Well, apparently years ago Michael and his girlfriend at the time were in Gold's/Venice and when Michael wasn't around, Flex started hitting on his girl and Michael got mad and was after Flex to fight him, but Chris Cormier came in and held Michael back.
Who knows if it's true or not.
I don't lie .....(if i was id say i knocked Kenny out)
early 1990's went to Golds Venice, went to visit with Mike Matarazzo (who had just recently moved there) always wanted to visit "The Mecca",Mike introduced me to "The Crew" (Flex,Chris Cormier,Gary Strydom,Paul Dillett etc )
while i was in the "3rd room" at golds Flex was hitting on my girl at the time, quote "What are you doing with him?/meet me later").....This girl did not tell me this right away (which angered me even more)....by the time i saw Flex again (later that day at the Firehouse) i "flipped" yelling,swearing,spitting etc etc ,Chris and someones brother broke it up inside,went outside (Chris pulled me aside asked me "if i really wanted to do this/Flex was a black belt)
lot's more yelling ...no punches thrown,(lil bit of pushing/shoving)
not a big deal (Flex was a "snake" and was known for this type behaviour) at the time Flex = cocky arrogant
asshole (who honestly needed his ass kicked)
that's it...............(let me just add Chris was very cool and seemed like a great guy!)
