In an interview with BoxingScene.com, boxing legend Bernard Hopkins lets loose with a homophobic tirade on how he feels about MMA.
“Everybody is different. I don’t want to watch two grown men wrestling with panties on. I’m from the hood, we don’t play that. To me, I’m not buying a ticket to watch two grown men with panties on, sweating, [with] nuts in their face. That’s not me. To compare that to boxing is ludicrous. It’s a porno. It’s an entertainment porno,” Hopkins told BoxingScene. “I’m not wrestling a guy with panties on and his nuts in my face, and they call that a sport.”
It’s just one of the many attacks boxing has made against MMA. This one is no less unfounded than any of the others, but this one has more to it. Hopkins seems so focused on panties, sweating, and nuts that you have to kind of wonder what this man has in his closet.
Just because their wearing women’s clothing doesn’t mean they can’t kick your ass. That’s the moral of the story for UK’s Dean Gardener and Jason Fender after they attacked two transvestites one night only to find out their targets were trained mixed martial artists. CCTV footage captures the incident. The fun starts at about 0:50.
As curious as I was to see how a mixed martial artist could parlay his skills into dancing, I simply couldn’t see it happening. Don’t get me wrong, I can see reasons why athletes should have the coordination to dance and I hoped that Chuck would kill it on the dancefloor. However, it would seem that fighters aren’t trained to pretend to look like they’re enjoying what they’re doing, and Chuck has this expression on his face like he’s getting his prostate examined. Oh yeah, look for Dana White in the crowd when Chuck does his swan maneuver.
Brucelee.com has launched, and features some great media about the life and philosophy of the late Bruce Lee. For me growing up, I idolized him for his physical ability and philosophy. He was pretty much who I wanted to be when I grew up.
The person behind the site appears to be his daughter Shannon Lee. It’s unclear to me how much of this is her cashing in, and how much of it is furthering her father’s legacy. In the intro video, she mentions that the site is in its infancy, and I hope it becomes much less of a merchandising opportunity and more of a community for users to find Bruce’s wisdom and how it relates to the modern era of martial arts.
