Jose Canseco brought a baseball bit to the ring for his Mixed Martial Arts debut with Hong Man Choi.
The only problem?
He wasn’t able to use it.
Choi knocked the former Bash Boy out in 1 minute, 17 seconds.
“That’s a big man,” Canseco said of the 7-foot-2, 330-pound Choi. “I ran into one of his left jabs and that almost knocked me out. You have no idea how scary it was facing a man that big.”
Canseco blamed the loss in part on his injured right knee.
“I hurt my knee back home real bad but I didn’t want to disappoint the fans,” Canseco said. “I knew that at some point during the fight my knee was going to give out, and once I was down I knew I wasn’t going to get up. He is just too heavy to move.
“I have no idea if I will do this again. I’ve gotta get my knee better before I commit to anything like this.”
