CagePotato Roundtable #11: If You Could Fight Any MMA Fighter in the World, Who Would It Be?

(I got winner.) Today on the CagePotato Roundtable, we're taking a trip through the magical world of make-believe! Which MMA fighter would you scrap with if reality was no object? Would it be a hated heel? A personal idol? An undersized Japanese lady who you might actually have a puncher's chance against? Joining us this week is Vince Mancini, the esteemed editor of FilmDrunk.com and occasional CP commenter. Follow his shit @FilmDrunk, and if you have a topic idea for a future Roundtable column, please send it to tips@cagepotato.com. Chris Colemon Saying that I could fight any MMA fighter implies that I also have the option not to do so, and I would exercise that option. You see, I'm what scientists call “a pussy.” I don't like my chances in a scrap against anyone, trained or not. In that way I'm kind of like the anti-Krazy Horse: I'll back down from men, women, children, retarded people... But if I had to throw down with an MMA fighter of my choosing, it's going to be Bob Sapp, all day. The reasons are plentiful. As stated earlier, any trained fighter is going to wreck me, badly, so I'm certainly not going to pick someone smaller than me or a female — why give my detractors [friends] more to mock? No, I'm going to pick an intimidating juggernaut, and few fit that bill better than Bob Sapp. If I lose the fight — which is pretty much the only possibility — non-MMA fans [again, my friends] will look at pictures of him, then back at my unimposing frame, and accept the loss as a forgone conclusion while giving me eternal props for climbing into the cage with such a monstrosity. Actual MMA fans tuning into the fight will already be expecting to see someone turtle-up and play dead before the first punch connects, so they won't be disappointed if I take a page out of “The Beast's” own playbook and hit the canvas prematurely. All of Sapp's recent battles have been farces, so at least no one will be expecting a real fight; I'd hate to disappoint the crowd.
