... bear knuckle fighting ...
... bear knuckle fighting ...
Bare knuckle boxing? No
I would love to see a Pancrase/rings variation with no gloves though. Or some more full contact karate.

I see many broken hands in the future..
They have hand wraps, but not over the knucklesThey should at the very least have hand wraps, bare knuckle is just stupid
But I'll watch Josh, Leben & Baroni do any kind of competing
Why is Johny fighting Brennan Ward? He is going to get hurt, Brennan is a decent boxer, a crazy fucker and has good power.
That might get ugly quickly for the fat lad
The UK based BKB org has full hands wraps (with knuckles wrapped), but BKFC only has hands, no knuckles. Wasn't sure what these guys were planningThey have hand wraps, but not over the knuckles
No, because bare knuckle fighting is usually boring as fuck to watch. It always was.
Since this has been legalized apparently for the first time in 130 years, it could take off.
The World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation are having their first even in November.

Johny Henricks, Chris Leben and Phil Baroni will be on the card.
It will be interesting to see how the standup is bare knuckle and if the sport takes off. From what I know of bare knuckle it will be a bloody night.
Hope they get the proper amount of dollars to fuck their brain and fist doing this nonsense
Im even surprised its legalized. MMA as is(and other contact sports that are more mainstream), is hitting into more and more obstacles with people becoming more aware of brain damage and how quickly it occurs and the general pussifying of the nation. But bare knuckle fighting?
Heck even me as a big mma fan see bare knuckle as too much. Those involved will probabily keep believing it will blow up but it never will and fighters will keep competing in arenas where there will be no proper medical support or licensed refs and pay will be sh1tty or on hand. Sad future.

Headlined everywhere by MMA fighters doesnt help... but the idea might come from the "vale tudo" days where they didnt used any gloves.I honestly dont think there's a big enough appetite for bear knuckle fighting with the UFC in the picture.
Most people who don't follow the sport think cage fighting and bare knuckle boxing is one in the same.
