MMA…and Borat?


Apparently someone over in the Underground Forums attended a MMA event in Texarkana, Arkansas for only $5. Oh yea, beer was also only $1. Does this raise any red flags yet? Well, it should.

so i went to this show last night in Texarkana, Ar…it was advertised as cage fights, $5 entry, and $1 beer…

we get there and the production and security is top notch….about 4 or 5 professional videographers….had to sign a tv release form upon entering arena, no cameras, no cell phones…

the name of the event is Red, White, and Blood….a banner from the ceiling reads “straight Dave’s man slammin matchup”

the fighters were all area and local, and put on a hell of a show…except for the 1 fight that looked like the toughman and the two 3oo plus pounders that lasted 8 seconds.

Razor Rob made an appearance (the crowd was not impressed, since they had no idea who he was)

then this guy comes out acting like BORAT and talks in an accent and messes with the crowd…in between fights

they keep promising a double main event with 2 titles.

the BORAT-esque character comes back out and has a staged phony fight with a guy from the crowd….and then fights start breaking out in the crowd….then a guy jumps the cage…and the crowd cheers for him as security escorts him out of the cage, like he just won some kind of prize.

the production company cancels the remainder of the show and cites “security reasons” as their cause….

Well, the poster, GSPenn Fan, explains that he talked to the CEO of the event center and it was held by the same production company in California that produced Borat. Yikes. Expect redneck MMA action at a local movie theater in the near future.
