That's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson of UFC/Pride fame playing BA Baracus. I wouldn't expect him to be a new Mr T, but I suspect he will be hilarious.

Still no desire to see this, though.

I was just looking at the salaries for UFC 106 and the lowest payout was $6,000 to Jacob Volkmann and that was for losing! At the other end of the spectrum is Forrest Griffin and Tito Ortiz who each got $250,000.

I'll never understand what gets people to participate in stuff like this, but it can be very entertaining to watch. Bloody mess by the end.

Kenny Florian probably took home in between 150,000 USD - 300,000 USD for this victory.
That's based on the numbers for his last comparable fight, which were 40k for base-pay and 40k for win bonus (source), and sponsorship deals are probably another couple 100k.

that would be air humping, not dry humping.

this is dry humping: http://www.videosift.com/video/UFC-Fighter-Awkwardly-Dry-Humps-Reporter-During-Interview

This is K1, not UFC. Sapp never fought in UFC.

This fight was largely ready to go, with K1 rules where Sapp had a small chance of winning, but Tyson's felon status kept him from getting to the Japanese venue.

*dead *dead *dead!

Here's a rutube embed. It's a little slow to buffer but it probably won't disappear on you.

That guy did not look like he was okay.


Not many people do when they're knocked unconscious. =)

At a recent UFC event Chris Leben got choked out, leaving him unconscious and convulsing on the octagon floor. Ninety seconds later he was walking around like normal, though fairly pissed off that he had lost. The knockout here was a little more severe, but it's still safer than boxing.

yeah, me.

eewww... why are boys so icky???
Why do we have to get dry humped all the time??


I can think of some girls that dry hump guys...

Never heard of this guy, but he is still a liberal at age 55.

He is akin to a podunk strongman challenging the UFC champ.

This isn't a reflection of the mindset within the UFC, it's an example of "Rampage" Jackson. He's always been that way and it seems to work for him (and his fans).
You could just as easily look up Lyoto Machida or Rich Franklin and use them as evidence that the UFC is very positive and respectful. Just like most sports, there will be a mixture of wonderful people and idiots.


Yeah, I know plenty of fine upstanding gentlemen that beat the shit out of each other on a regular basis.

Regardless of the presentation there's nothing "positive and respectful" about sanctioned violent behavior.

Doesn't seem to bother her the slightest. Some pro journalism skills right there.


Makes you wonder how many executives, executive assistants and middle management types she's slept with to get where she is now.
