Rear Naked “Joke” Anyone?
July 8, 2008
Ok sorry, Boo-urns to that little piece of wordsmithing, but hilarity certainly ensued at an MMA event in Arkansas when Sacha Baron Cohen staged a surprise uber gay MMA fight in the middle of an MMA show in little Rock. What could go wrong?

“The two men would then wrestle, rip away some of their clothes and share a brief kiss reminiscent of one between Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in the film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Producers said “there would be a romantic embrace,” Holland said. “They said it was kind of to essentially make fun, poke fun at wrestling — two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty.”
An elaborate array of mounted and handheld video cameras caught the crowd of 1,600’s reaction as the two men “went right up to the line” of the city’s morality laws, Holland said. The two men stripped down to their underwear, kissed and rubbed on each other, the sergeant said.
The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged. “It set the crowd off lobbing beers,” Holland said. “They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually.”
Really, he could have saved himself and assload of time and money if he just went down the local high school wrestling practice with a tub of mayo.
