Drummer for the band Blink 182, Travis Barker is an avowed fan of MMA and is a regular in the front rows of UFC events held in the United States. Precisely because he has some knowledge about fighting, he decided to make a bold bet: he will get a tattoo if Brock Lesnar defeat Mark Hunt at UFC 200, this Saturday (9), in Las Vegas (USA).

Barker was approached by a reporter from the entertainment website “TMZ”, who asked the musician to give his opinion on the fight. "I choose Mark Hunt. He has more heart. I don't know, I like Lesnar too. He's great, but the UFC is a different game now”, said the drummer.

Then, the reporter observed Barker's almost entirely tattooed body and proposed a bet. "Let's make a bet. You have some tattoos on your body, so if Lesnar wins, you get a 'TMZ' tattoo on yourself. If Hunt wins, I will tattoo the Blink 182 logo anywhere on my body, except my face”, proposed the reporter.

Barker initially hesitated and laughed at the proposal, but later accepted. “Okay, done,” replied the musician, who formalized the bet with a handshake recorded by the cameras. However, he later commented: “We don't talk about the size of the tattoo. It could be a tiny 'TMZ' tattoo,” he said, hearing the reporter's positive response.

Hunt is on a two-fight winning streak in the UFC, with knockouts over Antonio Pezão e Frank mir. Lesnar hasn't fought since the end of 2011, when he ended up losing to alistair overeem by technical knockout in the first round.
