While the two seem to be in different weight classes, Canseco does have some MMA experience, losing to seven-foot fighter Hong Man Choi in under two minutes in 2009. He was also knocked out by former NFL player Vai Sikahema in a celebrity boxing match in 2008.

Maybe the attention-hungry Canseco should focus on trying to fight the green Power Ranger instead. That's probably more his speed.
