UperQt
In the resounding excitment of the crowd, two strange tubular structures are facing each other, fragile yet menacing.

The fight is starting strongly. Sometimes tactical and ritual, sometimes tense and electric, the phases keep coming in a skilful combination of mechanical and loud contortions.
