ESPN "First Take" brought Shaquille O’Neal’s personal trainer on so he could talk about the Diesel’s MMA training and mention the name of his gym and its website no less than a dozen times. The interviewer here seems oddly amused by her own ignorance of MMA, and really presses this guy to give her odds on the possibility of a Shaq vs. Chuck Liddell fight in the UFC. Let me put it to you this way, lady: there’s about as much chance of that fight happening in the UFC as there is of you taking over for Larry King when he finally retires/dies. Got it now?
But wait a minute, you thinking what I’m thinking? Given Shaq’s size and status as a professional athlete in a completely different sport, it seems like he’s just begging to be picked up for a fight in the beautiful city of Japan.
Shaq vs. Hong Man Choi, perhaps? Or Bob Sapp? Make it happen, Dream. It’s not like you have integrity at stake or anything.








Fuck that. If everyone can start doing it, I say go back to the bare-knuckle-anything-goes of the old days. We'll see how many REALLY want to fight then.
