1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Causer Media. 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: You're listening to the Away Days podcast on the ground 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 2: outside reporting from the underbelly with me Jake Hanrahan. To 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: watch Awaydays documentaries, go to YouTube dot com slash at 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 2: away Days TV. This is part one, No Rules Is 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: No Rules, Episode two. This podcast is a production of 7 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: H eleven Studio and Call Zone Media. I leave the 8 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: hotel at eleven pm and jump in the rental card 9 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: that I've got. The guy at the desk said he'd 10 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: upgraded me, given me a much bigger car for camp. 11 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: Turns out the streets and can a very narrow and 12 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: the likelihood of scratching a car increases significantly when said 13 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: car is upgraded to being much bigger. Clearly he was 14 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: looking to pocket the deposit. Let me just tell you 15 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: they really hate Brits here in the south of France. 16 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: I take my time driving through the night, following the 17 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: map to get to the destination this victor fella sent 18 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: me earlier. I drive up steep hills and I can 19 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: see the sparkling lights of the harbor in the distance, 20 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: where celebrity yachts bob up and down. The roads here 21 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: are dark. The few street lights that are installed on 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: this steep incline illuminate only big gates with high walls. 23 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: This is a compound type community for people that make 24 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: huge profits. Even in the dark. The area seems quiet, discreete, 25 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: and affluent. After about ten minutes, are pulled to a 26 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: stop at the location. It's a turning circle at the 27 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: top of a hills, surrounded by fenced off wasteland, characteristic 28 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: for the opulence of the rest of this area. A 29 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: message Victor, I'm here. He's seen it. No reply, though 30 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: I sit around waiting. This is surely a ruse. They're 31 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: laughing now about how they tricked the nosy reporter me 32 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: into traveling to can into a rich gated community. No 33 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: less to see a no rules fight on concrete. I'm 34 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: sure of it. I get out the car and wander 35 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: around the street. Lights are dull here, but enough to 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: illuminate the Waldorf housing compounds connected to the wasteland. It's 37 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: the tail end of a wealthy street, but with a 38 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: few strangely abandoned buildings on the wasteland, no doubt ready 39 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: to be torn down by developers. My phone buzzes Victor. 40 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: Two minutes. I head back to the car and wait. 41 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: Sure enough, a small black VW pulls up the hill, 42 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 2: headlights and blur faces. 43 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: Inside. The car is full. 44 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: It pulls to a stop near me, and Lad's dressed 45 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: in all black hop out. They look around. They seem paranoid. 46 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: A few of them are wearing black face masks. One 47 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: has sunglasses on. Past midnight. I exit my car wearily 48 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: and greet them. They nod, say hi, and then two 49 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: of them tell me their names. It's Victor and Leon. 50 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Thank god, it's not a scam. I'm not allowed to 51 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: record at this point, but in thick French accents, they 52 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: explain in English that they just wanted to meet me 53 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: before the fight tomorrow. They seem more nervous than I am. 54 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: But the fight is actually real and it will be 55 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: taking place in one of the abandoned buildings behind the 56 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: spiked fence of the wasteland. Honestly, I can't think of 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: a worse place to hold an illegal underground fight. But 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: they explain that not everything in can is Rolex and Hollywood. 59 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: The palm trees, the yachts, the red carpets. That's all 60 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,559 Speaker 2: the rich folk to and can into a playground for themselves. 61 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: They say there's another side to the city. Though that's 62 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: where these guys are from. Lower income, drugs and inequality. 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: Due to the ultra wealthy buying up the land and 64 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: the luxury bricks and water can property prices rise even 65 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: for those living below the breadline. The richest ten percent 66 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: of people in France owe nearly half of all the 67 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: money and property in the country. As you can imagine, 68 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: the beauty of the southern French coast is a huge 69 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: magnet for this abundant wealth, and so Leon and Victor 70 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: explained to me that there's a deeper reasoning for them 71 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: to hold an illegal, violent exit society type event inside 72 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: the belly of the Beast. They tell me that this 73 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: is their way of taking back their city. Gentrification and 74 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: movie stars might push them out of their own homes, 75 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: but they won't stop them turning up and taking over 76 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: one of their abandoned buildings for a no rules fight. 