An Open Challenge to Fightlinker

Fightlinker, one of my favorite reads in the whole wide blogosphere, recently had this to say in a post about the possibility of Mike Swick vs. Thiago Alves:
So there you go … Swick vs Alves if BJ wins. I’d speculate, but that’s a pretty big ‘if’. I mean … yes, there’s a chance BJ will win, but I haven’t been able to find any other blogger out there with the balls to bet on BJ.
In the spirit of Deadspin's "Mayor's Bet", I am coming out and publicly challenging the author of the post (which appears to be Ryan judging by the comments thread) to some sort of equivalent wager. I'm not getting tattooed (because I'm broke and I think they are too) or taking cookie sheets to the face (because I'm not Mick Foley), but terms are negotiable.
The ball's in your court now, Fightlinker.

Great
I only read bloodyelbow and fightlinker. This is awesome.
Check out cagepotato
Anyways, good idea guys. The loser should have to eat 6 oz. of nutmeg.

So wait
Mike – you’re betting on BJ Penn to win? And if you lose you’re going to do what? Eat 6oz of nutmeg?
Lol – Sorry dude.. i’m with GSP on this one.
He’s talking about the bet and suggesting that Fightlinker will probably win.

He's going to drink a bottle of bleach if he loses
and if FightLinker loses he will post his next 10 blogs high on Jimson weed.
Gimme 1 Round!
Loser should sack himself in the groin and then post it on youtube
and then pretended that he liked it and he always does that kind of stuff and posts it.
I've always been partial to the old "Banana Peel" slip video. Old school physical comedy ftw.
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
FightLinker won’t bet money. Now he will bet you one of his T-shirts, maybe two if he’s feeling really lucky.

Good for you Mike. BJ is still my favorite fighter, despite the rash of butt-hurtness that’s broken out all over the mma blogosphere. I like a lot of fightlinker’s articles. Too bad their radio show is isn’t any good. I wish there were more MMA radio shows that were capable of offering actual analysis.
Never forget
We’ve got a tradition here of beating FL in these bets. Luke beat him. I beat him.
There’s a lot of tradition riding on the line here Mike.
Wait the link with Luke makes it sound like the Fightlinker guys should have won. What happened with that bet?
by Rundownloser on Jan 22, 2009 10:45 PM EST up reply actions
my bad
Here’s the one Luke won. He turned down the Diego vs Fitch bet. Wisely.

Cool. Man, hopefully for Fagan the Fightlinker guys don’t pull a Rampage a la Wand-Jackson III.

I still contend that nobody won if that was your prize.

+1 to Fagan and BJ
I’m with Fagan: BJ will win. Though I’m not putting fruits on my junk.
In honor of BJ’s infamous glove lick, I suggest loser has to drink a whole bottle of ketchup.

ding ding ding...
I think we have a winner
I think they should have to taste the other fella’s pee pee pee.

how about as filtered through the lovely Edith Larente.

Wouldn’t be the first time she’s done something like that. But I’m not sure these guys can afford it – has anybody seen an updated price list since her old escort site?

I'll spot you the cash
to get an exact replica to down to wrinkles and veins of BJ’s nuts on your forehead. Now you can’t use the money excuse
Gimme 1 Round!
Loser is filmed pissing his own pants.
Must be uploaded to youtube (or similar site if youtube pulls it). Only thing it costs is dignity and a few quarters for laundry. Simple, cheap, and embarrassing.

Loser has to wear a Tapout/ Affliction T-shirt and go around trying to pick up chicks.
Did you know we are in high demand, Laura?

Chicks actually fall for that crap
So thats not much of a risk. lol

I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!
Let’s poll the readers as to what they think are the best terms. Here’s my proposition: loser has to eat half a can of wet generic brand dog food
I love to hate
I’m a little classier than the Fightlinker boys.
With the Hawaii vs. Canada things, I suggest if B.J. loses I must down an entire bottle of maple syrup and if GSP wins, Fightlinker must eat a can of Spam. Hopefully he can find this one:
Also, BJPenn.com has a B.J. keychain for 4.99. If anyone can find similar GSP merchandise at a reasonable price, throw that in too.
Spam is actually tastey if eaten in moderation and syrup isn’t exactly nasty. Those are not punishment. Are you afraid of habenero?
An entire can, for someone who does not regularly eat it, is not “in moderation.” And an entire bottle of syrup is nasty regardless of the taste.
I’m down with watching you have to drink an entire goog sized bottle of maple syrup a la super troopers although surely there’s something more hawaiian than Hawaiian Spam.
I love to hate
by fightlinker on Jan 23, 2009 11:34 AM EST up reply actions
Hawaii is the second largest SPAM eating population in the world…
Though Poi could produce some fun jokes
How about this
You lose, you have to down a proper 12 ounce bottle of maple syrup if GSP wins. If BJ Penn wins, I have to eat some disgusting part of a pig like it’s feet or snout or tongue
I love to hate
by fightlinker on Jan 23, 2009 12:44 PM EST up reply actions
Wimp!
Down here in Louisiana, the only part of the pig not eaten is the “oink”. We could never go on Fear Factor because most Cajuns will eat anything, especially if cooked with beer.

Well, I’m down for everything. Mike can go from pepper spray to maple syrup and I’m down with everything there and in between :-)
I love to hate
My grandfather loved eating the brains of the pig – not sure how he prepared it, but it wouldn’t be hard to find out.
I still say loser pisses his pants in public, though.

We all have to remember that it is to punish both the loser AND everyone with vision, a la Fightlinker v. Kid Nate on the Huerta/Guida bet. Eating something gross doesn’t have the same affect. Maybe the loser takes a video of themselves watching 2 girls 1 cup
Tied to a chair...
Pepper spray on the junk…. put it up on YouTube for all to see… tastefully done of course.
