I'm not sure of why it was until today that I learned of this sport. It's a 27 versus 27 bare knuckle / kick boxing match that lasts for 50 minutes and involves a rugby ball. The only rules are fights are one on one (not sure that one is really obeyed, especially if you have the ball), no sucker punches, and no choking ... touching of the hair seems to be fair game. It happens in Italy, and these dudes give back the Italians some street cred after watching all the flopping they did in the World Cup.
Oh, and the winning team gets a cow.
