That's the point- he is fighting retreads with names. What's next Butterbean?


Exactly. I hate all these Kimbo nuthuggers. The guy will get owned by a grappler or better striker.

On Butterbean, here's a quick review of his last fight:
Butterbean fought at the LC Walker Arena in Muskegon, MI tonight and I had the pleasure of being five rows up in one of the good sections. Before I get into the meat of this, I'll give you some background story.

Butterbean fought against one of our local talent, Matt Blaine, who I believe was 3-0. I saw a couple of his fights from his amateur days and he showed a good deal of talent.

I happened to be sitting by a friend of one of Matt's trainers and we were discussing some of the finer points of MMA. The trainer came up and chatted with us for a while and dropped this bombshell on us...Butterbean apparently demanded that if the fight went to the ground, that it be stood up within ten seconds or he would NOT go through with the fight. This was AFTER he showed up and already got paid half up front. A very disrespectful "diva" act if I ever saw one.

So then our main event happened. Matt was kicking the utter crap out of Butterbean, at one point seriously rocking him with a hard punch. Butterbean basically threw a hissy fit when the ref separated them, claiming that Matt kicked him in the groin twice. I saw for myself that those kicks were to the stomach and nowhere near the groin. At the absolute lowest he got hit at the waist, if even that. So the fight restarted and Matt continued to go to work on him, working him over with knees and all of a sudden the ref stepped in. We went crazy thinking the ref stepped in to save Butterbean. We were wrong. He was "hit with a low blow"...again utter BS. The match was ruled a double disqualification and our local guy got completely and utterly screwed over. He landed nothing but clean shots on Butterbean, who got any and every celebrity call.

The booing was so loud that I didn't hear the signal for the end of the round. Butterbean actually quit in his corner between the first and second rounds and the officials inexplicably ruled it a double DQ. A spineless move on the officials' part which led to a HUGE "Butterbean Sucks" chant.
