Interesting format. Definitely a lot bloodier.

I prefer this format...it's more true "man to man, step up or shut up" IMO.

Early UFCS were similar to this format in that they went Bare knuckle as well. Heat butts were also allowed and made for bloodier crazy matches early on before they switched.

Ouch.

Looking forward to seeing some old tai chi guys sign up to this format.

Don’t worry about old tai chi guys how about some of you real fighters sign up
Plenty of pubs here in Australia where I can do that on a Saturday night and get a bit of HEMA thrown in for free

Sparring or fighting with boxing gloves on is tough enough...if tough is what one strive for

I'd much rather see this than boxing. Bet the long-term injury rate is lower, too. Kind'a like American football vs. rugby...

]I'd much rather see this than boxing.
with that i realized the thread is about what fight competition one prefer as an spectator, not how one prefer to spar or compete
