Is this actually legal?

I can't believe this! Why would we want sports such as extreme fighting? For those who don't know, extreme fighting is people trying to beat one another out of their senses. The game seems to have very few rules. Boxing is much safer than extreme fighting. The surprising thing is that, in spite of its dangers, no extreme fighter has ever died in combat.

The movie Fight Club I think got many people rowdy about this and its not like its something that unheard of. I am sure through out the years people have been doing this longer than many think. I could see the attraction to it, we do have boxing which is pretty extreme out there (even though they follow a set of strict rules now).

I'd not heard nor seen anything like it until the movie Fight Club as mentioned. So I wonder just how responsible the film is for the increase in the popularity of this. Being beaten senseless is certainly nothing that interests me.

The only difference with it is that they aren't using boxing gloves and there are less rules.  Two men (or women these days) pounding the tar out of each other has been going on since people left their caves the first time.  We'll never see peace in the world as long as those types of contests are still considered a sport.
