MMA league could not fight in any states legally.To brutal with no rules.
You could head butt, Choke ,poke eyes, kick in nuts ect. It was a Gladiator sport.
They would fight until submission or knock out.Two go in cage one comes out.
The fights where held on the Rez because they are a Sovereign nation.
Guys like Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock would fight in this at times.
Not for the money but because they where F'N tough guys.
We are ring side at fight and they would bring drinks to your seat.My ex wife asks why do our drinks have covers and no one else does.Fights not yet started.I told her it was to keep the blood out of your drink.She thought I was joking.
Rules where later added and you have UFC.
Anyway Ken in town tonight promoting his new Bare Knuckle fighting league.
Fights scheduled this fall for the same place on the Rez where we say him fight all those years ago.

The fight in ND will be the first for the League and on PPV.
For some reason people think we are not civilized out on the prairie.
