LAS VEGAS — This is just too funny not to post. So, Tuff-N-Uff decided to bring Aaron Tru and Lee Honish into the cage last night to face off to announce the signing of their upcoming fight in March.
After an exchange of words, Tru pushes Honish and they are separated briefly before Honish makes a run for him and all hell breaks loose.
The fiasco ends with Homish getting put in a choke hold by someone that looked a lot like Larry Mir before being escorted out of the building. Tru has a black eye.
By the way, neither guy is a professional fighter. Tru was nominated for “MMA reporter of the year” last year and is best known for getting choked out by Cris Cyborg, Honish is a radio host who is best known for getting his nose broke by Danny Bonaduce.
You can read my initial reaction to what happened here as I was watching the fight card live online and posting results.
According to one report, the exchange of words between the two went like this:
Lee: Suck in your gut everyones looking
Aaron: Why are you shaking
Lee: Because its taking every ounce of energy not to hit you, I promised them (promoters) you’d walk out
Aaron: Why are you shaking
Lee: Aaron, why did you make this personal
Aaron: F**K You
(SHOVED BY AARON, AARON RUNS OUT OF CAGE)
Lee: Bring his sad, fat ass back… Im not leaving
Jeff: Just go
Lee: Let him back in, because it will take all of you to get me out of here including LVPD (Las Vegas Metro)
(AARON ENETERS RING)
Lee: Deal is off Jeff, he’s not walking back out again…
(LEE ATTACKS AND IS TACKLED BY 5 PEOPLE, AARON IS HELD BACK BY 1)
Unknown Ref: Are you done?
Lee: I am going to F**king kill him tonight… No, I’m not!
(LEE IS THEN PUT IN CHOKE HOLD AT BOTTOM OF PILE)
Unknown Ref: Stop or we will choke you out and carry you out! We will call metro and have you arrested!
Lee: You Better, cause he’s (Aaron’s) not leaving the building
(LEE IS LET UP)
Unknown: Your out of the building
Lee: Jeff make sure your sad, fat — F**K friend makes in the cage next month
(LEE IS REMOVED FROM CAGE AND THROWN OUT AND ESCORTED TO VEHICLE AND OFF PROPERTY)
Are you seriously going to put this shit on your website?
Absolutely!! For three reasons. It’s funny. It’s a Saturday. And Tru started out his “MMA career” with us. — Okay, four reasons; it seems just as relevant as Natasha Wicks’ road rash (https://prommanow.com/index.php/2011/02/12/photo-of-the-day-a-battered-natasha-wicks/).

Pepper is just bitter! I’m amazed at how fast Aaron got out of the ring when he shoved me… I promise it will, at the very least be an interesting fight.
It has definitely brought a lot more hype to it. I find it very entertaining myself. See Tru was originally supposed to fight Danny Acosta, who was being trained by the late great “Fast” Eddie Constantine who is one of the original members of this site. Tru is also one of our original members. So I’m very interested to see how this whole thing plays out. I’ll be watching one way or the other.
This is some great promo, thanks for putting it up. Who is michael pepper? Nevermind my son just googles him “michael pepper accuses Aaron Tru of oral copulation ” I understand why he doesn’t want people to watch this fight. Who cares about some website in the UK? Great job on this article sir
This is old-timers son, great article these boys seem to be some shit
Crappy fighter should be a great fight. The mmabay pepper guy is quite the character, read some more stuff, seems no one cares for his tactics, he really screwed the guys over at profightnetwork and stole their name to the radio show, it’s back to fight net radio goodness.
Awesome article, funny these guys are same level, both known for getting beat up. Lee honish has an awesome radio show with chris Greenman , I swear I would join but fear for my safety unless I stay put. I love fight net radio and now Aaron Tru
The real question is, if Tru filmed himself taking a shit would you put it online?
As long as he did it in the middle of an MMA fight.
I would rather not be associated with grown men acting like children, but that is just me.
tackled by 5 people? come on. you got taken down by the same person that put u in the lock and everyone else tripped and fell
I agree, It didn’t take all 5, but they sure weren’t worried about Aaron
Lee is all this for publicity?
I know at one time there was talk of them donating the money to charity. Not sure if it’s still the case.
I still hear charity for crones, so I’m down to help. No, I was pissed at Aaron, he made it personal with me…. I dont know why he did, but he did…. I just saw the tuff feed, Aaron is a little shaken up by my attack… I did a complete accounting of the nights events on a quicky show on Sunday for fight net radio:

3/12/11 will be a wild night in Vegas! I seem to make the most insignificant things into wild events!
As for pepper, if he were respectful, I’d consider him on a short list “if” I beat Aaron. I know the tuff people want this to be a continued title concept with bigger celebrities…
As for the tuff people being upset? I didn’t get any angry emails… I think they got the press they wanted.
I thought you and Pepper were friends Lee?
I tried, he got into a pissing match with chris about name right for the radio show… He blames me somehow… I tried to make him the next march if I win at tuff… But he is so oddly angry at me… People just hate me! I got booed at tuff, I dont even think they knew who they were booing… I’m just a natural villain… The legends of my activities are better than half the things I’ve done. I am somehow the most hated man in mma, it’s like me and koscheck… Then everyone else
I thought I heard you on their radio show before.
Anyway, what’s your plan against the Tru-ster? How will you handle the male Katie Couric of MMA?
