An internet troll picking a fight with a professional fighter? What could possibly go wrong?
As long as humanity remains clinging to this molten rock that’s hurtling through space, there will be idiots who think they have what it takes to beat up trained fighters.
Everyone knows that knuckle-dragger who thinks he can knock out Paddy Barnes with zero training solely because he’s a small guy. You may know of a slack-jawed donkey who claims they could finish Artem Lobov because of his record. And, of course, there are a few mouth-breathers out there who feel they could outpunch Katie Taylor because of her gender.
These hollow-headed idiots rarely learn their lesson, but when they do it’s bloody glorious. Every so often, try one of them tries to prove they are the exception to the rule and they get their comeuppance.
He couldn't get out of there quick enough https://t.co/0oIkuckFY7

The bodybuilder that called out Cody Garbrandt fled the scene before the then-UFC bantamweight champion had a chance to get his hands on him. Also, it wasn’t that long ago when UFC veteran Josh Neer gave a social media troll a savage beatdown after he kept pestering him abusive messages. The resulting footage was so violent it went viral.
A man by the name of Kristopher Zylinski wants to join this elite group of trolls who were found out. He booked himself a fight against undefeated amateur female fighter Anna Dempster by making a serious of sexist comments on Facebook. This tirade included the following:
“99% of women are too weak and lack the reflexes to do enough damage to stop 99% of men. Even if they knew BJJ they just don’t have the size or strength to use the holds. It’s dangeous (sic) to teach any woman to try and strike or fight a man. Just my 2 cents.”
McDojoLife shared Zylinski’s comments, put up a $1,000 purse for any pro female 160lb fighter who wanted to beat the guy. Dempster jumped at the opportunity and the date was set for January 6.
Unfortunately, Dempster suffered a torn retina in training and she was forced to withdraw from the fight. This caused a scramble to find a replacement fighter, which was found pretty swiftly.
So, yeah… I guess this is happening 🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/yhOadR5WeR

Rather than facing an amateur, Zylinski will take on Tara LaRosa, an MMA veteran with a 22-5 professional record. LaRosa is a former Bodog Fight champion, has two knockout victories and 12 submission victories on her record and has beaten the likes of Alexis Davis, Roxanne Modafferi, Julie Kedzie and Shayna Bazsler.
Yer man hasn’t got a hope in hell!
