Jose Canseco scheduled for MMA debut

I was torn, as I did not know what board to post this on.
I figured this board would get more hits.

Dream 9

This is not just a small event either.
He will be in an 8-man open weight tournament with Bob Sapp, Hong Man Choi (who fought Fedor NYE 2007), Rameau Thierry Soukodjou, Gegard Mousasi, and Mark Hunt.

Canseco will be fighting Hong Man Choi in the first round of the tournament.
Choi is listed at 352# and 7'2".

I'm definitely rooting for Canseco...and he claims to know "martial arts"...I'm just not buying it.


I like the Jason Miller vs Jacare fight.

Is it on TV?

Is it on TV?

It will be hard to find live since it is in Japan, and will start at like 2-3am in the US.
There is a chance that HDNET might pick it up, but I am sure you will be able to stream it somewhere online.

Jose could actually beat Hong Man Choi (although he did mess up Fedor and CroCop with one punch before getting finished).
However, if he actually has to fight someone legitimate like Hunt, Mousasi, or even Sapp, he will get destroyed early on.

This has incredible train wreck potential.

Didn't Canseco try a MMA fight a couple years ago and get absolutely demolished?

hi got tko'd by vai sikahema

I am convinced that Canseco has absolutely no intention on winning this fight.
If by some miracle he wins, there is no way he would accept a second round fight.  It would literally be a death sentence for him.

The others in the final 4 will be very legitimate fighters.

Even Sapp?

Bob.

Well thank you for posting here. I don't watch MMA, but will be glued to this event.

Yeah I was very immature and stupid back then. Now I'm just stupid. I mean immature!

[broiler]

kid yamamoto is on the card as well.  he destroyed a guy i used to hang out with(caleb mitchell, son of artie mitchell) with a devastating knockout.  i havent been paying attention to yamamoto since then but he used to be a very competitive fighter.  it was one of the nastiest knockouts i have ever seen.

[broiler]

rewatching it, it isnt as nasty as i remember, but still a clean knockout

[TβG]

dang.

[broiler]

4 sec knockout by kid yamamoto

[BDawk]

He's got a weird stand up...He seems to keep his hands down a lot.

HDNET is carrying this fight.

[Big Hath]

this really needs to be a breaking news announcement at the top of the forums

HDNET is carrying this fight.

I will be streaming it.
I refuse to pay $6.99/month for HDNET.
I suppose I could just buy it for 1 month and then cancel it.
