Bareknuckle fighting might sound savage but there’s a rationale that it might in fact be just the opposite.
Bec Rawlings made history winning against boxer Alma Garcia at the Bare Knuckle Fight Championship, the first sanctioned bare knuckle fights in over a hundred years to go down on US soil.

“I have no doubt that I’ll be back in the UFC in a year’s time,” Rawlings said, per theHerald Sun.
“I was fighting the best in the world in the UFC, and I dropped some decisions, but I beat some tough girls and I really proved that I really did belong in that division.
“I don’t think anyone’s going to stand a chance against me outside of the UFC, so I really think I’m going to put a stamp on any of the divisions outside of that and give the UFC no choice but to re-sign me.”
