Is Bare Knuckle too violent?

[Geese]

As the article states the Bare Knuckle FC 5 main event between Artem Lobov and Jason Knight was "captured and later savvily edited by the marketing department, showcased 10 minutes of blood-pumping, teeth shattering strikes. Lobov had his hand raised but left the bout with swollen gashes scattered around his bald head."

Is Bare Knuckle taking combat sports to a whole new level of violence?

It is very violent, but I think there is a market for that and if people don't like it just turn it off...

No one is forcing anyone to watch it.

Not for me, too violent and real.
Having stated that,if their is a market,
let the market have their fun.

It's for sure violent as hell, but if that's your thing, go for it. I like seeing that shit go down, it's a good adrenaline rush

I think it is too violent to be broadcasted but if you wanna go see it live and enjoy it, more power to you. I don't even like standard boxing or MMA because it gets too bloody.

Yeah, it should be shown on PPV and maybe not on regular TV...

Not for me, but as long as those getting involved know the risks then it's their choice to make. If there's a market for it being promoted on PPV then good luck to those involved. There should be the sufficient regulation and vetting though, if bare knuckle fighting becomes lucrative then the worst kind of business people could and likely will get their grubby mitts involved and things would subsequently turn dark if there isn't regulation in place to best prevent that influence

I would think they already took the precautions before even starting hosting these kind of events, but I don't know...

I would hope so, but many booming industries are quickly funded by men who use that as justification to get involved in a troublesome manner. Just hope the promoters don't bite off more than they can chew
