We’d Love to See Herschel Walker Bust Jose Canseco Up
http://squabbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/canseco_nighty.jpg
Even though his fight with Greg Nagy wasn’t the most entertaining battle in MMA history, I came away from watching Herschel Walker’s professional MMA debut a huge fan of the Heisman Trophy winner’s moxie, resolve and respect for a sport he clearly loves.
Then Jose Canseco did what Jose Canseco does, flap his lips and make idiot noises about wanting to take on Walker.
I, for one, would love to see that “fight” take place if only to put an end to the sorry carnival persona that Canseco has carved out for himself.
Maybe a broken arm would help Canseco move on to a career he’s more suited for, something like, say, condom pitchman or selling see-through silk shirts out of the trunk of his car.
"Canseco wanted to fight me, and what’s strange about it is that what I do is not a circus. Not going in there playing, trying to make money.
My money went to Pastor Evans at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. All my proceeds went there. I didn’t get into this to make money. I got into it for the competition.
Jose is doing this for the money and my thing is: if he wants to fight me and thinks it’s going to be a circus, I will hurt him. This is not a joke, I will hurt him.
I don’t do things as a joke, as entertainment. When we go out there and play a flag football game, that’s entertainment, that’s having fun. But this MMA fighting is real.
You can get hurt and he doesn’t understand this. I’m doing this as a fighter, not as a joke"
