MMA…and Borat?

By Brandt DeLorenzo on Jun 06, 2008

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.

Another quote…

yea, i was mesmerized by the $1 beer…..the atmosphere just felt crazy….about midway through the show they raised beer prices to $4….and then back to $1..30 mins later…..they were trying to stir up wild rednecks for the cameras…..and of course it was very easy.

i feel like ive been part of a sociological experiment…its really crazy how easy it is to manipulate the masses.

and…

yes, and when this movie comes out its really going to make MMA fans look like hicks and rednecks….there were several, and i mean several people there that didnt have teeth…..and one of my redneck friends pointed out how odd it was even for texarkana….ive been to the toughman at texarkana several times and the crowd never looked like this…..it looked like the hills have eyes 3…..i think the production company imported them from somewhere else.

I can’t wait to see this.

    Man, a lot of dumb rednecks getting mad at Sascha Baren Cohen, calling homosexuals “fagets” and “cocksuckers”, making empty death threats, typing in all caps… kind of just reinforces the stereotype, yeah? Makes me ashamed to live in the same half of the country as you neanderthals.

    To whatisthewhat:

    You couldn’t HAVE (not “of”) said it any better. Like you and the other functional posters on here, I think it’s pretty embarassing to be associated with uneducated, dense, humorless halfwits that have no desire to ever see or understand the world beyond their own insular towns (with the exception of Cancun, possibly).

    To the aforementioned offenders (the vocal minority): Don’t get so defensive; you got taken, let’s move on…

    “YOU WOULDN’T LAST A SPLIT SECOND IN THE CAGE WITH ME. I COULD JUST LOOK AT YOU AND YOU WOULD COLLAPSE.”

    Wow, you’re making me hot. I bet you were a really popular bride in the joint. Your Razorback ass probably squeeled like a little greased piggy at the county fair when Jose Vasquez stuffed his chimichanga in your Arschenhalle.

    Ariba!
