i don't agree. i can't equivocate striking a defenceless opponent and a boxing match. even the oildome was a fairer fight than slapping.

i won't accept loss of life as a cost of doing business, but i'd hazard a guess that the sad event would be less to do with the bare knuckle aspect of it and more to do with the safety protocols, officiating, access to medical attention etc that comes with the territory of low budget affairs.

cuts are grizzly, but better a little bit of blood now than a shitload of further trauma thanks to padding imo.

Yeah but don't you watch BKFC now and go "drat this poo poo is bad but iat least it's not slap fighting"? I kinda do.

Two people died in canada after boxing matches 6ish years ago. David Whittom and Tim Hauge . Maybe the rules are just really dangerous.

Tim Hague died because he was taking bouts while suspended for getting Koed, and the commissions weren't communicating with each other

So um I spent a couple minutes reading the wiki entries for these people and lmao all of the people he’s talking about before Carlos seem to be some completely unrelated Gracie family whose history Rickson stole to make his own family’s pre-1900 history more interesting.

Can you show your evidence of this and convince me? Because this is hilarious.

Can I just make a vote, whichever way that we go, that we don't put "Dana White" or "Power Slap" in the thread title? I really like the "Pride" wordplay anyway.
