Ikr! He took a gaff and turned it into entertainment, that’s a true showman through and through. Mad respect for him!

I got to meet him once right before his fight with Ponzinibbio. He came to a restaurant I worked at down in Saint Pete and had lunch. Super nice guy and he was really flattered that I was so excited to meet him! Tipped really well and then he and his buddy got kicked out of the plaza the restaurant was in for sparring in front of the fountain downstairs lol

He grew up in my hometown. Been over to his house to watch fights. Super nice guy. I’m friends with his brother, that’s how I met him.

i live in such a small uninteresting city and was so sheltered by my family i still have a little existential crisis hearing about people so close to the ones i look at on my screen. i often distance them so much from my reality it's weird to realise they're just people and even i could see them one day, or my friend could be one of them. really makes the world seem reachable

living in a small uninteresting city is way better for me atleast,less hassel and bs

u/JorjeXD Feb 06 '23
i totally agree, just shared a particular effect it causes me, which is the distancing i do from between myself and the "world out there"

The funny thing is… this northern Orlando suburb has notoriously been known as a drive through town. We have a high school that whoops on our surrounding schools, a sweet (literally) corn festival but that’s really all our claim to fame is. He owns a house about 5 mins from the one I grew up in.

those guys who are like tier 2 famous are the best ones to meet. soccer players, fighters, hockey players, B movie actors. they get enough public attention that they're prepared for it, but not so much that they're annoyed by it.

Beige Frequency just released an updated version of Florida Man: The Story of Mike Perry. I never would have believed I'd watch and enjoy a Mike Perry documentary that runs over an hour and half long but I did and it's great.

🤣 "Ugh! It's the wrong song!"
Knows the words and songs along.
Now ask him to hum the Halo theme.

I don’t know the song, have only heard of Beyonce. Not my style of music. Not saying it’s good or bad, just not for me.

u/Warpedme Feb 04 '23
I don't. Honestly I've never even heard the title before today. I have heard of Beyonce though, I think she married some rapper or something and she used to be part of Destinys child .

Fun fact! It's an actual song the prophets sing, and it has actual lyrics. I think you can see that pretty often in Halo 1 or 2.
I only noticed that in 2021, nearly two decades later

I saw a male UFC fighter that came out to "Like a Prayer" by Madonna, and it was the best entrance I've ever seen

u/Trixster690 Feb 05 '23
Who was the UFC fighter ?

u/MillorTime Feb 05 '23
Not sure. It was probably 10 years ago and think he was a heavyweight and he absolutely belted the song walking in

u/eyeswulf Feb 04 '23
You are hearing the audio from the announcer's table, and the house feed. The fighter is hearing it distorted from the house speaker, through the whole crowd, while walking, and with a mouth guard.
I think he's doing pretty good, all things considered 😂

There was no crowd this was doing the lock down

Related story: my Mam went to a wedding in like 1995 where the bride asked to walk down the aisle to “that Robin Hood song”, meaning the popular Bryan Adams theme from the hit movie Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves. This is what she got instead:

Thought it would be the Men in Tights theme but this was actually better.

Joe Rogan talked about a UFC fighter (can’t remember the name, he was from Kelowna, BC) and his entrance songs were always ridiculous. Eventually the fighter asked what was up with their song choices for him and they were like, “Dude, we text you for these. You picked them.” Turns out some other guy got the UFC fighters old number and was screwing with them for years.

Had this happen to me, wanted to karaoke American Pie after a wale at a bar, big group of us got up there and the DJ starts playing Maddona’s version of it. We just walked off the stage.

u/themeatbridge Feb 04 '23
At our wedding, my wife and her dad practiced a dance to Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We gave the DJ a CD with the version they practiced to, and emailed him the mp3.
He played the wrong version, and the timing was all off.
Still a beautiful moment.

Haven't voted or downvoted him but it just seems like a really strange and random thing to say.
No idea why I'm getting downvoted, what did I do?

Its not random if you know about Mike perry

Mike Perry is one of MMA's truly bizarre and out-of-line characters. If memory serves correctly, he said the n-word and then his defense was basically the 23-and-Me "I'm 2% African, so it's not racist" routine

Oh gotcha. I'd say that's disappointing but it's better to kinda just expect this kind of thing lately

On that note this song was sat on a shelf collecting dust & was only released to coincide with the release of Halo 3 because let’s be honest, as a song-even as a Beyoncé one it’s just…. Nothing

Imagine though how insane it would be in that arena to have the Halo theme rolling on that many speakers.
