Bulls fight for honor in UAE

There are no matadors or picadors, but bulls locking horns with each other draw big crowds to bullfights in the United Arab Emirates.
An hour's drive from Dubai's glitzy downtown, hundreds of fans gather in the eastern emirate of Fujairah to watch bulls fighting, or perhaps more accurately head butting, with honor rather than money at stake.
Unlike the Spanish tradition, which pits man against beast, the UAE sport involves two bulls locking horns in a three-to-four minute Sumo-wrestling-like fight that usually ends with no bloodshed.
