Bare-Knuckle & Slap Fighting

Bare-knuckle fighting returned to sanctioned competition in the US in 2018, when BKFC staged its first event in Wyoming. Fighters wrap their hands but strike with exposed knuckles, in short two-minute rounds. Power Slap, created by Dana White, is a separate slap-fighting league with its own rules and scoring.
