Remember during the 80's and 90's

[MrScorpio]

That there were a whole bunch of movies where martial arts guys were beating each other up in private arenas for the sole benefit of a select few rich fuckers?

Does this shit ever happen?

1. yes, yes it does

[MrScorpio]

2. Did anyone ever end up dead?

I can't see things like this being televised

4. As a medic I got to respond to a tplace that looked like

fight club... not in the United Staes, but comparning notes they exist all over the world. My particular EMS response we took one to the hospital wiht head injures. They tried very hard to keep the cops out of it.

6. If you ask me, that's some pretty sick shit

The things people do for money

Bad enough boxers and wrestlers put their lives on the line as they do. But they do do it out in the open, with commissions and standards there is at least the appearance of limits and controls. Even UFC has some transparency.

But to do it privately is insane. I guess that these guys really have nothing to live for except to fight.

7. You will not get an argument from me

It is pretty sick...

But taht is not the sickest of all things that go on and most people are oblivious to, such as White Slavery and child trade.
