Bare Knuckle Fighting

by M Fri Oct 11, 2019 1:37 pm

WTF is this noise? How did this really get started and how is it athletic commission sanctioned? I see it's pretty much gloveless boxing more or less, but damn.

by **Hired_Merc** Tue Oct 22, 2019 11:13 am

They've all been very entertaining ngl. Absolutely isn't good for the fighters health, considering the retired guys are coming over to it. But it's still pretty entertaining to watch.

by **Kickass32** Tue Oct 22, 2019 12:30 pm

not all fights have been good, there have been some serious snooze fests

by jax Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:28 pm

I dont mind it, like Kick said some fights have been good, some havn't

by **Kickass32** Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:20 am

I mean for the most part they are decent but some snooze fests for sure....not unlike any combat sport really

by **MMA Guru** Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:23 am

I've watched a few and get that sentiment. Can't remember who I've seen but I wanna say Kendell Grove maybe, I expected more from the fight given the click bait title and it ended up being a snoozer.

They get us oldies with nostalgic names and we tune in to see them again

by **BluenoseGreig** Mon Oct 28, 2019 12:38 pm

For me, it's all pretty crap. Mostly due to the fact it's low level fighters, mainly past their prime, in sloppy fights. Some decent action, but mostly just not very good. If the fighters were boxers rather than past their best MMA guys, maybe it could be interesting.

Agreed, but that's what I'm saying....they catch us and peek our interest with nostalgic, old time guys

Yeah, that seems to be all they aim to do. That fight last week with Bigfoot getting murdered by Gonzaga was pretty damned disturbing, no way Bigfoot should be in a fight of any sort these days.

by **Kickass32** Wed Oct 30, 2019 10:28 am

Wait what????? Bigfoot vs. Gabriel Gonzaga in a BKF match???? How did I miss this and it was a complete 1 sided fight?

Yes, it was a one sided beatdown. Not easy to watch. Julian Lane(let me bang, bro) got his ass handed to him on the same card too.

by **Kickass32** Thu Oct 31, 2019 8:33 am

Damn, this was this past weekend? I'm going to look that up. Was Bigfoot KO'd?

by **Kickass32** Mon Nov 18, 2019 8:57 am

by **Kickass32** Mon Nov 18, 2019 8:59 am

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Apparently BKF has signed this dude

by jax Mon Nov 18, 2019 7:31 pm

Hoof, I seen his pic on another site but I didnt think it was real...Guy has quite the body, not sure it will translate into throwing punches very well.

So I've read he apparently photoshops ALL of his images to look bigger. He's still massive, but the guy clearly is mentally weak.

by **Kickass32** Tue Nov 19, 2019 9:23 am

I can't imagine he has a gas tank that'll last for more than a minute and his striking will be horrible....can he even throw a straight punch??

by jax Tue Nov 19, 2019 5:20 pm

Should be interesting, kind of like a car wreck would be hard not to watch...

by **Kickass32** Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:18 am

Thiago Alves has signed with BKFC

by jax Fri Jan 24, 2020 6:45 pm

As long as they as they can get names like him involved the sport could stick around, I'd watch him fight in that.

Sad, really fucking sad. My question is more, why are companies like PFL and Rizin not signing someone like Thiago Alves? Surely BKFC isn't paying that much they are outbidding these companies, seems like these MMA orgs just are not interested.

I read that is the the case BKFC is paying him more than the other offers

The stuff I read was quite ambiguous in saying he hoped for a more worthwhile offer from Bellator or PFL but none was forthcoming, if there was any offer at all is another question?

Yeah, I dunno.....what I read was BKFC offered more money....which shocks the hell out of me

I reckon that BKFC are offering likely a little less or similar but with all of their events being on PPV, they will be offering a cut of the PPV money(which won't actually be very much at all). Bec Rawlings is a good test subject, she went to BKFC claiming they paid very well, but then jumped as soon as Bellator came in, and if memory serves me well, she was not paid well in her Bellator debut.

by **Kickass32** Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:12 am

Yeah I just can't imagine BKFC paying well at all...I mean, don't there PPV's only do about 25K?

I'd imagine so, and they're not exactly expensive too, something like 20 bucks.

by **Kickass32** Sun Feb 09, 2020 1:15 pm

Chris Lytle won a BK fight last night

by **Kickass32** Sun Feb 16, 2020 7:19 am

Hector Lombard fights and wins his BKFC fight last night

by jax Sun Feb 23, 2020 10:08 am

Seen the fight not very entertaining, you would think there would be fireworks but with bareknuckles sometimes guys get more timid and clinch all the more.

Yeah I haven't been impressed with the BK fights I've seen

by **Kickass32** Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:50 am

Shannon Briggs has signed with BKFC. I've seen tweets suggesting he'll be fighting Jimi Manuwa. Not sure if that part is accurate or not

by **Kickass32** Tue Apr 21, 2020 11:37 am

Wanderlei Silva has called out and challenged Dan Henderson and Vitor Belfort to BK fights

by jax Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:52 pm

Those would be interesting see if they happen....not sure Hendo would be interested given his age.

by **Kickass32** Tue Apr 21, 2020 10:52 pm

Can't see either guy going for it, but if I had to pick one it would be Vitor over Hendo. I would have to think in a straight up boxing, even BK, Vitor destroys Wanderlei

by jax Sat Apr 25, 2020 6:39 am

I dunno about that, it depends if it was a trt vitor or not.

by **Kickass32** Sat Apr 25, 2020 7:28 am

Vitor is back to being juiced to the gills.

by **Kickass32** Thu May 07, 2020 7:56 am

Apparently BKFC has offered Mike Tyson a "very lucrative" offer to come fight for their organization

by **Kickass32** Thu Aug 13, 2020 11:18 am

Apparently PVZ has been signed by BKFC?????

by **Kickass32** Thu Aug 13, 2020 11:24 am

Apparently so has Bethe Corriea and they will be fighting

by jax Fri Aug 14, 2020 7:54 am

Wow interesting, Not sure how this will turn out for PVZ, Bethe is a grizzled veteran but is on the downslide on her career.

by **Kickass32** Fri Aug 14, 2020 8:53 am

Apparently PVZ turned down an offer from Bellator before signing with BKFC

by **Kickass32** Sat Aug 22, 2020 12:00 am

I'm seeing noise about Tito and Chuck signing to fight BK.....it has to be a joke, right? Unfortunately it appears as if it is legit

by jax Sat Aug 22, 2020 7:28 am

Hope its a joke, Chuck's chin is beyond shot and the fight should not be sanctioned. And shame on Tito for even wanting to fight Chuck again after their last joke of a fight.

by **Kickass32** Sat Feb 06, 2021 9:02 am

Well Paige VanZant lost her BKFC debut in a lopsided 5 round decision last night

by **Kickass32** Wed May 05, 2021 9:42 am

Some "big" names coming up in BKFC next card in June. Hector Lombard is fight Joe "diesel" Riggs and Thiago Alves is back on
