Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion
Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.
The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.
...
The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.
Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they could out-wit and out-muscle [it].
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
Yes, this is satire. A joke! And damn funny!
...
You’re serious!
I thought it was a joke!
“An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the citys coliseum”
I wonder if it was filmed. Gotta check YouTube.
How did this not get its own thread?
Well, that's the last time anybody asks that lion if he would a little something to eat.
I’m going to have to keep a lookout for that youtube video.
Sounds series.
The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back......
And in the process, the Lion scored a perfect 300....
