Talk:Mikey Burnett

Don't underestimate this Irish BAD ASS
Mikey Burnett is a 3 time state champion wrestler w/ heavy hands from Tulsa, OK. The home of best wrestlers in the WORLD!

Mikey Burnett, one of the original Lion's Den members, has filed suit in Clark County District Court against TufGuy Productions, Inc. d/b/a Ultimate Fighting Productions, Inc., the company that produces "The Ultimate Fighter" for Spike TV, as well as American International Group, Inc., an accident and health insurance company associated with the TV show.

According to the lawsuit filed on June 9, Burnett claims alleged negligence against the defendants, who "carelessly, recklessly and negligently failed to provide a safe environment for the Ultimate Fighter 4 participants."

Specifically, the 34-year-old Burnett states that he suffered a career-ending spinal injury during the show's tapings.

Burnett served as a competitor on the series' fourth season entitled "The Comeback," where UFC figures of old and not-so-old got a second chance at glory in the Octagon. Burnett's appearance on the show, which aired from August-November 2006, ended years of obscurity the Tulsa, Okla. fighter endured after personal struggles with alcohol abuse, injuries and a horrendous recluse spider bite.

An intriguing character from his 1998 bouts at UFC 16 and 18, Burnett flamed out on the show when he failed to reach the finals. During his tenure inside the ‘TUF' house, the show aired Burnett running into a wall to stave off boredom.

The suit alleges that Burnett has suffered "serious bodily injuries, has endured and continues to endure both physical and mental pain and suffering and has incurred severe medical expenses."

Burnett has also filed grievances with AIG, which allegedly insured Burnett during his time on the series, for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing for failing "to make a reasonable offer and payment in connection" with the policy.

Burnett also claims that AIG has failed to provide him and his attorneys with a true and correct copy of said policy and has failed to properly investigate the extent of his injuries, as well as refused to pay Burnett the value of his uncompensated damages.

Burnett is suing for an amount in excess of $10,000 for each claim, along with damages and attorneys' fees.

Repeated emails and phone calls to both parties' attorneys have yet to be returned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.59.176 (talk) 21:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, I'm not 100% sure how do do edits, but I removed the part about Mikey having a baby with Ryan Shamrock. The source under it MMAMemories appears to be a japanese porn site, but I don't know how to remove the citation.
