cruelty and violence. It is inherent in human nature and people are ready to pay for it, but technologies at the moment cannot meet this demand.
We arent still there yet because we cant really be having those resources plus the tech we do need.Its true that if it would really be making out some interest then for sure it would really be able to accumulate those funds that we didnt even expect to reach out. Im bit interested about these historic like kind of fights but depending on how it would really be set-up if it turns out to be that realistic but of course we shouldnt really anticipate nor expect that these things would be similar in the movies.

If in the future it will be possible to carry out these battles on a real level (with the fight being carried out until the physical death of the biological body), then reality will surpass any films. It's like with football, tennis or any other sport - if you are immersed in any of them, you know what happened there, that if it had not been recorded, it would be difficult to believe in the reality of what happened.
Time could only tell because we arent that advanced enough to see these stuff for a few couple of years but rather believing to be possible on next decades.I agree into your point about about believing in reality on whats happening but those would be still remaining as "what if's"
One ting that do interest me is those looks of armor which is a bit badass if its worn but the game mechanics would be entirely different
neither would be having limitations or would be an all out war without limits.

That will be like bringing the gladiator games of the Romans back to the XXI century and I do not think that is ever going to happen, even in those games the chances that a gladiator will die were low on each match as it would have been impossible to maintain the industry back then otherwise, so I think that if the sport really wants to become popular some very specific rules will be need to be put in place in order to guarantee the safety of the combatants.
I'm thinking about the actual impact when a player hits his opponent directly. How much would the damage will be and how they're going to ensure the safety of their players aside from those suits and armors. But looking at it seems fun, I'll do some random checking and bets if I want to.
But, how do you find a winner in this type of events? What are the criteria for winning?
Maybe when someone taps out or can no longer get up.

Like in any sports it's possible to see some nations are superior to anothers, what would give the chance to the sport's fans to earn some money by predicting the correct results. Would you have interest in betting in a sport like this and promoting it, so it could become more popular until being included in gambling's platforms?
Sounds interesting but I guess people can bet on esports and have the same thrill. I mean there are games like dota2, CSGO where you can bet on 5v5 and see who comes out on top. I know and able to understand what you are saying is rather real and more thrilling but it is not possible to organize such events, as far as I am concerned.

And if we are thinking of betting on real wars between countries, I would opt out of betting on it for obvious reasons.

Of course not, since it will be immediately banned in all countries) I think it can become real when technological progress allows people to immerse themselves in virtual reality and control a robot (or a biological body specially grown for this). Then we will be able to see real battles up to the complete destruction of one of the fighters. It sounds fantastic, but who knows how quickly such opportunities will appear.

I do not think all countries will ban it we are talking about Medieval MMA so this is only in Europe I would say and maybe in USA and Canada, where trust me they will allow this kind of games as they allow all other kinds of.

But yes a real destruction and damage with nothing held back that would be SO awesome.

But I was talking about battles with real damage and even death. Such battles will not be allowed anywhere, and even if there is a wild country that legalizes it, the rest of the countries will force it to refuse it. This problem will remain unresolved until technological progress gives us new opportunities that I wrote about above.
And this would be getting lots of criticisms where sports shouldnt really involved with any injuries or severe damage or even death and that would really be prohibited.

In talks about biological body or some sort then think of those things to be costly which would be a big factor for hindrance and building one isnt something as simple as we do think
and very costly.

This would be only good for some parts of the world mainly in Europe but i dont see for it to be getting outside on that border.

I take it that historical reconstruction is not really their thing. I am just talking about a guy on a suit of medieval armour dressed with the USA colours and stars and stripes in his shield. My guess is that he is about to pickup his cell phone in the middle of the fight to call for reinforcements. I would bet on this event (sport?) but mostly I would take kids to it as it seem terribly fun and perhaps they could also get a close idea of how a real medieval fight took place. In percent terms, wars have become less of a man against man (or women for that matter) fight with time.

If it has rules that basically don't harm players then I think this tournament could be popular, but if it still has a chance to kill players then of course this tournament shouldn't be held. Indeed, players wear armor to protect against sharp weapon attacks, but is the armor really safe so it doesn't have a hole in it. If it is a tight armor and already has standard rules about safety for its players, then it might be an interesting tournament because the most important thing is that the tournament can be run safely.

Medieval MMA is a pretty new thing but if they have finally polished everything, I would definitely go for a bet on it since I do love to bet on really eccentric sports and this is pretty eccentric for me like the Slapping tournament. Another thing for this kind of bet is it could go either way because most of them aren't trained individuals.

So here's my opinion about this game. I think it is pretty hilarious since this game compose of a team that has 10-20 people, I guess? and watching them fight is boring to me because I can't focus on which person I would watch to fight. So it would be better if they'll made this a team match still the same number per team, but this should be 1 on 1 after every match.
That's why it's best if this will be one-on-one. I did comment here about the game "jousting" game and I guess that's the best medieval game I'm excited to watch as I can say it's way more manly. I don't know if there are bookies regarding this medieval games but more likely it's rare to see or I am just missing something in regards to that.
I do see that jousting but I do see this medieval MMA clashes would be more interesting that on that one because this neither be a royal rumble or 1 on 1 and basing off on the mechanics
then you can see this one is more action packed.  Cool

Talking about if I would bet these certain type of games then I might consider depends on how it would be set-up. If those moves would be real and not something
just like scripted or what.

Seeing this so I remembered several films also in the past. The setting is really similar. And of course, they really took out a lot for the game. If you see some of the scores, it's interesting too. And even this game has been done in several countries and becomes its own charm.
If it's gambling or betting on the game, I myself still doubt it. Because it has not really understood the performance and also the club is indeed reputable or potentially.
So it needs deepening more, when it's understood, why not?

Probably most people don't know a championship where players team up wearing medieval armors and wielding real weapons like swords, axes and halberds to fight against another teams exist nowadays, but it does. The event exists since 2013 and already counts with the participation of 26 nations which send a team of your own to the competition. Each year the championship is executed in a different country and there is already an International Federation responsible for it (International Medieval Combat Federation)

There are different categories of fights: 1 vs 1, 5 vs 5, 21 vs 21 and I saw there is even 150 vs 150, which rely in different attributes like resistance, strength, strategy, leadership and so on.
The rules are simple: if the player goes down he is out of the game. The team which manages to knock down the whole opponent team is the winner.

Like in any sports it's possible to see some nations are superior to anothers, what would give the chance to the sport's fans to earn some money by predicting the correct results. Would you have interest in betting in a sport like this and promoting it, so it could become more popular until being included in gambling's platforms?

First of all, this is not MMA since they used weapons and heavy iron suit to protect themselves, so I don't know why this is called "Medieval MMA".

So here's my opinion about this game. I think it is pretty hilarious since this game compose of a team that has 10-20 people, I guess? and watching them fight is boring to me because I can't focus on which person I would watch to fight.

This is the first time that I've seen this type of sport but I can compare this to fencing and the gladiators that we have watched in many movies. I think it's interesting to get into a new type of sport that hasn't been known by most people. Even the existence of this has been for years, I didn't know much about it, and thanks to you OP for sharing this medieval type of MMA. But before saying that I would love to bet on this type of sport, I'll learn more about their strategies, rules, and other stuff that I should be familiarized with. But I'm very much open to new things like this and it seems to be an exciting sport to tune in.

But, how do you find a winner in this type of events? What are the criteria for winning?

There are rules, just as there are in other sporting events. Not just those that govern winning.
