The feud between Canseco and the Barstool Sports intern began after the former baseball star trashed former teammate Alex Rodriguez during a Barstool Sports podcast. The fight was put together after that, and it headlined the latest Rough N’ Rowdy pay-per-view card.
According to its own description of itself via the official website, “Rough N’ Rowdy Brawl is amateur fighters with no defense throwing haymakers. It’s the funniest most action-packed night you’ll ever have.”

Barstool’s Jared Carrabis claimed Canseco “took a dive” in the fight, which means he believes the ex-MLB star quit without really being hurt.

Famed oddsmakers Joey Oddessa claimed he saw enough in the 10-second drubbing to make ex-UFC star Ben Askren the heavy favorite to box Canseco’s ears off if the ex-MLB player and wrestler ever climb inside the ropes for a fistfight.
Pretty certain @BenAskren would box Jose Canseco's ears off.. #roughnrowdy
