Yes, for a charity boxing match in which Jose was paid 5000$... but the bout didn't even happen because when Ozzie Canseco walked-in to the ring (super late, by the way), several onlookers pointed out that he didn't have Jose's tattoos, so beer cans started flying toward the twin who had to be evacuated by the cops. Ozzie didn't even bother to get fake tattoos, and José just had a couple of smallish tats on his biceps, nothing that a body-artist couldn't easily replicate.

And it was the first time i actually respected MMA (ironically, i know). As i couldn't get it out of my head that Minowaman beat Hong Man Choi, then took the whole thing. It was running on an old school janky channel 600 level tv box my dad had where old pay per views would run, but occasionally they'd put up boxing and mma fights a few months after the event. so i didn't watch it live or anything, but it was so g'damn epic i stayed there by myself and watched the whole thing while drinkin my dad's beer. hahaha.