77 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: There's some defiance to this, as they explain it, their 78 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 2: focus isn't necessarily political. It's just a very straightforward fuck 79 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: you to a society that's happy to abandon them. 80 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. 81 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: I quite like these lads already taking back something unavailable 82 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: to them due to hyper plutocracy, even if just for 83 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 2: a moment, is quite appealing. I've seen my own town 84 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: back in England become more and more expensive while conditions 85 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: get worse and worse. Why because rich yuppies from London 86 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: are able to buy a nice but cheap houses near 87 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: the train station and commute one hour into the city 88 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 2: for work. Problem is they spend next to no money 89 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: in our town and simply use it as a place 90 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: to sleep. We got all the negatives of a dying 91 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: town and none of the questionable positives of gentrification. It's 92 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 2: not exactly the yuppies fault, but it's nonetheless excruciating to 93 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: see the council try to rebrand the shitthole as a 94 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: business hub while working families from the area get poorer 95 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: and poorer. I like the idea of Leon and Victor's 96 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: fight club. I agreed to head back in the morning, 97 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: very early in the morning, though, they said like in 98 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: four hours. They want it to be low key before 99 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: the rich folk wake up. I head back to my 100 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: hotel and set about ten alarms. After a few hours 101 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: of trying to sleep, my first alarm goes off. 102 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: Great. 103 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: I couldn't sleep. Honestly, I'm pretty buzzing to see my 104 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: first properly organized no rules fight club, as opposed to 105 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: just two lads meeting up like Joey and Bashtid. I 106 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: get ready, first down about a pint of coffee, and 107 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: drive up to the gate community where the fight will 108 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: take place. As the sun rises, the beauty of the 109 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: is visible from every corner of the winding roads up 110 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: to the fight area. The view alone must add an 111 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 2: extra fifty grand to the house prices here must be 112 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: incredible to wake up to that. 113 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: Every morning. 114 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: Drive up the hill and the total and complete contrast 115 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: dawns on me, the safe, sanitized, wealthy neighborhood and the 116 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: organized ultra violence that's about to take place. It's perfect. 117 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: No rules is more than just fighting. I pull up 118 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: to the wasteland and I can see it all now. 119 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: A few broken down buildings behind, a spiked iron fence, 120 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 2: overgrown shrubbery in every direction, a huge concrete water tower nearby. 121 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: It's a strange mess at the highest point of what's 122 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: otherwise a beautiful place to live. One of the lads 123 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: steps out from the makeshift fight venue, all in black, 124 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: head to toe, balaklava hood up emotions for me to 125 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: come through a bent out gap in the railings. So 126 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: I jump out the car and off I go up. 127 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 3: How are you doing? No bad? Three? The gap is 128 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: the arena fight over here. 129 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a crazy view. 130 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who around here. No worry 131 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: about the police. You didn't catch that. 132 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: I said that, you're not worried about the police, and 133 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: Victor said, we're gonna say proper delinquents. As for the building, 134 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: it's a crumbling concrete block with two floors. It's maybe 135 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: an old observation post. Everything is covered wall to wall 136 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: with random graffiti. All the windows are put through and 137 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 2: some of the stairs are falling down the floor though, 138 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: oh it's spotless. Whilst I was trying to sleep, this 139 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: group of young French terrorways spent last night getting the 140 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: place ready. They swept out the broken glass and piles 141 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: of rubbish and what the concrete ground till it shined. 142 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: They're very proud of it. This is their first proper 143 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: event as the recently formed No Rules Fight Club, which 144 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: now has a name FPVS. What FPVS stands for is 145 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: hard to translate properly into English, but it basically means this, 146 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 2: don't come around here. Trying to suck our dicks when 147 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: we get big. No, I am not joking. That is 148 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: about the clearest interpretation you can get. Two lads who 149 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: founded FPVS. Victor and Leon are both twenty years old, 150 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: and they look it. Neither of quite grown into their 151 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 2: frames yet, and they're hardly the typical street fighters you 152 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: might think of. But they're lean, alure and they hold 153 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: themselves in a way that shows they're probably prone to mischief. 