CagePotato.com is proud to introduce MMA Mythology, a new comic collaboration with illustrator/highlight video editor Kahleem "KahL-One" Poole in which urban legends from MMA’s history are brought to life. In the first installment, Wanderlei Silva and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua do battle over a pitbull puppy; yes, this really happened. Click the images for full-size versions, check out the rest after the jump, and let us know what you think!
That was dope shit. I think the following storylines are good:
1) Rampage’s trouble with the law…and the law won
2) Overeem’s barfights leading to a festering hand and/or ducking Strikeforce
3)Paulo Thiago’s crimefighting adventures
4) Fedor’s superpower supply of ice cream (obviously) and horizontal sweaters
5)Lloyd Irvin and Brandon Vera disarming a hostage takeover robbery attempt
6) Boondock’s tribute to Giant Silva
i was literally thinking about this story today wondering where i heard it. thanks CP.
lol @ the side check kick comment
Absolutely fucking awesome. More more more! PLEASE do some Bas Rutten stories at some point. I’m begging you!
i heard about this story but forgot until now, this is rad, keep these comics coming
Can’t knock the hard work but the end product is kinda lame, sorry man.
@undrcroft:
When did Wanderlei deny it? It looks like he told the story to Fight! himself last year…
Do a Diaz bros. special:
MMA’s answer to Bluntman and Chronic
This has been denied by both Wand and ShoGun. If its mythology don’t say it really happened.
Usually when the axe murderer gets the puppy at the end, it’s not a happy ending.
Oh fuck yeah
I love these kinda comics, CP will have it all soon.
Just need to do regular interviews.
Awesome, nonetheless.
@ fightcow
That would be a “side check kick”.
And yall thought toney was just blowin smoke.
I think we would all loved to see one showing how the russian government built the fighting robot/terminator that they named “FEDOR”
Yeah, seriously, bring on the Bas Rutten. You could have a whole comic series.
You could call it, “Bangada-Bangada”.
Plus, I think that IF this happened, it happened about eight years ago, like Jimbonics said.
@ winklepicker – in chute box they knocked each other out in training every day lol
I want one with Bas Rutten in a foreign bar, please!
They fought to a knockout over TWO HUNDRED BUCKS?
what kind of retarded move was shogun trying for wanderlei to end up in that position?
Fucking incredible! Can’t wait for the next one…
I’ve seen enough horseshit decisions lately to know that this fight was rigged!*
*or it happened 8 years ago.

Ugh! Based on the above comments it looks like the concept is a success. Personally, I think it’s retarded, and as my name indicates, I’m an expert on such things. I’m not saying there’s no place in the MMA world for an MMA comic, I just didn’t think it’d be here.
Props to Kahl-One. Good artwork. I seriously recommend he contact Bas immediately to work out a deal for a Bas Rutten comic series. Putting his stories into comic form, as someone suggested above, would be a money maker.
