Gladiator collosium matches to the death with bare hands and no weapons is motherfucking DARK.
and I say that as someone who is decades of desensitized to violence.
"To the asleep" is pretty much where I draw the line.
I could see a Russian or Eastern European Org doing that.
Probably get away with it (KOs only, no tkos) for a year or so, like when they did that football league with no fair catches.
You can do dumb shit like that once/til people catch on that it is a terrible idea and people are getting hurt.
have you seen that mma league that fights on concrete floors, looks like they film in a parking garage.
Someone is gonna die there.
I hope to God I am wrong,
but it is concrete and physics is a thing
and human skulls are not invincible.
