According to TMZ (so that means it’s legit) George Zimmerman and his promoter Damon Feldman have decided to duck me and he will instead fight 43-year-old rapper DMX. I can’t say I’m shocked at this turn of events. They want Zimmerman who’s slimmed down a lot btw, to have a fighting chance. DMX is an out of shape washed up rapper who has a history of drug abuse. I’m going out on a limb here. Zimmerman will win this fight in the first round by KO. I envision DMX coming out of the gates hard and with no skill swinging for the fences for about 45 seconds before gassing. Zimmerman (who actually trains in boxing) will keep his guard up whether the early storm and when DMX tires send most of the viewing audience and those in attendance home pretty pissed off. I smell another Zimmerman celebrity boxing match in the future. Why rush to give people what they want? When you can string them along and get more of their money first?
Friday night 7pm Fox Sports1 aka 925 on my dial and one of my favorites on the menu. A dude named Big Foot who had gigantism and needed to have his pituitary gland removed so he’d stop growing and could live longer is fighting another dude nicknamed the “Super Samoan”. Where do I sign up? Seriously this fight won’t go to a decision, sit down, strap in, and get ready to watch one enormous human being knock another one silly.
BOSTON – Dana White is no stranger to political battles, but the latest efforts from Boston City Council President Steve Murphy – a man White refers to as a “jackass” – have left the UFC president incensed.
“The ball-kicking continues, even once we get here,” White told MMAjunkie.com. “This Murphy guy. You elect a politician to hopefully go out and bring in jobs, create revenue in your city, bring in events that bring revenue to your city. This guy comes out and he’s saying all this (bleeping) stuff like ’18 and under’ (not allowed at the event) and all this other stuff they’re doing to us.
“Then sure enough, this hearing, 25 of the Culinary Union members are there. And this guy busts out a video of Chael Sonnen talking about Anderson Silva in Brazil. First of all, this is the fight business. This isn’t the nice business. This is the fight business.
“And when people ask me about it, I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. We’re in Boston, aren’t we? Don’t the Patriots play here? (Bleeping) Aaron Hernandez just murdered somebody and possibly murdered two other people. Are the Patriots going to get chased out of town now? Are they going to do 18 and under?'”
After a public hearing this week Murphy sorta relented and said OK no one under 16 can go to MMA events in Boston. So Dana White’s question still stands in light of Aaron Hernandez should we not allow kids under 16 to go to Pats games? I’ve asked Murphy on twitter if he realizes that Kids younger than 16 actually TRAIN in mixed martial arts. I see them at my school on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’ve grappled with some of them. They hear things worse than Chael Sonnen selling a fight on any hip hop album. Are we going to say they can’t listen to that too? Where does it end Councilor Murphy you Union Shill? So next time when the UFC is coming to Massachusetts I hope they do an outdoor show in Foxboro so Dana can stick it up your ass and the city of Boston loses out on all that revenue. Providence must be pumped at that idea. All that money from hotels, bars, and restaurants going to them instead of Boston. If you don’t think Dana White and the Fertita brothers wouldn’t do something like that to prove a point you obviously don’t know who they are at all.
I got tickets to see Joe Rogan at the Wilbur in Boston on August 16th. I’m excited, but I’m WAAAAAY more excited to see Uncle Joey open up for Joe. I’m serious.
I admit that I was rooting for Chris Weidman. He comes from a wrestling background like myself and he’s also a Renzo Gracie guy and I go to one of his affiliated schools up in New Hampshire. Plus Anderson Silva hasn’t lost a fight since the Bush administration, so this was an upset of EPIC proportions. Besides he’s been pulling the “I’m going to put my hands down to bait you in just so I can counter punch you into unconsciousness’ for about five years now. It was nice to see him get what he asked for and get KTFO.
