This guy cracks me up, he is going to get hurt in one of these stunts...

Actually some pretty decent fighters other than that on the card.


Ahh yes! Hong Man Choi, the 7'2" South Korean who has lost to Fedor Emelianenko and Mirko Cro Cop, is going to fight Canseco at DREAM 9 on May 26 in Tokyo. I'm not sure what Canseco's aim is in trying out MMA -- maybe he's just really broke -- but it should be hilarious. This fight is part of DREAM's open weight tournament, meaning that if he wins, we'll get to see Canseco fight again.

Outside of Fedor and Cro Cop, Choi has just one other pro fight, a win over Bobby Ologun. Canseco's fight experience is limited to celebrity boxing, where he was knocked out by former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema. Apparently, Canseco's stand-up is pretty awful, so he might want to take a crash course in jiu-jitsu in the next few weeks. Then he might have a hope of submitting Choi; otherwise, Choi's astounding reach advantage will overwhelm Canseco.

Canseco is going to get hurt if he keeps doing stuff like this. It's clear from his fight with Sikahema that Jose has no fight experience.

Choi is no joke, despite his freakish size. One kick to Canseco's head and he might lose any brain activity he has left.

Looking forward to seeing Mark Hunt fight, along with Jason Miller.

I haven't seen Hunt fight in a long time...he use to be a Certified Bad Ass, and was very entertaining!
