Shaquille O'Neal is interested in investing in the development of America's largest Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

The legendary NBA basketball player attended the BKFC event in Florida last weekend and was very impressed with the bouts he watched.

“They are the greatest and coolest athletes in the world,” said O'Neal. "The fact that they don't use gloves makes them the toughest guys. For me, this is the future of martial arts, the way it should be!"
