RZA and Tarantino Joint Kung Fu Movie Project Features Cung Le

The shared obsession of academy award winning director Quentin Tarantino and Wu Tang Clan member RZA has materialized into an upcoming film featuring UFC middleweight Cung Le and other insanity.

According to the recently released official trailer above, The Man with Iron Fists apparently casts academy award winner Russel Crowe as a cowboy in feudal China, professional wrestler Dave Batista as Colossus, as Lucy Liu as Han from Enter the Dragon. While there is currently little information available on Cung Le’s part in the story, IMDB lists him as playing a character called Bronze Lyon. Since long-time action movie staple Byron Mann is playing the character Silver Lion, it can be safely deduced that this movie will be an orgy of violence and 1970′s call backs that makes absolutely no sense.

At a budget estimated near 20 million dollars, The Man with Iron Fists is the third biggest film that Le has appeared in, behind Pandorum and Tekken*.

Mike Tyson: MMA Fighters Need to Get Paid More

Mike Tyson went from the baddest man on the planet to the most interesting man in the world.

At least one of them.

There are seemingly no bad interviews with the former heavyweight champion.

On this one with Ariel Helwani of the MMA Hour, Tyson pushes for MMA fighters to make more money.

And when that happens to then watch out for the predators.

"Nothing personal to nobody, they gotta be (expletive) millionaires," Tyson says. "They gotta get the (expletive) money they deserve. How is (MMA) going to be bigger than boxing if they don't have cash? These guys need to be multi-multimillionaires. They need to have their big (expletive) mansions, their big cars and if not, they should be able to take care of their family. They should be able to live without fighting no more."

The downside to the money are the leeches says Tyson. A subject he discusses in the interview with UFC president Dana White.

"They ain't get the scumbags yet," Tyson said. "Let their purses be in the paper like my purses were in the paper and Floyd(Mayweather)'s. Wait until the scumbags get in that sport."

Don King Congratulates Mexican President-Elect Enrique Pena Nieto The People’s Choice. The People’s Champion. And Don King’s Champion

American-Mexican promoter Don King sent congratulations today to Enrique Pena Nieto for winning Sunday’s election to become the new president of Mexico.

King met the 45-year-old president-elect last June while in Mexico and was greatly impressed.

“Pena Nieto is the people’s choice and the people’s champion in Mexico, and he has my heartfelt congratulations,” King said.

“In the words of Father Miguel Hidalgo, ‘Mexicanos, Viva Mexico!’ In the spirit of Hidalgo, Pancho Villa, Emiliano Zapata and Benito Juarez comes Enrique Pena Nieto, a tried and true representative of the Mexican people, a leader who loves and cares about the people he represents.

“When he takes office, I know there will be a rebirth of boxing in Mexico. Mexicans are fighters inside the ring and outside the ring, and I look for a bigger, better and brighter future for all Mexicans. Viva Enrique Pena Nieto! Viva Mexico!”

Pena Nieto will succeed Felipe Calderon as the 19^th Mexican president since the Mexican Revolution concluded in 1920. He had served as governor of the State of Mexico from 2005 through 2011.

Holyfield Happy To See Changes In Old Rival Tyson, By Scoop Malinowski

15 years ago the two gladiators were arch rivals, slugging it out in the infamous “Bite Fight” in Las Vegas in late June 1997. Now Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are on far friendlier terms.

Holyfield attended Tyson’s acclaimed one-man show in Las Vegas in April and recently shared complimentary words about Tyson to sports columnist George Willis in the June 30 edition of The New York Post. “It’s a great thing when people can make fun of themselves,” said Holyfield of Tyson. “That means they’re over it. If you’ve had issues in your life and (you are) trying to hide them, it scares you because you don’t want anybody to know and you act like you haven’t made mistakes.”

Holyfield told Willis that he sees Tyson, once world-renowned as “the baddest man on the planet”, as having evolved to become an inspiration for all people to improve their example. “I tell people all the time, Mike probably can change more people than anybody because people will look at Mike and say, ‘If Mike can change, I can change.’ Now he’s letting it all go.”

Interestingly, Holyfield suggested the pressures and stresses of the ring may have played a hand in deforming Tyson into the bad guy role he once seemed happy to portray. “Everybody was always telling (Mike), all you need is to be tough. Then everybody liked him for how tough he was but nobody liked him for the person he was. All the sudden he was trying to be ‘Iron Mike’ the whole time instead of being ‘Iron Mike’ when he was in the ring and a different person when you’re out of the ring. If you don’t know how to switch those things, you’re going to burn out.”

Tyson’s long-time close friend Mario Costa attended all six of Tyson’s stage performances in Las Vegas and observed Holyfield’s positive reaction in the audience from a few seats away. Costa told me, “Holyfield really enjoyed seeing Mike on the stage, he was smiling and laughing throughout the show. The expression on his face showed that he seemed really happy to see Mike having success and doing something well that is different than boxing. He looked really happy for Mike.”

Tyson’s one man show will open on Broadway at the Longacre Theater in New York City on July 31 and run through August. Originally scheduled for six shows, due to enormous success, an additional six dates have been added. “Undisputed Truth”.
