“People Have No Idea What They Do”: After Learning About California-Based Gang’s Story Involving Death Row Records’ CEO, Michael Jai White Speaks on the “Unfair Advantage” in a Street Fight

Hollywood Actor and MMA practitioner Michael Jai White is someone who knows a bit too much about fights. Recently, the ‘Tyson’ actor talked about street fights after listening to an incident that happened to Suge Knight. It was Keefe D who narrated the entire incident. Marion Hugh Knight Jr., popularly known as Suge Knight, is a former record executive, convicted felon, and the former CEO of Death Row Records. Knight is a huge man whose physique is enough to scare people. It’s unbelievable to think about people messing with him, as he can easily beat them up. However, the story narrated by Keefe D about him was quite surprising.

Keefe D is a member of the Californian-based gang known as The South Side Crompton Crips. According to his story, Knight and his bodyguard were once beaten up by a guy who knew karate. When Keefe D narrated the entire story, the interviewer was shocked. However, Jai White, being an MMA practitioner, knew what exactly happened there.

Michael Jai White talks about what happens in a street fight

Michael Jai White was talking in an interview with DJ Vlad. During the conversation, the interviewer began to talk about street fights. He mentioned Keefe D and the story he narrated. Later, footage of Keefe D was shown, where he mentioned Suge Knight and his bodyguard getting beaten up. This happened long before social media existed like it does today. The guy who knew karate was able to beat the mighty Suge Knight. After listening to the incident, Michael Jai White said, “Yeah, it is an unfair advantage because I mean you’ve been I mean, most people don’t know how to block a kick to the face right. They don’t know how to do that. I mean, I’ve had street fights where it’s just like yeah, this is a whole different thing and people just have no idea what they’re dealing with.”

The interviewer emphasized how big Knight was. He mentioned that Knight might be someone who is six feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. The interviewer was clearly confused about how someone could beat up such a strong guy. As a response, the ‘Falcon Rising’ actor told, “Big guys a lot of times. It’s a false sense of security. You’re a big a** target that I mean really you’re a big target. If I’m hitting a big you can’t get out of the way fast enough and it’s going to destroy you once it hits you.” According to Jai White, when a street fight takes place, the heavier guy is not always at an advantage. He can be a bigger target for the opponent. He further mentioned how people have no idea about the strength of their opponent in a random street fight. Hence, you cannot predict who will get beaten up.

Jai White then mentioned Jon Jones. The Hollywood actor says that the biggest strength of Jones is that, being a heavyweight, he knows to calculate the movement of his opponent and strike accordingly. Jai White’s take on street fights makes it clear that in a fight, size might not matter all the time.
