LOL what? Following his win at UFC 125, lightweight Jacob Volkmann, who is also a chiropractor, told interviewer Ariel Helwani that he wanted his next opponent to be POTUS Barack Obama (video below). He explained that he wanted to knock some sense into Obama and called him an idiot for his handling of the health care issue. Liberal pussies across the nation united to get Volkmann in shit for the interview, video of which spread across the internet and made landing page news on The Huffington Post. One of the angered fruits had the gall to contact the FBI and the secret service directly which lead to an agent visiting Volkmann at his gym in Minnesota. Volkmann was teaching children martial arts at the time. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/1/5...acted-by-secret-service-for-calling-out-obama WTF don't people have anything better to do than freak out when someone says something they don't like?

Re: Secret Service agent visits UFC's Jacob Volkmann to ensure he won't try to hurt O ...crazy, but this technique actually works quite well if you ever want to meet Secret Service Agents! A good friend of mine was trying to modify his home mortgage a couple of years ago when shit first hit the fan and was going around and around in circles for nearly 100 minutes. At about 30mins into the conversation he kept dropping subtle hints that, "Don't make me resort to saying something that will get you to help"...he mentioned a variation of that phrase about a dozen times in the next hour of conversation. After making virtually no progress in reasoning with his bank, he decided to play his ace in the hole. Long story short, he finally yelled at the top of his lungs, "If you don't help me out, then I AM GOING TO KILL YOUR PRESIDENT!!!" Within 24 hours he had 3 agents at his front door questioning him about the incident...the also knew every single piece of information possible about him. Luckily, because he kept giving that warning, they decided not to pursue any charges against him. But they did offer a stern warning stating that any time any president comes back to his home state, then they will be following his every move.

Re: Secret Service agent visits UFC's Jacob Volkmann to ensure he won't try to hurt O What evidence do you have that we liberals spread the story? This video seems like something you Bushies would spread. It wasn't the pussies, it was a Bush spread.
Re: Secret Service agent visits UFC's Jacob Volkmann to ensure he won't try to hurt O What you did there- I see it.
Re: Secret Service agent visits UFC's Jacob Volkmann to ensure he won't try to hurt O That is a wild story. I guess these guys really don't have anything better to do. But by "your president" couldn't he have meant the president of whatever lending company he was talking to?
Re: Secret Service agent visits UFC's Jacob Volkmann to ensure he won't try to hurt O Holy shit! http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/fighter-takes-on-obama/1268553
Re: Tonight Show parodies Jacob Volkmann's interview [update- video] I thought it was pretty crazy also that the clip made it on to Jay Leno. Volkman is big time now.
UFC fighter who threatened Obama profiled on Fox Business, "good guy" [video] Remember that UFC fighter who said he wanted to fight Obama because of the mess he made out of health care? The one who had a visit from the Secret Service after people complained about his comments and was parodied on the Tonight Show? Well in totally not related to him criticizing Obama news, Jacob Volkmann was recently featured on Fox Business. Robin Leach or whoever the interviewer is talks to him about fighting, being a chiropractor, and the looming evil that is Obamacare paperwork. Then concludes by saying Volkmann is "an all-around good guy" which is something I would agree with but it is funny in the context of Volkmann's recent fame. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/1/11/1929783/jacob-volkmann-on-fox-business-news

Re: UFC fighter who threatened Obama profiled on Fox Business, "good guy" [video] http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/new...hile-high-school-investigates-Obama-comments/ Jesus Christ, his comments are causing a major headache for him. Where is the ACLU to stick up for this guy?
Re: Jacob Volkmann's Obama comments thread [merged, updated: Volkmann suspended] This is getting pretty ludicrous now.
It's fucking crazy how Volkmann is getting so much shit for his little comment. When you watch it you can clearly tell he's saying it jokingly, but aside from that, what he actually said is like 100 times less crazy then those Fox News guys or just some random conservative yet.
joking or not, public threats against any US President have been treated very seriously since forever. It has nothing to do with which party they're from the fighter comes off as an ignorant ass/meathead in this video... being ignorant (as an adult) isn't an acceptable excuse for stupid behavior. Dude should admit he was out of line and hope that puts this behind him STOMP
Will you Blazer fan pussies stay out of the MMA forum? All you Blazer fans do is cry and bitch about everything. It was probably you guys who ratted Volkmann out.
The fighter seems ignorant for speaking his point of view and not being a pussy? How is that ignorant? He is a very intelligent, educated man. You Blazer fan pussies just hate MMA and fighting, so you say this guy is ignorant. He probably has a higher IQ than you and more educated.
Carden, quit trolling. I ran this thread through the Blazers OT forum, that's why there are Blazers fans posting in it. That's what I wanted. BTW are you not a Blazers fan?
Yeah and it sucks being a Blazer fan, because they are all wussies. Starting to be more of a Thunder fan. At least they know how to draft. And I am not trolling, I made an insightful post. These dudes just drive me absolutely nuts.
