I once met an amateur muay thai fighter from New Jersey who claimed he was from Bangkok, Afghanistan. He faked touching gloves with a switch-kick at the start of his fight en route to a unanimous decision loss. Somewhere during the fight, he also tried faking a groin shot by calling ‘time-out,’ but that didn’t stop MiddleEasy reader Rudy Felix from resuming his ruthless shin-to-mouth onslaught. His poor sportsmanship didn’t really play a role in the fight, but after consulting several maps and various natives of Afghanistan who work at a kebab house on the West Side of New York City, I’m starting to believe that no such city of origin exists. If it does, I’m curious what the food is like out there. I’m guessing the meat is tough & gamey, but they cover everything in spicy curry to keep it interesting. The place sounds exotic enough to draw Donald Trump’s kids out for a hunting expedition. In fact, TMZ put together a video of their last hunting trip and Stephen Bonnar has thrown down an interesting challenge in this video courtesy of TrashTalkinKids.
