Report Petition

 This petition is designed to bring one of the most exciting and unique Mixed Martial Artists the world has ever seen back to the octogon and international television. Back in UFC 1, we got our first glimpses at several rising stars: Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, and of course, Art Jimmerson. Art's style was flashy and bold, his technique was elegant and bold, and his choice of ring attire was unique and bold. When he entered the cage wearing a single boxing glove, everyone in the arena knew they were in for a show. Unfortunately, as great as he performed, he suffered a hard fought submission loss to eventual UFC champion Royce Gracie (due to Royce's legendary "Ghost Choke"). Great artists take defeat hard and sadly Art Jimmerson was no exception. He retired from the sport and nevered returned.

But the fans have not forgoten!

The aim of this petition is to implore Zuffa and Dana White to bring back Art Jimmerson by Any means neccesary. However much you have to pay him will be a pittance compared to the joy he will bring your loyal fans. We also hope to presuade Art to come out of retirement for at least one "special rules" match where he will be permitted to use his trademark "single-boxingglove" technique. Possible opponents are:

Fedor Emelianenko
Butterbean
Royce Gracie (REMATCH???!!!)

You can see your fans are hungry. Please Art, don't leave them unfulfiled. Grace us with your talents one last time. Do it for me. Do it for all your fans. Do it for America.
