Arguably best known best for being repeatedly punched in the jaji by Keith Hackney in UFC IV, Joe Son was sentenced last month to 17 years in prison for his role in the torture and gang rape of a woman in 1990. (No, not related to Glenn Beck in any sense.)
Son is now suspected of killing his cellmate, a 50 year old sex offender who was serving a two-year sentence for failing to register. Prison officials have stated he is a likely suspect, and although they have not completed the investigation, they have not named any other suspects in the case.
For those in our audience who were born after UFC IV, and recently hit puberty under a rock, here’s video of the fight that made Son’s mark on UFC history:
Given Son’s criminal acts, we can only characterize the outcome of his UFC fight, in hindsight, as “Kenpo Karma”. At the very least it was a high point for both Kenpo, and groin protector sales.
I remember watching that fight back in the day, classic. So if he raped a woman in 1990 why was he just now sentenced? And how did he fight in the UFC that was a few years after?

DNA sample taken in 2008 for an unrelated crime matched the DNA held for the 1990 crime.
[QUOTE=battlefields;2616477]All I can say is this, Phrost, with lines like this, you should be writing on a comedy website.[/QUOTE]But he already does?
“You guys are going to see the spirit of the lord Jesus Christ tonight”
It’s funny he said that, cos when I read about his new troubles, I thought “Jesus Christ, what next?”
Going over that first video, I have to say, the dude was trying REALLY hard to come off as a man of faith and as a badass… at which I’d think he uber-failed.
If he really wanted to nail the religious badass thing home, he should have been nailed to that giant cross, had himself brought into the ring, torn free, and attacked the audience.

"It took Sakata five months to master Oddjob’s trick of spinning his bowler hat. “It’s not like throwing,” he told the Star-Bulletin in December 1965: “It’s the whip, the spin, the slicing blade. Like a boomerang that doesn’t come back. I worked with a plaster statue of a girl and aimed for the neck. I got so I could topple the head off every time. It made me very conscious of necks. Every time I’d meet a pretty girl, I’d say, ‘My, you have an attractive neck.’ I really felt terrible about that lovely girl in the film. ‘Can’t I kill an ugly one?’ I asked the producer. ‘Not Oddjob,’ he said.”
