“Good Way To Injure Yourself and Lose Your Purse” – MMA Fans Shame ‘Pre-Planned’ Brawl at BKFC Press-Conference

Brawls breaking out ahead of the fight have become a predominant case in the fight business. Regardless of the sport, whether it is boxing or MMA when two fighters share the stage before squaring off, they tend to go berserk at times. And it all helps with hyping up the audience for the fight. One such brawl broke out recently at the BKFC press conference between Lorenzo Hunt and Mike Richman. The altercation kicked off on a classic note with trash-talking and both the fighters went from exchanging verbal blows to landing hits on each other. However, usually, these instances are controlled before things go too far, but not this one. This heated moment led to a nasty fight between the fighters that destroyed the stage itself. Although, given the extremes this brawl hit, the fans found it to be of dull spirit and suspected its legitimacy.
