We’re not sure of the time of the fight since it’s in Japan, so Jose Canseco might already be dead. In case you haven’t heard, America’s favorite steroid-shooting, whistle-blowing, self-promoting moron is making his MMA debut today.
His opponent? A 7-foot-2, 350-pound Korean named Hong Man Choi. Now we admit, we don’t know a whole lot about MMA, other than every time we see it on TV we think we’ve stumbled across some gay porn (not that there’s anything wrong with that). And to tell the truth, we’re not sure if a guy named Hong Man might be better suited for a career in gay porn.
Anyway, the last time we saw Jose in the ring, he was getting pummeled by Danny Bonaduce, who we’re pretty sure has seen his share of gay porn.
Jose is talking a good game, which is what Jose does best. And frankly, he should be getting good at it. Nobody has called more press conferences in the past five years than Jose. And a few times, he has been outnumbered by reporters at the press conferences. He told reporters Monday, “While having a tight defense and using my footwork well to move around, I will take him down and end it on the ground with a submission.”
What were we saying about gay porn?
(Update: Canseco was apparently demolished by Mr. Hong (er, Mr. Man? … er, Mr. Choi?) in his much-ballyhooed debut. The “fight” was stopped at the 8:42 mark of the first round. By the way, the organization that promoted the bout is called Pride. Fill your own joke in here.)

it’s as if Jose Canseco enjoys exposing himself to as much public ridicule as possible
