Idk about you guys but i always loved watching bare knuckle fights on youtube. Whether it was Kimbo in his prime or a bunch of gypsies going at it beside a camp site. Its so raw that even boring fights are still more enjoyable than boring regular boxing fights.
This is a great first step to making bare knuckle fights a norm. It will grow and soon more states will start to sanction it with the amount of research starting to come out supporting the fact that bare knuckle fights are more safe in terms of brain trauma. Gloves protect the attacker and allow much harder punches. This is number 1 bullshit. Punches need to be placed properly with fantastic technique everytime otherwise you will hurt yourself. This is how fighting should be like.
MMA and Muay Thai should go in this route too. It will change the entire game. In Muay Thai you will see more elbows and kicks. Same thing for MMA, plus improving BJJ with no more glove holding. You will see tons more rear naked chokes.
Fighting needs to be realistic. Gloves are one of the worst things we came up with.
