If kimbo is a "real" streetfighter why were there rules in all of his bare knuckle combat videos?

Question

dont you think he should have just gone ahead and fought them like it would be in the jungle? with no rules? he had ridiculous no grappline or wrestling, but then when he started loosing to sean gannon he tried to shoot in on him, cheating, but then when sean started grappling his crew started whining, they shoulda just been on the street with no one interfering.

Answer 1

street fighter? maybe stupid ?no besides they were agreed to matches so dont qualify as a street fight.have one of them walk down the street and then have someone suddenly jump out and try to brain them with a tire iron or baseball bat that's a street fight.

Answer 2

I agree.  And if you notice in the few fights he gets punched in the face he grabs his opponents legs and grapples when in trouble.  Still I wouldn't mess with him.

Answer 3

cuz its the only way he can win

Answer 4

There are no real rules for street fighting at least as I know a street fight.  Unfortunately for televison there are rules.  Americans live in a sanitized world, where even the war is not shown on a daily basis.  Americans love sport, but the reality of blood is too much for mothers.

I grew up in a much different society where we all knew we were going into the Army and probably going to war, so things like this wouldn't be sanitized, they probably wouldn't draw much interest either.

Answer 5

Because a "No Rules" streetfight is called a WAR and people shoot you.

Even in fights that are technically No Rules there are rules of etiquette that have been followed since the beginning of time when two people are fighting by mutual agreement. They have varied and do vary through time and by place, but they always exist.

Answer 6

Why don't you tell that to Kimbo and his guys and see what they tell you?? It's more interesting to just see these guys have to throw punches rather than wrestle and grapple anyway. Watching guys get jacked in the face is more fun.