154 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: Despite being up all night getting things ready, they're still 155 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: full of energy or cocaine or a mix of both. 156 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: Either way, they cannot wait for the chaos. 157 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: What is it about fighting that you love? 158 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: Sodri and Alindra, You don't have any another problem or 159 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: you're just think to fight, concentrate and we love comportation 160 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: and see who's the best. 161 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 2: Leon has an air of old school French arrogance about 162 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: him when he speaks, he's quite a lot like the 163 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: guy that upgraded me with the big car. He's aloof 164 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: shrugs a lot, that's just him. Victor is the opposite. 165 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: He can't help but be friendly and candid. They were 166 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 2: not duo, but it works. Both are well organized, highly motivated, 167 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 2: and they both love fistfighting in a world that thinks 168 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: they shouldn't. 169 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: I can express myself nothing, the fact to help people, 170 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: in the fact of extra vertin energy inside me. The 171 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: society always you always be counted by people you can't 172 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: really explore. And when there is no one, no rule, 173 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: and no glove, you're just free, like you're just one 174 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: and one, No no knife, no, just and one and one. 175 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: And we see like it's the greatest thing. I think 176 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: it's the best you. 177 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: Feel like you said that, like society is always telling 178 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: you like calm down, calm down. Do you think there's 179 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: something inside you that, like inside everybody that can't always 180 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 2: do that? 181 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think it's really important because here 182 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: it's in a city where they want to show to 183 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: people who they are. But there are nobody, you know, 184 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: there is rich people in front of the beach. 185 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 3: There nobody. 186 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: You can't explode, you can't express way hourly inside of you. 187 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: So do you do you prefer it? There is a level? Yeah, 188 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: I think I think. 189 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: I think it's it's grown adrenaline. You know, it's more magical, 190 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: like you see when it's legal, like you need to 191 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: add two A lot of foul, a lot of nile 192 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: of paper. You need to do this to do this. No, no, 193 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: we do what we want, what we want, we do. 194 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: We don't have any restriction. 195 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: We like our. 196 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: Activities, we like our art, and this art it's much 197 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: important if it does right away. 198 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: So you see this as like art. You think this 199 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 3: is art. Yeah, that's really interesting. You know. 200 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: I don't know the definition of art. But when it's 201 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: beautiful and you like it, you're crave it a little bit. 202 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: You see it, you're happy a little bit. It's it's 203 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: it's a shock for if you want to see people 204 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: the body, but it's art. 205 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: It's I don't like the castle. I like this. You 206 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: like fighting. 207 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: This is art. I don't like Pocasso. I like this 208 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: for young lads like Leon No rules is a kind 209 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: of art. The two lads who will be fighting for 210 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: FPVS today in can I named Louis and Warren. The 211 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: FPVS guys leave me up the stairs to meet them. 212 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: The boys in the early twenty and are up on 213 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: the remains of the abandoned structure's outdoor patio area, the 214 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: shadow boxing, amidst piles of broken glass and concrete debris. 215 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: From here I can see the perfect blue of the 216 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 2: French Riviera's coastline. In the near distance, the sun has 217 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: risen into a cloudless sky. The famous yachts at the 218 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: harbor are twinkling, reflecting the light from the sun. Directly 219 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: in front of me, though, on the patio, two thrill 220 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 2: seeking lads are preparing to knock fuck out of each 221 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: other as part of an underground fight scene. Even amidst 222 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: the beauty of the court Desore, the unapologetic ugliness of 223 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: pre arranged violence is most compelling. Several FPVS members, of 224 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: which there are around a dozen, help the two fighters 225 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: get in the zone. They wrap their hands, hold pads, 226 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,119 Speaker 2: g them up. Warren is black, about six foot two, muscular, 227 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: lean and as a fighter's gait. 228 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: Louis is white, about five. 229 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: Nine, skinny, fat, and honestly seems out of his depth. 