The rules were that the winner of the match stayed and fought the next member of a team.

"Well, the Georgians sent of Tariel Bitsadze, the team captain. So Me being the Australian captain, picked Dan Higgins, he tapped out after about 30 seconds from a choke, so I then picked Troy (Haseman Chris' brother). He did exceptionally well, he lasted about a minute, he got knocked out, and then I looked around and I was the only one left. We were lucky that Bitsadze, being so big was getting tired, he had fought for a whole minute and a half. I was lucky enough to get around him he was like a huge tree, I hung onto his legs until he fell down, I jumped on him and choked him out. The crowd went nuts, I went nuts, until I turned around and here was his brother (Zaza). I got knocked out cold. The funny thing was that the entire tournament had to stop because the other two Georgian fighters didn’t even bother to get changed for the fight because they thought Bitsadze would clean house."*
