How do you prepare for a bare-knuckle fight? It’s tougher than you might think

BAD MMA News — Sat, 02 Jun 2018 11:32:51 +0000

Former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez was telling his old friend Chris Lytle about this weird thing he’d agreed to do. It was a bare-knuckle boxing event, he explained, sanctioned by a state commission, with rounds and rules and refs and judges, but no actual gloves. “He asked me how I was training and I said, ‘Eh, you know, just doing some boxing sparring in the gym,’” Rodriguez told MMAjunkie. “He was the one who told me, ‘No, you can’t train like that. Because a lot of the stuff that you can do with gloves on aren’t going to work in bare knuckle.’” It was then Rodriguez realized that he had a problem.

He’s finally being pulled back into combat, except he won’t be lacing up any sort of gloves.