230 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: I ask Louis why he came here, why he's decided 231 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 2: to fight in such a hard core manner. 232 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 3: Why are you going to do this myself? 233 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 2: To be about the concrete floor, You're not worried about that. 234 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: It's quite dangerous, I know. Luck As for Warren, it 235 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: looks fine, confident, ready to go. Not nervous, Yes, no, 236 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: not nervous. 237 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: First time. Good luck. 238 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: From where I'm standing, the odds don't look great. And 239 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: let me tell you, as a teenager, I got my 240 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: head kicked in plenty of times. I'm speaking from experience. 241 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: This doesn't look great. Warren is shredded head to toe 242 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: and Louis looks entirely uncoordinated without any real conditioning. It's, 243 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: of course true that muscles don't win fights. With no rules, 244 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: anything can happen. But still I feel a bit worried 245 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: for Louis. I asked Leon what he thinks about the 246 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: clear size difference. Indifferently, he just tells me they weigh 247 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: the same. He shrugs it off and reminds me that 248 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: Louis put himself here. He contacted the FPVS guys via telegram. 249 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: He told them he wanted to fight, so now he's 250 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: here to fight. If you can find the right people 251 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: and are genuine about fighting, it can be that simple. 252 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: Warren and Louis are still warming up with the FPVS crew, 253 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: Deryl Mail and all around eighteen to twenty five. There 254 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: are a mix of several different races, and each of 255 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: them is dressed in a black tracksuit with various different 256 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: brands of trainers. They're a blur of night tear Can, Balenciaga, 257 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: Berbery and EA seven. Some of them have specially printed 258 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: FPVS hoodies and T shirts. They mill around helping fighters, 259 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: chatting and rolling splits. So the kind of lads the 260 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: upper class of the Riviera probably crossed the road from 261 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: They seem jovial enough to me, though when I get 262 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: on well with them. Now, I'm obviously an outsider in 263 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: this world, but they're all pretty chilled about it. No 264 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: one has a real issue with me being there. I 265 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: sit chatting to one of the guys as he holds 266 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: pads for Louis, who is throwing wayward punches here and there. 267 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: The FPVS guys cannot wait for the violence to start. 268 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: Then we hear a shout from downstairs. 269 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: It's time. 270 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: Leon gathers the fighters and everyone heads down the half 271 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: collapsed stairs into the main area where fights take place. 272 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: There were two pillars in the center of the room. 273 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: Red and white caution tape is wrapped around them loosely 274 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: as a means to cordon off the area where the 275 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: crowd now stands. 276 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: On the floor. 277 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: In the center, the FPBS logo is spray painted onto 278 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: the concrete. A wolf with red eyes. The air smells 279 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: like weed, smoke and stale sweat. Everyone inside is buzzy. 280 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: Some are Warrent's friends, some are FPBS, and others are 281 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: unaffiliated who guns and street fighters who've just come to 282 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: watch the show is on. Louis looks nervous. Warren calm. 283 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: He cracks his neck and bounces on his toes. Ready 284 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: to go, Louis picks up the wraps on his wrist 285 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: and clenches. 286 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: His hands tight. He looks extremely uncomfortable. 287 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 2: Leon walks into the center of the concrete room and 288 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: signals that everything's ready. The two fighters join him on 289 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: each side, and before the balling starts, everyone in the 290 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: room sings the French national anthem with their handheld on 291 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: their heart, an unexpected show of unity amidst this underground scene. 292 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: He goes on and on and on. Everyone in the room, 293 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: both masked and not sings along. Everyone but me, of course, 294 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: I am British. I want to be sick now, many 295 00:17:50,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: joking a bit la masse ends. Finally, the two fighters 296 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: bump fists and head to opposite corners of the room. 297 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: Leon signals by nodding at Victor. Victor gives the go ahead. 298 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: It's on. Fight. 299 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: Two fighters meet each other in the center. Louis throws 300 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 2: a badly timed roundhouse kick. The bounce is clean off 301 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: of Warren's leg. Warren throws two jabs straight into Luis's face, 302 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: catching his chin, his day. 303 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: His guard drops. 