In 2000, BYU and UVU (UVSC) students put together a fight club, invite only, legal because of consensual altercation laws, fights got shut down not because of the brawl but bc of public disturbance as the group quickly grew to 100s of people in attendance.

Framed after the movie but with minimal damage (gloves and rounds implemented), the inexperienced fighters testified of the absolute spirit of vitalism inhabiting the club, describing it as filling a need they didn't even know was there.
Even the author of Fight Club Chuck Palahniuk was aware of that fight club chapter, and brought it up in interviews.
As people got excited and spread the word, the crowd became unmanageable, enthralled by emotions all too rare in our eunuchized society. The popularity of the underground club became its downfall, but who could blame them for running their mouth?
While snobs will call it LARPing or criticize the lack of technical skills of the fighters, the people who attend those know why they can't get enough of them. It is the Vitalism brought often so often by BAP that drives that urge.
To quote @mozartpalestine :"You can do a lot of damage with a ladder and a good set of tools, I don't condone it"

You can bring a surge of vitalism to your town by having guys punch each other in a parking lot at 2AM, I don't condone it.
Do with that what you will, I'll see you Monday night. #BYU #UVU #DailyUniverse

Nephilims, Giants, Demi-gods, Atlantis, and Mythology from Ancient Scriptures. Hercules was real, Zeus was a fallen angel, chimeras and manticores were man-made abominations. Let's go -->
In the days before the Flood (or the end of the last ice age, most likely same event), the Book of Enoch mentions "Watchers" (also called angels elsewhere) coming to Earth to supervise its development and teach men technologies and astronomy.
While teaching men secret knowledge that led to the construction of pre-Flood megalithic structures (Pyramids etc) these "sons of God" fooled around with the "daughters of men" and begat offspring we call Nephilims, Giants etc, Moses call then the Heroes of the old tales.
