Meet The Real Tiger King

Fighter profile of Joe Exotic by Chris Karter

SYN Middleweight champion of the world Joe "The Real Tiger King" Exotic (22-8-1) is preparing for his title unification bout with Comate's Middleweight champion Jake Bird (27-15-0) at SYN 943 in the Wombley Arena in London.

Hailing from Oklahoma, Joe grew up in a conservative closet with a roughneck father that constantly harrassed young Joe for being too flamboyant, often calling him a queer, a democrat, or a Twink. To be fair to the ignorant old man, Joe is at least two out of three of those things.

When Joe was young, he didn't care about MMA until he seen a meme circling the internet of Wandy and Shogun spooning in a BJJ GI. Suddenly his affinity with butterflies and rainbows shifted to the man-on-man action known as Jiujitsu. At 18 years old, Joe knew only one truth in life, he wanted to clinch, pull guard, and prove to the MMA world that he was the ultimate power bottom.

Since there aren't any good gyms in Oklahoma, he resorted to the internet to find a gym to hone his God-given ability, you see, Joe always knew that mounting men and beating them up was what he was best at, he just needed to find the right manager to help mold him into the best version of himself. That man was none other than MMA manager Billy Arseworth.

They met on an internet forum and cat-fished each other. Joe was suppose to be a 6 foot 4 inch Light Heavyweight with KO power, and Billy was suppose to be Chris Karter. But after the two men put the deception behind them, they found common ground in their taste for lovers and favorite sexual positions. After a night out on the town and spending a night together at a downtrodden Motel 6, Joe Exotic agreed to move to New York to train full-time at Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Gymnasium.

The transition to New York City was natural for Joe, he blended in with the people of the Big Apple and he finally felt like he belonged. For Joe, he was home, and for Billy, well, he was just excited to have a young handsome man like Joe in the building.

Joe started his career at California MMA, naturally another place he felt at home, and his inspiration was the Book of Dave. Joe compiled a record of 11-6 and the highlight of his CMMA career was probably beating up Kobe Bryant twice.

Kobe Bryant probably should have filed a restraining order on Joe Exotic, because Joe followed him to the Blaze Brothers organization and decided to beat him up again before moving on to SYN. The rumors that the SYN org owner and Joe exchanged backdoor favors before sealing the deal is unconfirmed at this moment but Joe hinted at it earlier this year.

"Once you go black you don't go back." Joe exclaimed in a tweet that has since been deleted. That would perhaps explain the physical/sexual assault over beloved NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately for Kobe, only one of them has been charged with sexual assault, and it isn't Joe.

Joe's SYN debut started with a big KO punch, as Joe wanted to prove to the world and his manager that he was more than just a grappler with a pretty face. A few fights later and Joe found himself booked against the #2 P4P fighter in the world and alliance mate Winston Todd.

Joe did the unthinkable. He bested Winston Todd not once, but twice, proving it no fluke. However controversy be damned, GWad and Billy were spotted on a romantic evening together sharing wine and escargot before the fights, leading many to speculate that the fight had been fixed, or Billy used his charm and charisma to swoo GWad away from setting sliders. Apparently it worked.

Joe "The Real Tiger King" Exotic is the #1 Middleweight in the world, the #2 P4P fighter on the planet, and the frontrunner to win the 2022 Middleweight of the Year award if he can finish the job against Jake Bird at SYN 943, and if there's one thing Joe's proven time and time again in his career, it's that he's one of the best on the planet at finishing men off.
