    You talkin’ to me?!

    You don’t wanna run into me on the Mean Streets, pal. I’m just sayin’.

    Not only did I work as Jack Sharkey’s sparring partner before he fought Jack Dempsey (“The Battle of the Jacks”), I also rumbled with Hell’s Angels when they tried to cut me off entering the 101 just north of Santa Barbara. I also wrestled professionally as The Mad Vampire, where I’d swoop into the ring like a bat, and I took the WBC Heavyweight Belt in a brutal bout with the Honky Tonk Man back in 1986.

    That’s just shy of a full century of bloody fists from Yours Truly, so believe me when I tell you that Saturday’s Reality Fighting MMA and Grappling Superfights in the Mohegan Sun Arena will be a Mozartian opera of violence!

    Pow! Zap! Bam! Punch! Club! Slug! Ouch!

    Reality Fighting MMA and Grappling Superfights, 6 p.m. Saturday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $67-$89; mohegansun.com.
