VIDEO: The stupidity of the 'Run it straight challenge'

Thursday 11 Jan 2018

This latest one-on-one submission comes from the United Kingdom and was brutal, to say the least.

Eighteen-year-old Tavis Hunter stepped up and dealt with his challenger in no uncertain terms.

The 'challenge' has been fairly controversial because of the nature of some of the tackles going in, mostly illegal and often alcohol-fuelled, with a high risk of injury.

The tackle above looked legal, but below you can see a compilation of some of the wilder ones – and proof of the stupidity of this all!
