Two mayors in South Florida set to face off in MMA bout for charity
Mayors in competing cities often place bets when there sports teams face off. Quite often, they offer the city’s signature foods and gifts. For this year’s Super Bowl, the San Francisco mayor spent a day in service in Baltimore after the Ravens won. But two mayors in south Florida are upending that tradition. They’ll be the ones competing.
Carlos Hernandez, the mayor of Hialeah, and Michael Pizzi, the mayor of Miami Lakes, plan to square off for charity. It started as a discussion over dinner — and a few drinks — over who could beat each other up. It snowballed from there.
Hernandez, 52, says he has trained with the Gracies, one of MMA’s most important families. Pizzi has another plan.
“Carlos is an athlete into aerobics,” Pizzi said to MMA Junkie. “I’m of the Tank Abbott (and) Roy Nelson school of training, which is have a six-pack of beer, get off a bar stool and knock the guy out in the first three punches.”
While Nelson does like to show off his belly, he’s in a bit better shape than Pizzi says.
The two mayors haven’t set a date for the bout yet as they are still looking for a promoter. The Miami Herald reports the fight will take place in Hernandez’s home turf of Hialeah. Money they raise from the bout will go to programs benefiting children in each mayor’s city.
