MEAN and moody Maurice Smith has arrived in Bahrain ... and the tough contenders battling it out in the coming Raw Power weekend are lucky he is not stepping into the ring.
The legendary American UFC and Pride fighter is a celebrity guest helping to promote the caged, no holds-barred, battle of the brawn.
The fighters will be using a combination of mixed martial arts - a combat sport that mixes techniques from wrestling, boxing and Jui-Jitsu at the Bahrain International Exhibition & Convention Centre over three days starting tomorrow.
"I am very excited this is happening in Bahrain. We have big plans for the sport and in the future aim to help local fighters showcase their talents. This is going to be an awesome experience."
And looking at him, who would argue?
