Video: UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar gets 'Blindsided' by Akira Corassani

Get out of here, bro!

Before Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar can defend his strap against Ben Henderson at UFC 144 in Saitama, Japan on Feb. 26, 2012, he fell victim to a hidden camera prank show called "Blindsided."

The prank was master planned by former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) participant Akira Corassani, who made a habit of ticking off his housemates in the TUF house during filming of season 14, Team Bisping vs.Team Mayhem.

The setup is simple: After a training session, Edgar comes out to the parking lot to see a tow truck trying to repo "The Answer's" wheels in the form of his beautiful BMW.

Luckily for the brave actor, the calm, cool and collected Edgar, didn't seem to get too heated, but still a nice try on the part of his training partners.

glad to see akira found a place to be a douche outside the tuf house

i was a little worried that him being a douche would end when the show came to an end, but thankfully there’s still a place for him.

That was the weakest shit I've seen all day. He didn't believe it for a second.

Worst prank crew ever, Akira was made to look like the idiot we already know he is.

I saw this a few weeks ago.

It wasn’t even funny.

Akira is like a 10 year old that just discovered erections.

You and your Danago friends better batten down the hatches. Because when it hits, you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us!

Weak!

“Punked” wannabe. I’d rather see Ashton Kutcher pull a prank on Frankie than this weak sauce.

Unfortunately Demi Moore already beat Ashton's ass

Professional sig bet record: 7-8-1

The feast is over for Nick Diaz. No longer will he dine on mediocre fighters from lesser promotions. With a future promising fights against GSP, Condit, Fitch, Kos, MacDonald, Ellenberger, Alves, Hendricks and Sanchez, you probably should retire. Don’t be scared, Homie.

that was

Really stupid.

I also am sad that Akira is training with Edgar…that guy is a Tool..come on Edgar you can find better sparring partners.

by MMAPride on Feb 8, 2012 11:32 PM EST reply actions  

I was just thinking that after watching this. Like damn he is gearing up for a tough ass fight and this McAsshole is in there trying to scratch up his Beamer?

yeah they could have someone better in there...

Akira is a waste of space… maybe he makes a good punching bag though.

Akira should be careful

He is replaceable as a training partner for Edgar. Same is not true the other way around.

A shitty version of a prank show we've already seen before

and a shitty version of a prank we already saw on tuf…

Real weak

And Akira your not a UFC tighter till you fight in the UFC.

Nick Diaz sucks balls , he can’t hang with the elite WW’s he only looks good against 2nd rate guys in SF

frankie didnt buy any of it

fail.

I am willing to test myself against the toughest fighters in the world, in front of hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans, over and over again. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, but I always come to fight. I've been doing this for the past fourteen years, and I have at least a few more strong years left in me. What have you done in the past fourteen years other than act like a moron on this forum and hang on Anderson's nuts? - Dan Henderson.

he should try to prank Nick Diaz outside the Gracie camp's gym

I live in America! Land of the coward, home of the slave. Watch that TV, go to that football game, that circus, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and other mainstream media are not owned by large corporations, they are always honest and fair and they never lie to you. Whatever you do don't read history books, don't study the constitution, do everything you can possibly do to be happy in life. Just don't ever get involved in your government, big brother will take care of you. Your elected officials always do what's in your best interest, there is no corruption in our government, good little sheep, just make yourself happy, just entertain yourself, the government is only here to entertain you and take care of you and feed you and make you happy, don't you worry your little head over world affairs.
