So file this under bizarre... former MLB slugger Jose Canseco attempted to start a career in MMA last night in Yokohama, Japan. Jose Canseco is a big man, measuring 6'4" tall and 260lbs, but looked like a child after stepping in the ring against the giant Hong Man Choi of South Korea. When you are an inexperienced fighter, why would you challenge a man who is 7'2", and 330 lbs?The fight only lasted 1 minute and 16 seconds, and can be watched in it's entirety here... (actual fight doesn't start until the 5 min mark)
With an obvious reach disadvantage, I'm not really sure why Canseco would even consider standing up and exchanging kicks/punches with Choi, but Jose darted in and out not really landing any significant blows, before apparently tweaking an existing knee injury and suffering a mild ground and pound from his massive opponent.
Then again, getting pounded by a seven foot Korean man is less embarrassing than THIS.
it's as if Jose Canseco enjoys exposing himself to as much public ridicule as possible
ReplyDeleteSome people just don't know when to accept the fact your career is over, and fade into the background.
