I'd prefer my longsword to any gloves. 
First guy to wear a glove in UFC.
I've started following a bare-knuckle fighter on fb at the moment, called Decca Heggie, interesting to say the least!
The BKB scene is growing really quickly and there's half decent money to be made at the minute as the skill level of the guys fighting is pretty low so people with a half decent boxing background can do well, if it continues to grow as it is though i can see many pro's that struggle to get licenses switching over. I know a few lads from the MMA scene that have got involved and seem to love it, though apparantly the people you get at the shows are even bigger dick heads than those that attend a typical MMA or boxing eventFirst guy to wear a glove in UFC.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised, but it is sort of in a grey area legally. Have to say, on the 'd
heads', yeah, just reading the comment sometimes amazes me, not least because I feel I need interpreting software to understand what they are talking about.There was a big fight recently between Decca and some 6'7 20 stone bloke called, Cyril. UNreal.

Anyone watch Bamma:The Big Fight on Saturday? One can see why the beardy guy is called the Spartan.
I haven't watched it on TV as I was there and the last two fights were pretty dull. Bamma have strated uploading the videos to youtube now from the show, our fighter Harry Marple picked up a good win

Yep, from what I've seen the main event was a brutal affair!
How is Hunt a #5 heavyweight?!? He's 10-10-1. That bout went on for too long. The official should have stopped it in Round 3, Hunt was a human punching bag. Every single fight I see of him has been the same: he comes out for first round or two swinging and dangerous, then he gets tired and it gets into a total slugfest as he takes shots. He's a tough b
d but he's not winning fights like that. Edited by g4ry13 on Thursday 14th May 01:42
Without reading anything aboput 187 - fking BT Sport managed to completely kill the recording, starting the recording at the end of 187. So, I have to keep myself away from UFC, Youtube, this thread and everything else until 22:00 today. s!
I have seen the prelims, which were terrible. Boring or disappointing performances.
