Shonie Carter’s International Incident
Posted by Tommy Hackett on November 7th, 2008
This isn’t what I have in mind when I hear Shonie Carter’s nom de guerre “Mr. International.” But…
Two days ago, the veteran MMA welter, well known for his offbeat personality, posted asking for help at the Underground Forum:
Ok last time I was in california when it all starterd, but this time I have really messed up! I was out one night pARTYING IT UP AND BEFORE I knew it, I am on a private jet. I laughed at first and passed out on the plane. I woke up in istanbul, turkey. The reason I know because I am looking at the Black sea! WTF! I got a ride to bulgarian/ turkish border looking for American Embassy. Does anybody have any ideas on how to get back? The onetime I leave my friggin passport at home I need the damned thing!
The thread is here.
My first reaction to this kind of thing is that it’s got to be fake, but this is Shonie Carter we’re talking about, so nothing would surprise me. For what it’s worth, the site’s owner says the posts are indeed coming from Bulgaria.
So, Total-MMA readers, if you’re in Bulgaria and have some pull, or if you’re in the US and would be kind enough to feed Mr. Carter’s pythons and tarantuals in his absence, by all means, please help a brother out.
