Wishing death on someone is never a good thing when you get paid to place that person under the same conditions that resemble death. That's like a chef holding up a baby and saying the words 'I just want to eat you up'. Technically, the chef has all the available skills to cook the baby up in a nice marinade and serve it in reasonable portions. Therefore, Cowboy Cerrone hoping that Jame Varner will be the first death in MMA on TapouT radio last night is not necessarily a positive thing. Cowboy Cerrone pulled a Frank Mir.

"I hope my emotions have everything to do with this fight. I hope I'm [expletive] fired up and all I want to do is go out there and kill him and that's what's going to get me going in the first round. I want to come in that first round and rip his face off...I hope my emotions drive me, I fight better under emotions. Ask Leonard [Garcia], when I'm hot and some new guy comes in the gym and wants to throw down, that's when I do my best. So I hope my emotions take over and I just kill this dude. I hope this is the first death in MMA."

Since the statement, Cerrone has already reprimanded himself by publicly apologizing to Jamie Varner regarding his comments on last night's broadcast. Cowboy Cerrone did not, however, apologize for hating every hair follicle, white blood cell and appendage of Jamie Varner. [Source]

Not good. But Donald was just trying to fully express his hatred for Varner. He does kinda suck. Varner is like big Tim, he can't get out of his own way. He says shit and you are just like wtf? He's so cocky. Cerrone f'd up though.

Man, everyone says that now. "Woo, this is going to be the first death in MMA." It was funny the first or second time I heard it but now it's just kinda lame.

Unfortunately we won't stop hearing it until someone actually dies in the ring/cage.

This highlights an issue in the heated debate between fighting as a sport or just a carnival and spectacle.

The level many (MANY!)fighters stoop to in order to tactlessly promote a fight is beyond pathetic and ridiculous. Much of what they say is meaningless bullshit that is not relative to the fight and has absolutely no merit.
