Din Thomas Wants First Shot At Mayorga

by JA Yount on Dec 3, 2009 8:09 PM EST

The list of fighters lining up to welcome former pro boxer Ricardo Mayorga is growing longer and more distinguished by the day. Today, nine-time UFC fighter Din ‘Dinyero’ Thomas had some very strong words for the recent Shine Fights signee. Thomas did not hold back when sending his message directly to Mayorga, his managers, and Shine Fights matchmakers.

”Ricardo Mayorga just signed to fight in Shine. I think he is afraid of me. If he does accept the fight I will put him into retirement and send him back to his fruit stand in Nicaragua. He will be wearing a straw hat, smoking cigarettes, and selling bananas once and for all. This is MMA and I will beat him standing or on the ground. I will let him pick how he wants to lose his first MMA fight.”

As a Nicaraguan I find Din’s words insulting.

I think that’s what he was going for.

Just trying to get the fight, IMO.

Where the hell has Din Thomas been? I keep waiting for the WEC to get him, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

I keep saying the same thing. Why would you not pick him up?

Is that the sound of your ears ringing from all the explosions and gunfire?

Mayorga- A ridiculous brawler with a good chin. Given the right opponent (one who would keep the fight standing), Mayorga could be a very entertaining cage fighter. Definitely not a good one though.

Ricky Hatton came closer to beating Manny Pacquiao than Marquez did to beating Floyd.
