Title: A Lion and 42 Midgets

Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion

Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kï¿½mpï¿½ng Chhnï¿½ng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted.

An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kï¿½mpï¿½ng Chhnï¿½ng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the cityï¿½s coliseum.

The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.

The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.

Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they ï¿½ï¿½ could out-wit and out-muscle [it].ï¿½

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Three thoughts immediately went through my head upon reading this

#1 This is definately Darwin Award material

#2 What kinda idiot was leading those midgets? I mean Hexx isn't Cambodain is he?

#3 I need to try to find out something more about who this idot was out of a morbid curiosity

Here is what my search revealed

I know really! I'll bet I could have won and only lost about ten midgets. ;)
