English Ultraviolence

Storyline

Heavy Weekend 01: Underground “no rules” fight clubs are spreading fast across Europe, organised in secret and hidden from the authorities. No tickets, no spectators, no public locations. This isn’t bare-knuckle boxing. Eye-gouging, biting, stamping, head-butts and choking are all allowed. It’s not sport—it’s organised ultraviolence. Hanrahan attends one of the UK’s first no-rules fight clubs to find out why young men are risking it all on the concrete.
