Title: Drummer Kenny Aronoff to MMA
Post by: jephrius on July 30, 2012, 04:44:48 PM
I heard a rumor that drummer Kenny Aronoff of John Cougar Mellencamp fame is going to start a pro MMA career, after being inspired by Herschel Walker. Thoughts?

more proof boxing > mma.

any chump can start mma and have a decent chance of winning (i.e. lesnar, walker, etc.)

why don't those guys try boxing, where the real money is at?  answer: one of the klitschko bros / david haye would knock their head right off.

Anyone can get into a cage and swing their arms, but few are good at it. This guy will be from the bottom if the barrel

Saw him when he toured with John Fogerty. Was off on his snare a half beat on Down on The Corner. I was kinda hoping he'd have a heart attack and they'd ask if anyone in the audience could play CCR songs on the drums, but god wasn't on my side that day.

We can hope Oprah will also end up in the ring. Would be nice to see her against Junior Dos Santos.

He's not Herschel Walker....that guy is from another planet.  Guy eats nothing but bread and soup once a day and can beat the shit out of people.  He was already dangerous in the NFL but he's ripping it up in MMA

If you're that fucking gullible to believe that horseshit then you should buy some lovely beachfront property in Alaska that I'm selling.

You also believe that he never lifted weights in college when he won the Heisman, don't cha?

Kenny Aronoff:
"I’m really intense about trying to be as healthy as possible without being completely neurotic. I still drink wine and like to have fun, but I’m into staying fit and in shape. I focus on seven areas: cardio, lifting weights, stretching, maintaining a good diet, taking supplements, drinking lots of water, and getting good sleep. Those are my big seven (though I suck at the sleep part!). On a regular basis I’m always thinking about staying healthy.
I’m into sports in general, but the NFL is my thing. I’ve been to eleven Super Bowls, and I used to fly with the Indianapolis Colts when I was with Mellencamp and I was in Indiana more often. Also, I totally look up to and respect Lance Armstrong. That guy is a living hero to me. He survives cancer, overcomes that, and wins seven Tour De Frances? Not one. Not two. But seven. So he’s my hero, period!"

I'm not suprised. Every celebrity and his brother is doing BJJ and MMA these days. Someone is filling this guys head up with nonsense. He is fifty plus and going to get his ass kicked. Badly.

I believe his claim was that he didn't lift weights, but did something like a few thousand pushups and a few thousand situps a day.  That's completely possible.  Saying that, I'm sure he has picked up weights, it prob. just wasn't part of his regular routine.

mma "was" the closest thing to real fighting thats why u choose that over boxing

you have more chances of winning in a mma fight than a boxing fight

in boxing u need to be able to take a punch in mma you can use your fighting instinct and do well

That is backwards from any job I have ever had. You have the slightest hint of alcohol scent on you, you're fucked. You can smoke pot on every break you get, throw on some bodyspray, and a piece of gum, and be fine.

Aronoff had his first MMA fight and got beaten very badly by a young black kid who specialized in muay tai.
