MMA Mania‘s Facebook post early today sounded off a commotion in the discussion board. It shared information on the one-of-a-kind boxing championship, where participants could smoke weed. Purportedly, Mike Tyson promoted the August 27 Koh Samui Island competition in Thailand. Fans didn’t take much time to run amok with their wild thoughts and jabs.

The message read, “The only promotion in the world where a fighter can have their win overturned for testing negative.” From the nature of the comments the post drew, it appears that most of the fans found the details amusing.

Smoke and Swings: The internet is abuzz over a championship

According to the following user, it’s the aptest platform for Nate and Nick Diaz to win hands-down. The brothers would love this to no end: “Nick and Nate Diaz would kill this.”

This fan, too, echoed a similar line. He said the Diaz brothers would rule the tournaments like kings: “The Diaz brothers [are] about to run this.” Then, the third fan with similar thoughts took the discussion forward, stating that all the titles would end with the Diaz brothers, “Diaz Bros. champs of every division!”

The remaining reactions took different routes. For instance, the following user decided to take a dig at Errol Spence Jr. So he mentioned finally coming across an avenue where ‘The Truth,’ who recently lost the Welterweight titles to Terence Crawford, could for once become an undisputed champion. The user said, “Finally found something Errol Spence can become undisputed in.”

With much foresight, this fan believes the best person to take on the role of ring announcer would be rapper Snoop Dogg: “Snoop Dogg is the best ring announcer here.”

The following user, however, seems worried about the match outcomes. According to him, this tournament risks all the bouts running into a dispute because the judges could barely focus on their responsibilities. The user said, “And all the fights end in controversy because none of the judges were paying attention: “How did I score the what? That’s funny…”

A corresponding article from MMA Mania mentioned that the ‘Weed Boxing Championship’ is the only place where a boxer’s victory could be declared null and void if he ‘tested negative.’ It further shared that the site where the tournament occurred had reportedly ‘decriminalized marijuana.’

Likewise, competitors smoked before each fight, which had three rounds of three minutes each. Given Mike Tyson’s alleged involvement, the event supposedly promoted products from his ‘Tyson 2.0’ range, per the article.
