Chris Camozzi: Why Bare Knuckle Pays More Than UFC

UFC veteran and current BKFC star Chris Camozzi joins Erik Apple to discuss his unexpected second career in bare-knuckle boxing.

Chris details why the BKFC rule set (standing submissions, no gloves) is actually easier on his body than MMA training, and how hitting bags bare-knuckle corrected his punching mechanics. He reveals that his pay in BKFC is higher than his UFC earnings, justifying the higher damage risk. Camozzi breaks down the incredibly controversial decision loss in Rome against Alessio Sakara, which stripped him of his title, and addresses why he believes a rematch is necessary. Plus, he shares the amazing feeling of fighting in Rio with Anderson Silva and the moment he handed his coach his own knocked-out tooth.
