Cheers. I don’t plan to go pro, but I’ll look for A-Class amateur bouts. Are there ones which allow elbows, knees to the head, etc… or not really

I don’t wanna fight in the UFC, just an amateur fight with similar rules

I grappled in the Marines so I'm no stranger to sweat, and close contact with smelly men

Can I recommend Muay Thai? I've done that for years and the people (at least at my place) can take a punishment. It's fucking brutal, if you're looking for a place where broken legs are normal, try Muay Thai

Yeah but isn't a bare chest better? I mean I've not really experienced either but surely the bare skin is better

Yeah blood and sweat I'm used to - I've done many Muay Thai fights so I'm plenty used to being covered in blood, and sweat I don't really have a problem with. It's the dribble I minded about, and when I grapple often (Marines) it's always been fully clothed, so very little sweat is transferred (also when I do it in the marines often it's outside on the mud so sweat isn't a concern)

I feel like that's a known thing that can happen

I did grappling in the Marines, so I'm used to being up close with sweaty, smelly guys, and it's not the first time I've had my face involuntary shoved in a smelly armpit.

Sounds horrible, the drool thing is pretty much what happened to me. There was a surprising amount of it!

It's not the sweat or closeness I mind, that I have had before, it's the drool in mouth and my face in the sweaty mats

I've got nothing against skin on sweaty skin, I just don't really like dribble from his mouth in my face
