UFC Fighter Jacob Volkmann Calls Out President Barack Obama, Gets A Visit From the Secret Service

[^_^ 5,021]

UFC lightweight Jacob Volkmann, following his UFC 125 win over Antonio McKee, declared that he wanted to fight President Barack Obama for his next fight.

...

After defeating McKee, Volkmann was asked who he would like to fight next. Volkmann first requested Clay Guida, then said “Actually, Obama. He’s not too bright … Someone needs to knock some sense into that idiot. I just don’t like what Barack is doing.”

That comment got the government’s attention, as just days later, the Secret Service came to chat with the fighter.

...

“It happened on Tuesday, I was coaching youth practice, and then two guys came up and one of the other coaches that was helping me out, they said there was a cop and another guy out there waiting for me,” Volkmann told MMAWeekly.com. “I went out there and the guy introduced himself and said he was from the Secret Service and he wanted to ask me some questions about UFC 125 and my quote. He said there were people calling in to D.C. telling them that somebody, me, was threatening the President.”

The Secret Service showed up both at his residence and during a youth wrestling camp he coaches.

The interview is a formality, as the Secret Service investigates all potential threats made against the President, but Wednesday should be the close of the matter for Volkmann.

“This guy had the whole interview on a piece of paper and it had my picture and everything,” said Volkmann. “He was like ‘is this what you said?’ and I said, ‘yes it is.’ He’s like ‘I want to let you know I’m a little embarrassed for coming here and doing this because obviously nothing happened.’ He actually apologized for coming, but he had to come. He wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to D.C to hurt the President.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

I'd like to knock some sense into him too....

He can come over and we can duke it out. No problems.

Wonder if I'll get a visit from the SS now?

Idiots... You make one damn comment on TV and the SS is at your doorstep.

why didn't we hear of anyone commenting on Bush getting these visits from the SS?

People famous and not said all kinds of stuff threatening him.

We heard it. You didn't. One of the sillier ones that comes to mind was when a pro-bush cartoon was perceived by the secret service to be a threat to the president and they ended up visiting the cartoonist.

He should have challenged Obama to a game of barnyard basketball at the White House.
