Dat Nguyen is 37 he won by brutal KO last night and is 2-0 in bare knuckle. Nico Hernandez is debuting next month.
Some 12-1 bum blasting kid also debuted last night (Ulysses Diaz). First round KO win.Comment

Might be worse for cuts and hands but it's easier on the brain and body. Instead of a boxer throwing hands at you for 12 3-minute rounds, you have mostly older MMA dudes throwing hands at you for 5 2-minute rounds.With Nico jumping into it I'm assuming at his level it's a solid 5 digit number & more than he's making boxing as a lil guy in the US.
With the severity of the cuts I think it could be a costly mistake for him despite the $$$ upside. Hopefully he doesn't take much damage in these fights.
I think it's a nice lil extender of the back end of ones career for older guys or journeyman. Prospects & younger guys with potential it seems a bigger risk even if the paycheck might be sexier in the short term. Ultimately boxing has a much bigger upside so risking bad cuts that could end your career or build up scar tissue that could be problematic in the future seems -EV.
Bit of a trade off.Comment

Don't forget Ishe Smith. He might be heading to England later this year to fight the BKB champion there.
Ishe won his first Valor Bare Knuckle fight by an easy decision but that promotion only ran one event so far.Comment
