A no-rules bare-knuckle mixed martial arts (MMA) street fight … what could go wrong?
There is no doubt that MMA is exploding in France since the country finally legalized it as a sport in 2020. There have been hundreds of events since the legalization, including two epic UFC events in which Ciryl Gane blew the room of the arena and a PFL event in which French kickboxer-turned-MMA fighter Cedric Doumbe had the crowd going insane.
However, while there are normal MMA, boxing, and kickboxing events taking place, there is apparently a somewhat secret underground no-rules bare-knuckle promotion that took place this weekend (Fri., Jan. 5, 2023), and there is footage of a brutal fight and knockout.
Now, there is very sparse information about this underground promotion. But here is some of the information.
- The name is F.P.V.S Social Fight Club.
- There are no rules and no time limit, but it is MMA.
- It is bare-knuckle.
- The first event took place in a concrete room.
The wild promotion released one fight, and it was brutal. It was between a fighter named “Trench Kid” and a fighter named “K the Legionaire.” The bare-knuckle fight lasted less than three minutes and ended with “Trench Kid” mounting his opponent, lifting him, and smashing his head into the concrete, leading to a knockout.
Watch the fight in its entirety below.

So, who knows how much longer this insane underground promotion will be around, but they should definitely book a Marlon Sims vs. Trevor Noah rematch from The Ultimate Fighter 5.
What do you think of this madness, Maniacs?
