MFC 26 Post-Fight: Antonio McKee Calls Out BJ Penn and Sean Sherk

Would he get main card status right away? Sponsors only care if people can see what they paid for.

People look at him as a more boring fighter than say a Fitch because they expect him to be athletic and explosive. They champion Fitch and GSP as “martial artists” and “experts at the sport” but for him, he’s just boring. He thinks he does what it takes to win and he’s unfairly labeled as boring. He’s not called anyone a racist, just that his situation might have racial aspects to it. He says that he was a really good wrestler, he beat John Smith for goodness sakes, and he never got a look. He beat a bunch of opponents and still never got a look. Not the WEC, not Strikeforce, not UFC.

Two guys who have never beaten top 25 competition is not a PPV worthy fight. Clay Guida vs. Kurt Pellegrino would be a significantly more compelling fight. You stick Henderson vs. McKee on any PPV and give it main or co-main status, I will not buy it. And I buy everything.

If he sucks, cut him.

Fuck Brett Farve. That’s all I got to say about that.

There’s a nasty combination of all the factors going against McKee. He’s never fought anybody top 25. He’s on the wrong side of 30 (by a wide margin). And he’s a HUGE PR liability. Statements from his hype before this fight.

I’m just the baddest nigger on the planet, you know? For those black folks that I offend when I use the word nigger, let me explain this right now to you. Nigger is not a bad word to me. Where I come from, nigger is a term of endearment and loyalty and brotherhood … I want to let you know now, this fight here is about putting on a show. So, if you see me out there wearing my monkey suit doing my monkey dance, don’t be tripping, alright?

I’m really trying to hurt this dude. I haven’t felt like this in a long time. It’s been like, maybe 22 years ago when I was in the hood and we were shooting dice. I hit my point and this dude didn’t want to give me my money, so I had to resort back to niggerism. This fight here has brought me back to niggerism.

That’s not even counting the fact that the UFC would lowball the hell out of him in negotiations, while minor leagues can pay him like a headliner. I don’t think it makes sense for anybody.

But it’s not like he changed up his strategy. Takedown and selective GnP. He just happened to land a good elbow. You know what I mean. It’s not like he stood up with the guy for round or two or did anything different on the feet that he normally doesn’t do.

He normally throws strikes, just like he threw them in that fight. Have you seen his last fights? He submiitted his last opponent with a kimura. His opponents are always busted up from shots. He throws careful shots from the top, usually in guard.

you don’t like to add things to discussion do you?

which during colonial times wasn’t really associated to blacks, but became with time. That term is very rarely used here, blacks, whites, natives, asians, you’re not going to be hearing this term unless it’s coming from a racist. Meanwhile, I think, from what you guys have described here from the term nigga, negão would most likely be the equivalent to that, which literally means ‘big black guy’ and is not considered offensive but rather a caring term. everyone is basically allowed to say that, whites included.

You mean having names like K-Kwik, Booker T, Bubba Ray, D Lo Brown, Farooq, Ahmed etc. Or do you mean how Rey Mysterio had to keep it real for La Raza. Or when the undertaker became a white thrash biker.

They might as well come out and say “my character is a flashy black man. I lack the ability or character to be a champion without a white man giving me the title.”

i heard he was uncomfortable with the way they promote blacks and spoke up about it.

That’s not an act.

Now if he turned it up and played a character, I could understand, but he’s not acting. When asked about it, he’ll talk about it, but other than that, he’s llike “Whatever”.

GZA made one of the greatest albums in hip hop history. But I like everybody else you’re talking about, so I’m going to just say this is a minor disagreement.
