‘Is this even legal?’ – MMA fighter claims he’ll take on a chimp in pay-per-view fight
MMA has always been known for its mix of the unexpected and the unusual. Just last month, Tyson Fury’s opponent found himself overwhelmed in a chaotic one-against-six matchup.
MMA fighter Cole Johnson is reportedly planning a pay-per-view event that pits him against a chimpanzee in the ring. The controversial proposal, which has sparked outrage online, is scheduled for September 11th, though the location remains undisclosed. Johnson, who fights under the moniker Wavy MMA, claims he was initially approached by someone offering $500,000 to accept the challenge, though he eventually backed out after being deceived.
However, he later received an even larger sum of undisclosed money from another party, prompting him to reconsider the fight. Animal rights advocates have condemned the proposed match, questioning its legality and ethical implications.
