Got a head ache just watching, can't imagine how much pain they endured, certified Warrior's. Much Respect...
My knuckles hurt just watching 😂
They don't feel anything
This is probably closer to a street fight then real boxing. With that adrenaline going, you barely feel getting hit. You'll definetely have a headache later though. Usually you'll feel body shots right away but not getting hit in the face
Yeah they probably didnt feel much pain in the hands or head during the fight but after it? Damn
Dazed but no pain
Crazy to see “Let me bang bro” Doing good in the BKFC.
I don't care what anyone says , RESPECT to whoever steps in there
Agreed. Brutal. Dropping years off your life in these hand to hand wars.
He wanted to bang for years and people got in his way, now that he can bang all he wants, nothing but success!!!!!
True warriors they really really are, pushing their bodies to the limit and still going they are warriors to the core.
All of us calling them warriors wont help them when they reach their 50s with their brains completely damaged and paralyzed or something.
That’s what you call them huh …
@@4npushap352 Sure, why not? Physical combat. I decided to never do this but it takes a lot of courage and discipline.
Its dumb
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3 16.’
Love him or hate him, Julian Lane is a super exciting fighter inside and out of the ring. Dude is funny and a straight scrapper.
He's a scrapper in terms of bareknuckle fighting. He doesn't do very well in the MMA world at all. He's better where all he has to worry about are fists coming at him with no takedowns or skill involved. As soon as any real skill is required, he fails...badly. He would be destroyed by legitimate boxers too. He's definitely a warrior and fights with his all, but, he will never be anything above where he's already at.
Your tweakin
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry yep felt to get into the UFC like what three times probably could even make it to pfl
Caveman is from the best era of Bellator. Back in the Alvarez vs Chandler days. I was legit a bigger fan of Bellator back then. Caveman is a beast. happy for him and Lane out here making money doing what they do best.
He gave up against MVP..
Yup dude is getting to bang for sure
@@jayday7805 yeah I was just gonna say that, I remember watching that fight
Good thing he wasn't fighting MVP again
@@BT-ve5pv If that can crusher tried this sport he would get nasty KOd like when he got shot by Lima.
How tf the decision that spread out, this fight was nuts on both sides. Absolute monsters, bare knuckle is no joke.
i think ones ability to get not get knocke dout supercedes actual fghting ability, at the top of the game, you must have a head like a brick.
Ring generalship + aggression
Judges need to be fired!
50-45 and 49-46 is 1 point difference, wtf are u guys talking about?
Maybe because all lane did was clinch stalling the fight therefore general aggression and control of the fight goes to rickels
That was one helluva scrap ...... respect to both fighters👍
Ok Floyd spell ur name
Respect for all the bare knuckle boxing fighters 👊🏻
old school scrap right there
@JK I disagree I think people are alot softer
Hell yea that’s a toe to toe pound for pound fight. True warriors at heart both of these guys.
Wow! This is as raw and bloody as it gets. Respect to the participants of this brutal sport battling it out.
Check out king of the streets its gets even realer there 😏
You should watch mannered chimpanzee
Awesome fight. I was expecting a knockout uppercut but they both just kept going - animals!
"LET ME BANG BRO!!!!"
This was pathetic fight
@@mattsavage9960 sure bro, whatever u say
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life John 3 16.’
10 minute bare knuckle fight was more entertaining than the entirety of Mayweather's entire 50+ fight career lol
I'll agree on this.
These guys are a different class above the rest. Two warriors fought to the end and in my humble opinion the right man won. Respect! I salute you!
Ive always rooted for Lane but now that Rickles is bare knuckle, I have to go for him. Best walk-outs ever in MMA. Had a bad performance against MVP but I still like him.
It takes a different breed of human to do something like this. Just crazy physical sacrifice and toughness. That commentator is really good also.
Amazing really, the heart the 2 displayed was really inspiring. Great fight.
The prize money and fame has to be exceptional to go through that much pain and exhaustion. Concussion would have to be the end game for these warriors leading to brain injuries in later life. You have to tip your hat to these men. Outstanding fight. 🇦🇺
it's not
Actually more fractures than brain damage in bate knuckle
@@Naturalcalvezilla is there some sources for this, im pretty sure your head getting rattled regardless of gloves or not it was causes CTE/brain trauma?
Damn, these fighters are savages. Awesome match
A fight that won't be forgotten!!! I love you Julian!!!. Amazing really, the heart the 2 displayed was really inspiring. Great fight..
DAYUM !! That Rickels/Lane fight was brutal and THE BEST Bare Knuckle fight I have seen YET !!! Those guys were tough !! Great 👍fight !
