Ahead of their upcoming event fittingly on April Fools' Day, Fight Circus recently called upon all suspended fighters from the UFC and other promotions to join their organization to continue fighting.

Fight Circus is a brand owned by Thailand's Full Metal Dojo, a combat sports entertainment organization. Known for their outlandish matchups and freakshow fights, their next major event will reportedly feature conceptual fights like musical chairs of doom, the human pinata, the wheel of violence, a ring girl tug of war, and a white-collar brawl.

The promotion recently posted a series of tweets reacting to Alistair Overeem's one-year suspension from Glory Kickboxing after failing a drug test. The Thai organization announced they had a spot for 'The Demolition Man' among their ranks and tweeted:

"We ONLY test for STDS after it burns. We have a place for you legend."

They soon followed up with another tweet calling for all suspended fighters to join them at Fight Circus, hilariously trolling major promotions like the UFC, ONE FC, Bellator, etc, in the process.

"I feel like ALL suspended fighters should be sent UP to Fight Circus. Then, they can fight their way back down to all those lower organizations like UFC, ONE FC, BELLATOR, BKFC etc. Lose your contract and fight to get it back. IMO of course."

Former UFC light heavyweight champion set to headline Fight Circus 6 on April 1

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson is set to headline the next Fight Circus spectacle event in Phuket, Thailand. 'Rampage' will be paired alongside MMA veteran Bob Sapp in a one-of-a-kind Siamese boxing match that will require them to be tied together.

Fight Circus Vol.6: The Rise or Fall of Sloppy Balboa on April 1 will crank up the bizarreness of martial arts on display by pitting Jackson and Sapp against fight promotor Jon Nutt and Bangtao coach Andrew Wood. Intriguingly, the fighters will be tethered to limit their movements during the bout.

Full Metal Dojo recently shared a short clip of Jackson and Sapp training together at a gym. Jackson can be seen sharing an outrageously large tee with the Rizin fighter to practice being 'Siamese Twins.'

In a far cry from the seriousness of MMA promotions like the UFC and Bellator, Full Metal Dojo and its Fight Circus venture have chosen to offer fans of combat sports an unconventional yet hilarious form of entertainment. With their social media posts going viral, the Thai organization has certainly captured the attention of combat sports fans.
