This illegal fight club has been around for several years now, as I’ve personally clicked on one or two of their videos on Instagram out of curiosity.
The locations where these fights take place are very secretive, and can happen inside of a warehouse, the front of a project building or even a bodega. Those attending the fights must pay to attend the events.