That was pure insanity. I’m a Rickels fan all the way but man, Julian Lane was tough as hell and when he came alive, he came ALIVE. I was rooting for him by the end of round 2. Just a hell of a job by both men, much respect
same way i felt when he fought mike perry. heart of a lion
0:00 pause for a second and watch the knukles on this duds, theres no air on this bones, its a mass of solid calcium, its like being hit with a hammer
Now that was a fight! They both have crazy heart. Respect!
Damn! Letting the arms go and swinging hard! Much respect to the fighters.
Julian Lanes every breath must've been agony for weeks after this war... damn cavemans bodywork was nasty.
Couple of warriors right there. Great fight!
Wow, what a great fight. That's the best fight I've seen in a long time. I got two new favorite fighters. I have to give it up for both of them. Amazing
"LET ME BANG BRO!" HAHAH never gets old.
The level of this sport seems to have risen vastly since i've last seen it. Definitely gonna watch more now 😁
If you get hit by Francis Nagano you'll either remember it forever ou u aint gonna rernbermuch
@@zackeryaverine8057 Why r u talking about Francis? 🤨
A fight that won't be forgotten!!! I love you Julian!!!
Are you he’s mom?
@@Lambiscon4906 yes
This fight is always fun to watch. Thank you both gentlemen
I remember training with David rickels back in the day when I was about 14-15 in Topeka Kansas. Dude is a beast. I’m glad to see him making a hopefully successful transition to bare knuckle
Im glad lane found his home in BKFC that was a great fight frfr
5:54 Ol dude done uppercutted himself 🥴
neither man would quit,neither man would give up,dead on their feet but still battling,fantastic slugfest,kudos to both these warriors,i tip my hat
Rickels pace was legendary! Just came from a fight were every other punch sent the guy to his knees. These guys were both legendary!
Everyone can hate on Julian, and I can see why... but dude always puts a show on.
Cave man is a freak. But he's walking into a different fire when he fights Richman.
Great fight much respect guys loved it
great editing - saved me watching the fight cheers
Uppercuts for days in this fight holy crap! I feel for their overall mental and physical health after this fight though.
Great Fight! I don't know about 40-35...It was closer than that.
"just let me bang bro." -Julian Lane
Absolutely agree about fight of the year! Gladiators in a pure battle! All the best
Echte krieger
Damn. Both fighters did great. Both winners in my book. Lane didn't fall . Dude did great
Both winners but both losers also. They did amazing but I bet the next month will be hell till they’re healed up.
Der fight war richtig krass hätte mich gefreut wenn lane gewinnt
Respekt für beide,richtig geile schlägerei mann gegen mann
@@golischer4479 ja man grossen Respekt für beide ! Die Jungs haben haben Eier wie bowlingkugeln
@@manuelthomsen3406 bareknuckle ist wenigstens wieder R echter männerkampf,suche sowas in deutschland,auch privat
@@golischer4479 ich wüsste nicht wo Es gab ja schon bearknuckle Fights in germany
@@manuelthomsen3406 ja,aber nicht mit wirklich nackten knöcheln,das geht zur Zeit leider nur privat,suche Gegner dafür
Two super great fighters ..... what a fight!
What An amazing fight. Stunning . Rematch please!!
Damn who could hear the baby crying sound loudly around round 2 and 3 😂
It was a crackbaby for sure
i was wondering if anybody else noticed, but i think it's a screeching wamen
Right!? I was thinking “who brought a baby to a fight?”
You got to love haymaker fights! It takes me back to being a child and watching DBZ minus the annoying screaming.
one of the best fights i've ever seen. incredible courage and intensity. they swung from the rafters from the first second of round 1 to the last second of the bout. was so hoping for Lane to send a goodnight punch in the final round. not to be but so much respect for both men.
Gladiators,what heart on these 2,wow real warriors 👏 💙,godbless.
This sport is awesome, but I can't imagine the amount of hand injuries
*head
The sport of MMA is awesome idk what to call this
Julian was getting merked
Respect both fighters! Superb fight!
these are some warriors. respect to them!
That was total War. Both fighters won by surviving hell.
At one point in the 4th round I heard a baby crying! Who the fuh brings a baby to a BKB match?!
Both of these guys are absolute beasts with chins of granite. Big respect!
one of the best fights I have ever seen!!!!!!
Imagine Mike Tyson in his prime doing this 😂
he broke his hand once bare knuckle boxing I think, gotta train those bones first
Wouldnt be any good. Cant hit as hard without the gloves
@@kybalion5205 that’s not how that works
@@kybalion5205 Bruh. Certified stupid comment right here.
@@francisconikotian2326 Pretty much like shin training
Отличный бой! Правильное решение! Отличная зарубу получилась.
Outstanding Effort from both Fighters, See why it Won FOTY!!
