Usually, when you go to an underground show you never know who’s going to fight. Not so with the upcoming installment of the Underground Combat League, which will feature ex-convict nicknamed “Wargod” against veteran MMA fighter Joe Funaro in what will be the culmination of one heck of an Internet tempest in a digital teacup. For those out of the loop, Wargod was at the center of an online witch hunt, which spilled over into reality when Wargod confronted one of his non-anonymous accusers (James Funaro, twin brother to Joe) at his gym. Now it’s Joe’s turn to throw down. Is this a bad-blood kind of match-up? By all accounts, no, there’s no bad blood there at all. But based on the amount of attention and press it’s garnered, this is most certainly a bout people want to see. Who will win? Based on MMA experience alone, Joe has the edge, and being younger, and possessing of a wide range of fight skills, doesn’t hurt his cause. Wargod – a self-described “big puncher” – has a chance, but the odds aren’t in his favor. Of course, only time will tell.