304 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 2: Warren shifts in, grabs Louis, picks him up, drops him 305 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: down to the concrete. Louis tries to throw some defensive punches, 306 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: but Warren is all over him like a dog. He 307 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: rains down elbows into Louis's face. Louis goes feetle covering 308 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 2: up his head. Leon moves in from the sidelines, ready 309 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: to see if the fight needs to be ended. The 310 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: crowd is wild with excitement. They want blood. Warren continues 311 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: dropping elbows. A few miss, a few smash into Louis's 312 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 2: forehead and temple. Louis throws up his hands and taps 313 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 2: the floor. He's done. Leon grabs warr pulls him off 314 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 2: of Louis. 315 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: The fight is over. 316 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: Louie is helped up offer the concrete by FPVS lads. 317 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: Wilt's bruises and bumps already pat in his face. He's 318 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: got blood at his lips. He's well and truly beaten, 319 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 2: but he's smiling, so is Warren. The two fighters embraced sincerely, 320 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: and the crowd cheers even Louder win or lose respect 321 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: in this world is essential. 322 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 3: You're brave man. 323 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: The fight lasted about one minute total. Louis got battered, 324 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 2: but I'm not sure the outcome really mattered that much 325 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: for him. He showed up, which counts for a lot 326 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: when you consider the stakes. That's part of the notoriety 327 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: of this. There's something uniquely daring about no rules. You 328 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: could end up permanently disfigured, brain damaged, or dead, way 329 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: easier than every other combat sport. No rules isn't sport. 330 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 2: Ask Louis how he's feeling in as makeshift fpvs. Medics 331 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: whoever's holding the plasters an antiseptic tend to his wounds. 332 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: He tells me he feels good. He says he lost, 333 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: but that's part of it. He's got blood in his 334 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 2: mouth and knuckles of graze the skin around his eyes. 335 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: Bit will live. Could have been a lot worse. No 336 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: serious damage. I'm joking. I asked what his family might 337 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: think when he comes home with his face backstop. Louis 338 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: pauses for a second, then he laughs and says, don't 339 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: tell my mother. In contrast, Warren is completely unscathed, not 340 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: a mark, He's barely even broken a sweat. He tells 341 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: me he traveled overnight for this and months to fight again. 342 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: He's an ice lad. That both are pretty normal other 343 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: than this, outside of the chaos of clandestine fighting. Warren 344 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: works as a laborer on a building site, and Louis 345 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 2: is a waiter in a restaurant. These violent young men 346 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 2: build homes and serve food. They keep the world turning. 347 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: The clandestine FPVS event was success. News of the fight 348 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 2: club is spreading fast across France, already all across Instagram 349 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 2: and Telegram. Afterwards, I head down to a pub in 350 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: the city with Leon and Victor, out of one world 351 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: into another. Hours ago we were in the bando watching 352 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: two fighters try to incapacitate one another. Now we're in 353 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: central can amongst Rolex shops, PALMDI or Smam and the 354 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 2: ugliest Italian sports cars ever built of Aguinness. The FPVS 355 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 2: lads tell me how they're different to cots and that 356 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: they never pay anyone to fight. No one involved gets 357 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: a penny. If anything, they're in a deficit after preparing 358 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: it all. It's just for sport, they say, somewhat ironically. However, 359 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 2: Leon and Victor explain to me that whilst they're different 360 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: from Cots, they are of course inspired by them. All 361 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: of the new Noruls fight clubs across Europe wouldn't exist 362 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: if it wasn't for them. All roads lead to King 363 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: of the Streets. 364 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 3: Before they start King of the Streets. 365 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: Hype Crew was one of many active football who look 366 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: in firms in Europe. They'd meet mostly in the fields 367 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: and forests of Scandinavia, fighting their rivals in pacts of 368 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: ten against ten, six against six, fifteen against twelve, twenty 369 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 2: five against twenty five, whatever was agreed on between organizers. 370 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: This kind of activity takes place in secret all over 371 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: the continent every single weekend. It's nothing new. Hype Crew, though, 372 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: was when they started fighting. They were unique from the 373 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: get go. They were a football who look in firm without. 374 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: A football team. 375 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: They're just all about the violence. This is not as 376 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: unusual as it sounds amongst the seeing. It's an open secret. 