Former baseball player and admitted steroid user, Jose Canseco ,battled 7'2", 330-pound Sumo grand champion Hong Man Choi at Yokohama Arena in Japan for his first foray into Mixed Martial Arts on Tuesday.

Canseco, whose brief boxing experience includes a celebrity boxing match with former child star Danny Bonaduce, was sent flying to the ropes by a jab in less than one minute! He then proceeded to scurry around the ring to avoid contact.

Two minutes into the massacre fight, Canseco appeared to twist his right knee. While the "fighter" hobbled around grabbing his injured leg, Choi cornered and collapsed on him!!

Canseco knew this embarrassment was a possibility!

At the press conference on Monday, where Japanese media laughed purely at his introduction, Canseco said, "I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm scared. This guy is huge. I'm a 44-year-old rookie and have had a lot of challenges in my baseball career and hopefully, I can do well tomorrow."

Why would he do this to himself?!

For the $$$$$, of course!!!!!

Canseco's home was foreclosed last July and he was arrested for trying to smuggle an illegal female fertility drug from Mexico in October.

Pathetic!

The former American League MVP earned $35,000 for a celebrity boxing match former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema in which he was knocked out.

His next match?!

Canseco will fight 300 pound Bill Simmons, known as the Wingador, for his ability to eat chicken wings!

To make matters worse, Canseco is accompanied by his girlfriend and publicist, Heidi Northcott, during all of these fights!

Someone is actually supporting him in his public humiliation AND is in a relationship with him!

Gross!

Shape up!
