Yeah, me and my brother used to “beat the shit out of each other” doing pro wrestling moves and occasionally hitting each other like kids do. Absolutely not the same thing as trying to knock each other or choke each other unconscious.It's always amusing when some idiot declares that he and his brothers used to "beat the shit out of each other." No, you didnt.
What the fuck are you smoking, its one thing to have a fight with your brother when you're kids, its another to literally fight your brother to finish them, unless you hate them I guess. Yeah you would jump in there and get paid to play touch butt sparring for 15 minutes with your brother, because no one knows who you are and no one expects anything from you, but if 2 known fighters actually tried to finesse the promotion like that, I don't know, I see there being some negative consequences.I don't understand why there is this unwritten "brothers shouldn't fight each other in MMA" rule. I mean, I have two brothers and we used to beat the crap out each other as kids. Why not do it for money?
You think the Diaz brothers never beat each other up as kids? The Emelianenko brothers? Hell, the Noguera brothers were twins, there wasn't any "big brother advantage" there, you don't think they fought?
I love my brothers but if a MMA organization approached us and said, "You guys want to jump in the cage and fight?" I think we'd look at each other and say, "Well...we used to beat the hell out of each other, why not do it now for money?" Especially since the money would be really good, how many PPV buys do you think Diaz vs. Diaz would get based on the "brother vs. brother" aspect alone?

Smart. Brotherly competition is for the home's backyard, not in a contact sport.I won't even let my twin boys wrestle each other in tournaments when they get thrown in the same bracket against my wishes.
No there was definitely a lot of blame to go around. Booking two best friends/training partners against each other in a regular-season fight was poor matchmaking with predictably poor results.They should be professionals and one of the bow out then. Blaming the org is a cowardly act.
It would suck and be crap. They would not land with full force and will probably have the outcome drawn up prior.
If it that's obvious then why bother commenting on this thread?Everyone knows you dont make brothers fight.
It's beneath consideration.
So everyone who wouldn't have a problem seeing two brothers willingly fight for money when they used to beat the crap out of each other for free makes us sociopaths and trollers?Putting aside the obvious sociopathy/trolling for why people actually want to see this, such fights would actually be shit for consumers.
Even if one brother wasn't taking a dive, basically everyone would assume they were.

Yeah, let's go with that. #goodcall
