Fiji comes out on top in Dan Hooker\u2019s World Cup themed \u20181-minute scraps\u2019<\/h2>\n

Dan Hooker hasn\u2019t let some initial pushback to his backyard-fighting tournaments stop him from continuing to expand the concept.<\/p>\n

His latest concept saw 16 fighters face off in \u20181-minute scraps\u2019, with each competitor representing a special country.<\/p>\n

A series of untamed and sometimes brutal brawls resulted within the 4 semi-finalists leaving the indoors for what appears to be a parking lot.<\/p>\n

Fiji defeated Samoa and Niue beat Latest Zealand to establish a competitive final that left the onlooking crowd with one request after the one-minute cut-off date expired.<\/p>\n

Calls for another round to come to a decision who would win the $75,000 money prize were eventually answered by Hooker, who got a giant cheer for confirming that the 2 finalists would battle it out again.<\/p>\n

Unlike the actual FIFA World Cup final, won by Spain in one-sided and fairly dull fashion, Fiji got here out victorious in a brawl that left each competitors spent.<\/p>\n

A size advantage for Fiji helped him secure the win, despite a spirited attempt from Niue, who had already come through some gruelling bouts.<\/p>\n

The total tournament lasted just over an hour due to the all-action format, with little time to stop for hydration breaks or musical performances at half-time.<\/p>\n