377 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: The plenty of football who logans in Mainland and Europe 378 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 2: don't actually care that. 379 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 3: Much about the football. 380 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 2: It's the aggression, camaraderie, and sense of belonging that they love. 381 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: Football is a base to gather for young men looking 382 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 2: to be part of something the world over. For hooligans, 383 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: the fight and sets that in stone. No matter how 384 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: advanced or progressive or civilized life gets, it will always 385 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: be true that there is something primordally special about forging 386 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: bonds of friendship through fighting together. People might say they 387 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: have your back, but do they. Perhaps your best friend 388 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: remembers your birthday every year, calls you when you're lonely, 389 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: and supports your endeavors. But would they stand and fight 390 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 2: if you were attacked? Would they run? Would they abandon 391 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 2: you to get your head kicked in the first majority 392 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: of people will never have to find out and probably 393 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: don't even think about it. And that's a good thing, 394 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: I guess. But things like this don't matter until they do. 395 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 2: For hooligans, they already know their friends would stand and 396 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 2: fight every single time. This is the foundation of their 397 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: bond from the get go. It's almost like the course 398 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: of a friendship in reverse. The most literal form of 399 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: backing your friends is what they begin with. Anything else 400 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 2: is a bonus to your average law abiding citizen. This 401 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: is a horrible way to live. They have no decorum, etc. 402 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 3: Et cetera. 403 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: But honestly, who cares They don't They're choosing to live 404 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 2: outside of society. 405 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 3: Now. 406 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: My point is, the reason King of the Streets is 407 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 2: so clandestine, yet so well organized and so influential is 408 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: likely because it started off from this base of arranged 409 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: fighting hooliganism. Some Hype crew members were hooligans for various 410 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: different firms in Sweden before forging their syndicate of what 411 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: is essentially a freelance firm with no loyalty to anything 412 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: but each other. This, I believe is a big part 413 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: of what's kept King of the Streets so consistent and 414 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: so well respected in the underground. When I get back 415 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 2: home to the UK, the lads from FPVS contact me 416 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: and let me know that everything went well. There haven't 417 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: been a rest. All the fighters are happy and their 418 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 2: fight club is getting dozens and dozens of new applications 419 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 2: to fight now that the footage is all across Instagram. 420 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 2: All in all, despite the pretty basic fight, things were 421 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 2: a success. It also turns out the word has gotten 422 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: out in the clandestine fighting underground that there's a reporter 423 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: trying to make a film about no rules fighting. 424 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: Let an old me. 425 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: Some don't like it, some don't care, but others are 426 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 2: pretty interested. It seems in general that these people trust 427 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 2: what I'm doing and understand they don't have some snitch 428 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 2: ulterior motive to out them as lunatics or whatever. I'm 429 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: just interested. Also, to be honest with you, I don't 430 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: really see what's wrong with grown adults deciding to fight 431 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: each other consensually in private, in a controlled setting. That's 432 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: their business. Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. 433 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: There's also some irony in the way states condemn no rules. 434 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: For example, one fighter who's undefeated on cots was banned 435 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: from fighting in professional mma in his own country for 436 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 2: doing no rules. The state decided he was too violent. Meanwhile, 437 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: that same government sent millions to a foreign country to 438 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 2: assist them in carrying out daily war crimes in the 439 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 2: Middle East. You tell me what's more violent, no rules 440 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: fighting or bombing children. Now, I don't mean to be dramatic, 441 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: but this is something else I find fascinating about no rules. 442 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: It unintentionally exposes human nature's undying connection to violence. No 443 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: rules is just unapologetically honest about it. 444 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: Now. 445 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 2: As you can probably tell, this is a male dominated scene. However, 446 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 2: I've got words since returning from can that there's about 447 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: to be the very very first female no Rules fight. 448 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: It will be happening soon in Germany. More on that 449 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 2: in the next episode. If you've been listening to the 450 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 2: Away Days podcast next week episode three.
