About Back Yard Brawl (BYB) Extreme Fighting
BYB Extreme Fighting Series was born on the urban streets and backyards of South Florida. Originally developed as a way to settle community disputes without using weapons, Back Yard Brawls grew in popularity, attracting trained fighters and celebrities along the way.

Dada 5000 (Dhafir Harris), co-founder of the series and a former competitor, put everything he had into the raw nature of his competitions, so much so that it drew the attention of famed television and movie director/producer Billy Corben ("Cocaine Cowboys", multiple ESPN "30 for 30" documentaries). Corben was so impressed and interested in the sport of bare knuckle fighting he shot a major documentary on the history of the sport, Harris and the Back Yard Fights titled "Dawg Fights." "Dawg Fights" premiered at the Miami Film Festival on March 12th, 2015 and is now widely available on Netflix where it has earned a 5 star rating by viewers. The sport has continued to garner significant attention during the first half of 2015.

BYB Extreme Fighting Series Custom Ring
Unlike most fight series that have 4 or up to 8 corners, the BYB Extreme Fighting Series are set in a Diamond Shape 'Triangular' ring with 3 equal sides 18' in length, creating a ring just over 130 sq. ft. with only 3 corners and 180° of absolute mayhem.
