Will Dan Smith and Shaun Deeb Head to the Octagon?
High stakes players Dan Smith and Shaun Deeb might be heading to the Octagon to settle their differences. The American tournament players seem to be embroiled in a typical social media spat with Smith suggesting they settle it with their fists with a seven-figure prize for the winner.

The most recent spat follows Dan Smith posting a photo of himself with three attractive girls and Shaun Deeb commenting how it must be almost impossible to find three adult girls shorter than him.
Heavyweight Shaun Deeb a Huge Favorite
While Dan Smith can be applauded for his bravado in public, it is unlikely that this could ever be a serious fight. We’re not saying that it couldn’t happen, just that the size difference between the two men is too much to be taken seriously.
No confirmed figures are available for either player but it is unlikely that Dan Smith reaches any more than 165cm or 5ft 5in.
Shaun Deeb on the other hand is clearly a much taller man and with a much heavier build.
Must have been tough to find 3 girls shorter than you that are legal

There was more than one comment aimed at Deeb picking on somebody much smaller than him while considerably overweight himself.
Dan “Jungleman” Cates added:
“I wonder if you are secure about your weight, which presumably you have some power to change, as @DanSmithHolla is about his height, which he can’t? *waits for it*”
Jason Koon Suggests Poker Fight Club
Just to stir the pot a little, fellow high stakes tournament star Jason Koon tweeted that we should have a poker fight club.
He offered to commentate, and if a great roster starts to build up he’ll “definitely get in there.”
One poster commented that Shaun Deeb should bite the bullet and take a size disadvantage against the true heavyweight Jason Koon. We’d love to see that.
Feel like poker needs a fight club. I vote we start one! We can go @roughnrowdy style just 3, 1 minute rounds, no head gear. Should be enough to get all of the fire out. Let’s get a roster going. https://t.co/S0oWbd6K6Q

Of course, people should always be careful what they wish for. Another poster soon realized what we’d all forgotten.
“Y’all going to screw around and get @olivierbusquet on your ass.”
Olivier Busquet is a serious candidate for best fighter in the poker ranks. Maybe he relied on his physical size and conditioning in his previous fight but still looks the part for a true even-size matchup. Without a shadow of doubt he would accept a fight challenge from any poker player in the world.
