Jorge Masvidal is pretty active on his Facebook page. His posts have a large variety, from street fights to fights in the rings, and from common rivalries to long-lasting family feuds. Recently, Masvidal posted a story about the infamous gypsy brawl between the Nevin and Joyce clan. 

Gypsy fights are considered to be one of the most brutal fights that are ruled by technicalities and officiated by referees. The families of each clan put forth an amount as a bet, and a third neutral party keeps it all safe till the winner is declared. The tickets to these fights sell for about $89.5 USD. Even though the fights are fought with bare knuckles and zero paddings, the technicality is always maintained. 

Surprisingly, the amount of money that is put at stake is not low. The fight between Davey Joyce and Patrick ‘Bigfoot’ Nevin had a stupefying amount of $40,000 USD at stake. Although the fight was held in Sunny Hemel Hempstead, London, audiences from over the world had eyes on the fighters.

He captioned, “One of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen!” Certainly impressed by the bare knuckles and the fighting spirit of the fighters, Masvidal couldn’t keep in his excitement. The video showed the extremities that the fighters are willing to go to for the sake of their clan’s reputation.

The fight went on for more than thirty minutes. Throughout the fight, the referees stopped the fighters to make sure that no serious injury was received by either end. The skills of the fighters were indeed admirable. They were a force that ignited even the Gamebred’s fire. Both Nevin and Joyce had great defense, but every punch that connected was equally devastating.

The outcome of the bare-knuckle match

Doubtlessly, the match continued for about half an hour and left the fighters heavily bashed. Although the fighters were bloodied, neither of them was willing to back down and give up. Ultimately, the referees stopped the match and the fighters unwillingly touched their bloodied fists to conclude the match. 

These fighters had a lot at stake apart from the money and respect. Gypsy fights are honored and serve as the deciding factors for feuds between the clans.
