SPIKE TV Ultimate Fighting Championship: In the Under Card of the UFC Heavyweight Bout, Spike TV is Televising the first Under 7 Year Old UFC Championship Bout between Billy "The Mauler' Owens (61 Lbs) and Johnny " The 7 Year Old Assassin" Death (64 LBS).
Missouri is the first state to Authorize the UFC style competition for children. "This'n is a big step for us Missourians. We is tryin to ketch up with Allybamy in edu....eduma.....edumacation and affletics." According to Governor Dumas (pronounced dumb-####) this is another sport that will keep the children in school, at least the ones that don't participate.
According to the Spike TV- UFC bios, both of these children have been training in MMA for several years even though they were un-aware of it.

We spoke with the parents of both Billy and Johnny and asked how both got involved in MMA.
Lester Owens: "Billy was always punchin thangs. I just figured I could make some money on it. That boy is a terror. We aint allowed to have pets cause a billy"
Ted Death -" Johnny was supended from school for punchin his teacher. He didn't hurt her none but she deserved it. The judge said he needed to get help so I got him in MMA. Now he can punch with the big boys and she don't say nothing to him anymore."
Both parents and the coaches agreed that by training the children in MMA, they are less likely to get into fights on the playground because they understand that MMA is for the ring only. I asked how that point is being driven home.
According to Lester Owens- "I don't know. It just is"
My Grandma told me many years ago "It is better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt"

I was once asked to describe myself and I had to refer to my wifes description of me.
"When you were young and good looking...... .... you were mostly just young!"
How is that for being grounded in reality? From my loving wife.
