    4 years old story but oh well(42 midgits vs lion)

    BBC NEWS | World | Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight


    Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight


    Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion

    Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

    The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

    Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

    This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted.

    An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum.

    The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

    The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

    Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”

    Unfortunately, he was wrong.


    Edit: yes I spelled midgets wrong, sue me

    Behemoth Mutilates 42 Tarutaru in Windurst Ring-Fight


    Spectators cheered as entire Windurst Tarutaru Fighting League squared off against Behemoth

    Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the section of Windurst Walls.

    The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yangaru Sihamoniaru, President of the WTFL, claiming that one behemoth could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

    Sihamoniaru takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the WTFL that stated his tarus will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

    This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a Behemoth; a challenge that Sihamoniaru readily accepted.

    A Qufim Behemoth (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Windurst Walls especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum.

    The Windurst Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

    The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

    Sihamoniaru was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the Behemoth 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”

    Unfortunately, he was wrong.

    You'd be lion if you said the midgets didn't come up short on the day.

    I'd say the Midgits came up short.

    You could almost say the midgets set their sights a bit high?
