View Full Version : A Mongo Story

Myself and my team mates were attending an MMA event in Edinburgh a bunch of years ago. It may even have been Dean Reillys semi pro debut. There was a selection of roasters as this was the dark days of mma but one in particular stood out.

He had a custom hairstyle, a pair of personalised Muay Thai shorts and a bad attitude. During our warm ups we had to listen to him telling everyone how he was gonna smash his hapless opponent, that he was the best fighter in the show and occasionally hitting some focus pads and shadowboxing like there was something not right with him.
,
Our protagonist was egged on by 4 generations of his family coming in, regularly getting in the way to tell him how hard he was, which was very apparently. This guy was also borderline obese just to get the mental pictures right.

So after an elaborate techno entrance and an intense staredown the fight was about to begin. Unfortunatley for our plucky scamp he was fighting someone with a pulse and even more unfortunate one of Karl Tanswells guys.

The fight itself went pretty much as expected massive arsewinder punch to giving up the takedown to squeezing the head to back control and RNC finish. All pretty much according to the law of the universe.

But despite being beaten in a fight our hero tries to start a fight with the guy who just beat him in a fight. "yer a poof, a POOF, ya choked me from behind" he exclaimed much to the bemusement of his opponent. It was then that James Disco Doolan started his now famous "mongo" chant.

The mongo eventually leaves the cage 5 minutes after the winner to the rapturous applause of his inbred fan base.

Back in the warm up area we are again overwelmed by the mongo family. Apparently he is "the strongest guy here" he isnt hes a big fat guy, "just needs to learn some of those holds and hed be unstoppable" he wouldnt he was all round gash, he "was the best striker here and that big guy was afraid to stand with him" BAWHAHAHAAHAHA.

At this point im making seal noises from laughing so much and his family have started to notice. This is the same point that one of the guys breaks the aura of awesomeness surrounding captain mongo and says "listen you you have been training for 3 months, your shit, your out of condition, your an arsehole and you dont know anything about fighting, sertiously what were you doing look at your belly. Its fat"

Best day of my life.

Firstly the "Learn some holds son and you will unstoppable" is still literally the most memorable quote I have from MMA shows, was literally hysterical. infact so hyesterical that on the few occasions I bump into Doug we reminisce and piss ourselves laughing. Secondly, who gave him a reality check?

Your also missing out the part where he climbs back into the cage later (complete with pint) to "apologise" for his actions, but doesnt really

Dude went back into the cage wearing his shit thai shorts with his fat belly out and a pint in hand to apologise for being a douche.

did it not transpire that this spacker hadn't even sparred Thai and had blatantly lied to the promoter to get matched, seem to remember that coming out around the time

I alo liked his enraged back and forth angry walking prior to the glove touch. Also the fact that the guy who beat him in the 30 seconds or so was quite happy to fight him again straight away. The pint was my favourite part.

I love how the entire scottish mma community at the time was unitied by the chant of "MONGOOOOOOO, MONGOOOOOO"

Sorry... had to do it... I remember this - piss funny when he punches the cage in frustration after he gets tapped "Come on!"

That was awesome!! Particularly the backfist to the cage after he lost.

Did I hear him shout "you fight like a poof" after he got tapped?

Absolute quality. I love how our hero, in trying to escape the RNC, pulls the dude's arm over the chin and further down towards his throat, just to give him an even better choke. Fantastic. God bless Doolan for starting the chant, wish that had been captured on the video.

Anyone know if Cunningham is still "fighting"?

thaison
05-01-2012, 10:55 PM
cunningham never started fighting haha

I loved Cagekombat. 1st shows i started going to.


Mongo chant was Inspired and factually correct.

we also started the mongo chant at a pretty epic fight between a giant librarian looking mother fucker with a middle shed and a wee part time tyre fitter full time pub fighter type guy at a show in airdrie town hall.

I feel you only had to mention it was in Airdrie there and it would have been justified for me.

thaison

airdie town hall is a brilliant venue for the mongo chant

That video is epic. Matt Jee was a bad man too - mongo picked the wrong dude to try and pretend he was a hard nut to in front of his friends and family.

Brilliant! Travelled up from Newcastle for this. The event, not the mentalist. Remember we couldn't work out what was being chanted but sang along anyway.
