A little man on man action is not appreciated in Arkansas apparently

The carnival folk and fugitives from justice that make up much of the population of Fort Smith, Arkansas left their broken homes and treatment clinics last June and sashayed down to the local Convention Center for a little MMA action courtesy of some outfit called “Blue Collar Brawlin’”. The patrons, expecting the typical bloodsport often seen inside the cage were privy to something much, much hotter…

Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of “hot chicks” and “hardcore fights,” thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as “Straight Dave” and wore camouflage) tearing each other’s clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent’s chest. This man-on-man action triggered Fort Smith fans to throw chairs and beer at the ring, according to one cop present at the city’s Convention Center. (Re: The Smoking Gun)

We can only assume that incidents of domestic violence rose sharply that evening in the greater Fort Smith area.
