This is easily one of the most fu#*ed up things I’ve seen on the internet.
Apparently somewhat boysterous in his latest advertising campaign for the Cambodian Midget Fighting League (CMFL), Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, stated his midgets will “… take on anything; man, beast, or machine.”
In May of 2005, an angry fan challenged Sihamoni that a single african lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.
He might have gone a bit overboard with the pridefulness, but soon after the challenge 42 midgets squared off with an african lion in front of a sell-out crowd in Kâmpóng Chhnãng.
The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.
Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].â€
Unfortunately, he was wrong.

This is one of the craziest things I have read in a long time. Lets be honest a midget is essentially a disabled person. How were they going to beat a lion? I would choose the lion over 42 olymic athletes.
Not to mention what kind of crazy ass drugs did those guys have to be on to get into that ring with a lion.
