Last night's event was bare knuckle MMA, not boxing.

even more interesting. was not aware of thtat. thanks for sharing! will be following the event series, since it seems a little more exciting, than the one pretending to be ultimate.

I was surprised too! Totally expected boxing when I first tuned in.

They start the tape behind the knuckles down to the wrist. The knuckles are still exposed. I’m guessing the tape provides some structural support to the hand and wrist.
