Former National Basketball Association (NBA) superstar Shaquille O'Neal knows a thing or two about mixed martial arts (MMA), rubbing elbows with Tito Ortiz, hamming it up with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White and even calling out Korean beanstalk Hong Man Choi. So what's ex-Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Jose Canseco got to do, got to do with it? Apparently the steroid stool-pigeon is trying to pick a fight with "The Cactus," calling him out on Twitter and promising to "complete him." Thank you to all my bashers who helped me find @shaq u are the best .he told rueters today that he is ready to fight me .i will complete him O'Neal recently responded (via Chicago Tribune) and promised that his Shaq Fu, powered by the sugar high from a bowl of Frosted Flakes, would be enough to bash the former Oakland brother. Check it out. "I challenged him a long time ago. If he wants it done, he knows where to find me. He can be high off whatever, and I'll be high off Frosted Flakes." Canseco failed to make the Mexican Baseball League when he refused a doping test, but claims he was being singled out after alleging that several stars on the current roster are allowed to play despite "having the same prescription and medical condition." His lone MMA appearance took place back in 2009, when he was crushed by Hong Man Choi as part of DREAM's Super Hulk Tournament. Anyone think he has a shot against Shaq?

Jose Canseco is at it again. The former MLB slugger and one-time MMA fighter is once again trying to make a name for himself in the MMA world. And this time, he's made a suitably ridiculous challenge. On Twitter over the weekend, Canseco suggested holding an event he's bizarrely titled "Beef Bash 1" - a 4 man MMA tournament in Las Vegas. The participants? Canseco, Herschel Walker, Shaquille O'Neal, and Mike Tyson. After baseball season i'm thiniking of holding vegas mma tourney .Beef Bash 1with me shaq tyson an herschel .any promoters interested ? Now, it has to be said right off the bat that this is purely a challenge from Canseco, and the chances of it happening are about 1 in a million. But if you're a fan of freakshow fighting (and, I admit, that's me), this is a pretty entertaining concept to consider. There's no doubt it would draw a lot of interest, and Canseco himself will probably drum up a bit of publicity just from bringing it up, which is really all he wants, right? This is not the first time Canseco has made a similar challenge. He has had public back and forth challenges with both Walker and Shaq previously, though Tyson is a new name being thrown into the mix. Canseco is 0-1 as an MMA fighter, having lost to Hong Man Choi in the absurd (and awesome) Dream Super Hulk tournament. Walker is 2-0 in Strikeforce. Neither Tyson nor Shaq have any MMA experience, though Shaq is a long-time fan who has discussed fighting before. There has also been talk of Shaq taking a pro wrestling match at this year's Wrestlemania, though it looks like that won't be happening. Overall it's ridiculous, never going to happen, and many will hate it. But it brings a smile to my face just the same. That said - no Minowaman? For shame Jose.
