Gene Chizik: "If you go mano y mano - man on man -"

Mano y Mano comes from knife fights where the opponents hands were bound together with a leather strap.

Seen West Side Story?

Doesn't the story go that Cassius Clay killed a fellow who did not like his abolitionist politics in just such a duel at Russell Cave? He was apparently quite good with a Bowie knife. Am I imagining this?

I also made that shit up.
Well, there is a knife fight... but come to think of it, I don't recall them being lashed together at the wrist. Too bad. That would be a nice touch.

Wait... you mean you're BS'ing the entire explanation?
