Officers with the Covington Police Department arrested a nude man looking for a fight Sunday at the Wal-Mart on Industrial Boulevard.

According to the incident report, Jeffrey Pickett said he wanted to be a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and was looking for someone to battle. MMA fighters utilize martial arts techniques from several disciplines during combat.

Pickett said he wanted to practice his tap outs, which is used by a fighter to signal he no longer wishes to continue fighting. The move is usually done once an opponent had been forced into submission.

Pickett, who undressed in parking lot, said he knew he could find someone to fight with if he were nude.

Witnesses in the parking lot said they saw him standing outside his vehicle in the nude and that he jumped in the car when officers arrived. Officers saw him putting his shorts on when they arrived.

Pickett was arrested and transported to the Newton County Jail, where he was charged with indecent exposure.

I think he was looking for a Pankration fight, not MMA

One more reason TUF has had its run. The future UFC guys are easy to find, naked at Wal-mart!

Eliot Marshall: Bader won. Like I said in the episode, I'm not going to make any excuses. It's my job to be able to deal with when somebody's doing that. It's not his job to change up his tactics.

Too bad they didn’t have any surveillance of this. Hilarious!

I heard something about this...

Isn’t Allistair Overeem in negotations to fight this guy or is he all caught up in the UFC and Affliction bidding war still?

Certainly you meant Crocop is going to fight this guy instead of re-matching Overeem.

lol...

You know what… the European media is always mixing things up…. but Cro Cop is out of the running because the naked guy demands to fight an opponent with two testacles and not one.

But if you ask some people on here, Overeem shouldn’t have any testacles left after all the juicing hes been doing… right?
