(Going sleeveless next to Alistair must be a humbling experience, huh Fez?)
First of all, no, we aren’t big LMFAO fans and that’s not how we discovered this little gem. It was brought to our attention by a Danish reader named Jacob Hansen who sent us a link to the video.
Now that we have that out of the way, we want answers how this strange pairing came to be. Did LMFAO put out a call for the scariest dude on the beach in L.A. that day and Alistair just happened to be chillin’ there with Handy Manny? There’s got to be an explanation. Until then, just take in the bizarre clip and wonder what they told “The Demolition Man” to act like for the shoot. Points for noticing Wilmer’s finger-snapping nod to MJ’s “Beat It” vid at the end.
If you can stomach listening to the song that accompanies this thing, check out the video after the jump.

You know, we were really hesitant to post this at first. Here we have video of a fighter that has clearly spent about the same amount of time in training as the “Say Goodnight” guys, fighting in public, in front of a paying crowd, no less, and she’s being recorded. She’s clearly out of her depth, and dangerously overmatched. It is, quite frankly, a spectacle, and it’s probably bad for the sport, right?
That’s when we realized that we woke up cranky and crabby and possibly some other c-words. (Plus, it’s already shown up in every combat sports forum on the interwebs.)
While yes, the fighter is overmatched and could be hurt as a result, safety and professionalism win the day, as her opponent and the referee do a good job of ending the fight as soon as it becomes apparent that Mrs Butterbean has no defensive skills. (Or offensive skills. Really, not much in the way of skills on this lady at all.)
With those concerns assuaged, what we’re left with is some very amusing video of a fighter who reacts to an MMA fight like she’s being attacked by a hive of Tropical Rapist Bees intent on removing her clothing and stinging her repeatedly on the face and gut. Her striking is so bad it would still be ineffective if she had cybernetic hands dipped in glue and glass. And then set on fire.
CagePotato has been unable to confirm that the unnamed fighter thanked her trainer, Greg Stott, after the official announcement of her loss. Actually, we’ve been unable to find any info about this fight at all, and Krava Maga Desoto hasn’t shared any info with us. Perhaps it’s better for all involved if she just remains anonymous.

On the list of “9 Questions You Should Never Ask in an MMA Interview”, it comes in at number one. At first it seems like a win-win situation to spar with a professional fighter. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to test your skill against an idol; you get some entertaining footage; and, most importantly, no one expects you to actually win so there should be no pressure. Unfortunately, no one expects you to perform a Lesnaresque pirouette after every half-hearted love tap, either.
All joking aside, hats off to this dude for gloving up, taking some abuse, and filming it all in higher quality than 90% of the professional organizations out there. You’ve got to admire someone foolhardy enough to spend five minutes locked in a cage with Martin Kampmann, even if he isn’t really trying…at all. This reporter may be getting knocked down and tossed around, but he’s got a smile on his face right up until the final seconds of the match when he gets choked unconscious. What a story he’ll have a story to tell his mustachioed grand children one day.

Guy-on-the-left clearly comes from the Wanderlei Silva school of intimidation. But seriously, go to a clinic and get yourself tested, buddy. Any Brazilians in the house want to give us a rough translation of “Cagão”?
