The appeal of bare-knuckle fighting is multifaceted. For fighters, it represents a return to the elemental aspects of combat, unencumbered by the gloves and the restraints of more regulated fighting styles. “I will always turn into Mike Perry fights. I’m a fan,” Johnson admitted, reflecting the magnetic pull that bare-knuckle fighting exerts on both fighters and aficionados alike.
For audiences, bare-knuckle fighting offers an unfiltered experience of combat, where every punch, block, and movement is accentuated, laying bare the skill, strategy, and resilience of the fighters. The OverDogs Podcast crew’s endorsement of BKFC Denver is indicative of a broader sentiment that resonates with a growing audience, eager to explore combat sports beyond the established norms.
The potential for the growth and mainstream acceptance of bare-knuckle fighting is significant. In a world saturated with various combat sports, bare-knuckle fighting emerges with an authenticity and intensity that sets it apart. “Nobody is beating Perry in bare-knuckle,” Mac from the OverDogs Podcast asserted, highlighting the unique skill set and allure that this fighting style embodies.

Comparisons to other combat sports are inevitable. Yet, bare-knuckle fighting is not seeking to emulate or replace existing disciplines. Instead, it is carving its own space, offering an alternative that is as raw as it is refined, as primal as it is professional.
As the combat sports landscape continues to evolve, the rise of bare-knuckle fighting is a testament to the diversity and adaptability of this world. It’s a reminder that the spirit of combat is not confined to specific rules, regulations, or styles but is a living entity, ever-evolving, and adapting.
In the reflections of Johnson and the OverDogs Podcast crew, fans and fighters alike are invited to explore this emerging world of bare-knuckle fighting.
It’s a journey that transcends the boundaries of the octagon, the ring, or the mat, venturing into a space where combat is as elemental as it is electrifying, where fighters and audiences converge to experience the unfiltered, unadulterated spectacle of skill, strength, and strategy laid bare.
In the rise of bare-knuckle fighting, the combat sports world witnesses not just the emergence of a new era but the resurgence of an ancient art, redefined, reimagined, and reborn in the modern spectacle of combat sports.
