What to Watch This Weekend: Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

With cable, Netflix, and internet options, finding the best thing to watch during your downtime is difficult. Instead of flipping through menus all weekend and settling on nothing, turn to What to Watch This Weekend, a series in which we give you our pick for the best new show or movie available.

You have to go back to 1889 for the last legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare-knuckle boxing match on U.S. soil. Considered barbaric by some—though we could get into the whole “gloves actually protect the hands and encourage more devastating blows” debate—bare-knuckle boxing is back. The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debuts on Pay-Per-View June 2, and it will run you $30. If other combat leagues don’t feel “real” enough for you, consider dropping the cash to see how this turns out.
