Two professional poker players have agreed to an mma fight, Olivier Busquet who will weigh in at 187.5lb is putting $120,000 on the line vs JC Alvarado who will weigh in at 165lb and is putting up $150,000.
http://fightland.vice.com/blog/professional-poker-players-agree-to-mma-fightI know JC, and he's actually not a blue belt, he's still a white belt. He's a smart guy tho and I think he's gonna go hard for a submission. He's training hard for 5 rounds and hoping Olivier isn't gonna put enough into cardio.
He said there's a lot of people in the poker community trying to bet $50-100k on one side or the other too heh, it's almost definitely going to be streamed or at least put on youtube afterwards. Oh and unlike in JC's last scheduled fight if someone pulls out of this one they have to pay a big % of the money anyway, so it's most likely going to happen.
Lol..
