“Bumfights” star changes course and refashions legacy
Rufus Hannah looks down at his hands and sees reminders of what he used to be, maybe the most famous homeless man in America. Famous in a bad way.

He was the degraded and brutalized “star” of a 2002 video called “Bumfights,” which captured him in full drunken abandon, riding in a grocery cart down concrete steps, running head-first into walls, punching his best friend.

Tattooed across his knuckles are the letters B-U-M-F-I-G-H-T.
