So, for 'ol times sake, I was looking through Yelp reviews and forum posts re: Johny Hendricks' failed "Bigg Riggs' Steakhouse" venture.

So I thought: which MMA fighters could actually pull off owning a restaurant, and what would they sell? I'll start:

I actually think Chad Mendes could potentially do all right with a BBQ place if it's something he really wanted to do. Dude's meals that he posts look awesome, and he has experience hunting.

Also, Michael Bisping has shown he can make a mean dinner. I know cooking for a family and owning a restaurant are two different things, but this is all hypothetical anyway. :)

Chad Mendes for sure, 90% of his Instagram is his hunting accomplishments. Jim Miller hunts too and I like his fighting spirit so I wouldn't mind eating a steak with him in his restaurant.

I think Tim Kennedy could be successful at one-few.

Daniel Cormier could without a doubt open a fried chicken chain, although he needs to just get a 30 store franchise of Popeye's chicken.
He'd be super successful.

Cowboy Cerrone should do one, have have a patented Cowboy Wild Rice Cerrone with chunks walla walla onions and steak.

Roy Nelson, does he have a place called "Big Country" yet?
Well if not, he should.

I’d go to DC’s restaurant, it would be within spitting distance of me. Only had Popeyes once though and it was bobbins

Who would be the most likely to open a boiled steak restaurant?

"First we invert your steak through our delicate process, then we triangle tip it, then give it a few belts for tenderization.
Then we roll with them for awhile to stretch the loins.
Then we hip toss it into a pot and boil the bloody out of it"

He would only open either a fried chicken restaurant or a “gentlemen’s” club that serves “lunch” and “dinner” and oh yeah, there are some naked girls lap dancing on you “by accident”

You need to go in for Masterchef!

(I say, when I actually got a call to try out for it in NY when I lived in VA) I could have embarrassed myself on national TV for everyone to see.

Thankfully only one person and Secret Santa people know my full name. It would have gone down in embarrassing TV history.

Johny's career can be neatly divided into two parts: "before he opened a 'steakhouse' in a strip mall that served bagged salad" and "after he opened a 'steakhouse' in a strip mall that served bagged salad"

Done. Made my mind up. I LOVE sushi/sashimi anything Japanese cuisine wise so Sakuraba gets my vote.
