UFC president Dana White told TMZ that if “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre accepts Charlie Sheen’s proposal to fight, he’d love to have them be the co-main event this Saturday at “UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch.”
White tells TMZ, “B.J. Penn is fighting Jon Fitch on Saturday … [Charlie and Chuck] are more than welcome to be the co-main event.”
In fact, Dana’s even made a prediction — saying, “I have Charlie Sheen by brutal knockout.”
How can you bet against a guy with “fire-breathing fists?”
Now, before everyone starts condemning White for saying this, think about it: He just got the names of his two main events fighters on a major site in relation to a major pop culture topic the day before a pay-per-view which isn’t expected to do well because frankly, who really even knows there’s a pay-per-view this weekend? This show has received almost no mainstream attention and I don’t think I’ve seen a commercial for it outside of watching the Countdown show last night. There has been next to no buzz and White found a way to shoehorn his fighters into a mainstream story. Well done.
And hey, a fight between the 45-year old Sheen and the 58-year old Lorre would just be a way to start up the UFC Masters Division, right?
