World Victory Road
Founded October 15, 2007
Headquarters Tokyo, Japan
Naoya Kinoshita President
Industry: Mixed martial arts promotion
Parent: Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation
Sengoku Official Website
World Victory Road (WVR) is a Japanese MMA promotion formed following the purchase of PRIDE FC by Zuffa, the owners of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In conjunction with the also newly-formed Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation (JMM), World Victory Road held it's first show, "Sengoku", on 5 March 2008. The promotion has signed many famous mixed martial artists, including former PRIDE lightweight champion, Takanori Gomi and former UFC heavyweight champion, Josh Barnett.
Rules
The rules are different from the North American Unified Rules. Among the differences are the allowance of knees and stomps to the head of downed opponent. However elbows to the head and soccer kicks are prohibited.
Fights have 3 rounds each lasting 5 minutes.
Broadcast
The promotion received a boost in visibility in their endeavor to compete with DREAM when it reached an broadcast agreement for Fuji TV to televise matches in Japan. It was significant given the fact that this is the first MMA promotion to be televised on the network since it dropped PRIDE FC from its lineup in mid-2006. The events will be shown live on Fuji TV 739 and then a 2 hour version later in the night on Fuji TV.

- Pancrase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The promotion had a rule-set more similar to that of professional wrestling than those used in contemporary fighting organizations such as Shooto. Just as in Japanese professional wrestling, closed-fists to the face were illegal and submission holds had to be broken when a competitor made it to the ropes. However, beginning in 1998, it began adopting a rule set more in line with mixed martial arts organizations, with most fights transitioning to the new ruleset by 2000.
