Dan Bilzerian \u2013 a musclebound, bearded playboy who seems to spend most of his time in luxury cars surrounded by half-naked women \u2013 is interested in participating in an MMA fight. The so-called ‘King of Instagram,’ who is also a star poker player and multi-millionaire, discussed this desire on a recent episode of MMA Junkie Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The topic came up when Bilzerian was asked what goals remain for his action-packed life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThailand\u2019s on there,” the social media star said. “I want to go surfing in Fiji. I want to go heli-skiing in Alaska. I have wanted to do [an MMA fight]. I\u2019ll be 37 this year, so I better do it pretty (expletive) soon if I want to do it. It\u2019s tough nowadays because these (expletive) kids are training from the time they\u2019re 6 or 8 \u2013\u00a0by the time they get in there, they\u2019re so well-versed.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given that Bilzerian is 36 years old, and that he’s experienced multiple heart attacks in the past, this\u00a0initially seems like a pretty risky idea. He does, however, train regularly at Xtreme Couture, and as one look at his Instagram reveals, keeps himself in tremendous shape.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Bilzerian explained that he’s not interested in half-assing any foray into the world of MMA. If he signs on for a fight, he plans to take the commitment seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to compete, but I\u2019ve got to do a real camp,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to go in there and (expletive) half-ass it. I\u2019ve never half-assed anything in my life, so if I\u2019m going to do it, I really want to do it. Right now, I\u2019ve actually been taking a little bit of time off from the partying and the crazy (expletive). So it wouldn\u2019t be bad.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you think The King of Instagram Dan Bilzerian would do in a MMA fight? Who do you think he should he fight? We hear CM Punk is looking for an opponent<\/a>…<\/p>\n
