The Blog of Hilarity (disclaimer: may not be hilarious) picked up on the next big fight in the world of mixed martial arts: the green Power Ranger versus Some Dude, in the cutthroat competitive world of Illinois Cage Fighting.

After years of restrictions from fighting because of contracts with Disney, [the Green Power Ranger] is now getting a chance to show his skills. [The Green Power Ranger] won his two previous bouts, but he said fighting is something he wants. It's not necessary for him. "I don't need to fight for money like all these other guys," he said. "I just do it because I like to."

This sounds great, but only if he gets to fight with a sword. That could actually make me want to go to Marion, Illinois.  Which is saying a lot — I've been to Marion.  NOT a vacation destination.  Unless you like prisons surrounded by cornfields.  Well, that's not entirely fair.  There are some soy fields, too.

Side note: in the hierarchy of Power Rangers coming-of-age stories, this ranks behind the Pink Power Ranger revealing her cans and WAY AHEAD of the Red Power Ranger doing porn.
