gypsys have been bare knuckle fighting for years, although theres not much skill in it if you ask me, doesnt take much brain power to stand there and knock 3 bells of shite out of someone.
they'll never ban ufc as its becomming to popular and making to much money and even if they did it would only move down to mexico, the whole brutality arguments been thrown around for years for boxing but thats never been banned, govenments stand to loose to much money to ever ban it and if ufc keeps going the way it is the same will apply there.
ufc's become very tame compared to its early days but its had to in order to be seen as a "professional sport" which i would say has been for the better.
it wont be long till sky sports catch on and start showing it when the bravo contract is up so that should promise some ppv shows etc.
