Seven aging fight legends (and one fan) will be competing in a pay-per-view event called "UR Fight" out in Phoenix, Arizona that will feature fights in four different disciplines -- MMA, boxing, professional wrestling and grappling.
The fights are: Michael Bisping vs. Chael Sonnen (grappling), Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio (wrestling), Ken Shamrock vs. Dan Severn (MMA) and Roy Jones, Jr. vs. a fan (boxing, and yes it's real and spectacular and you can enter yourself to fight RJJ).
It is at once a ridiculous money grab by some old fighters that aren't really relevant anymore and also something that will be really intriguing to a lot of nostalgic fight fans. In case you were skeptical that this was real (or just hopeful it was fake), it appears to be the real deal.
Its true, its damn true! Kurt Angle vs @reymysterio on March 20th https://t.co/fINA0jzIvU #URshow #AngleVsMysterio

So, yeah. This is a real thing that is happening on March 20 and the most legitimate fight of them all will probably be the wrasslin' between Angle and Mysterio. Jones, Jr. is 47 and fighting a fan, Shamrock is 52 and Severn is 57! Fifty-seven!
Whatever, get those checks as long as they'll cut them for you, guys.
