Derek Carr is tired of the talking heads, and apparently he’s decided to take matters into his own hands.
The Oakland Raiders quarterback has called on UFC president Dana White to set up a fight with ESPN’s Max Kellerman and maybe even his “First Take” co-host Stephen A. Smith, as well.
@ufc @danawhite hey how do I challenge a couple of these clowns on tv to a fight? I think we should start a business together. Where pro athletes can challenge some of these people to an octagon fight until they give us an answer…. You don’t know me… stop lying.

Smith and Kellerman have been critical of the three-time Pro-Bowl selection on their show, and it appears it has struck a nerve with Carr. Just in case this hypothetical fight happens between the signal-caller and television personalities, Bovada has released odds for both competitors.
Raiders’ QB @derekcarrqb has asked for a UFC fight with @stephenasmith. Bovada released odds on a potential Stephen A. Smith vs. Derek Carr fight.
Stephen A. Smith -130
Derek Carr -110
So there’s that…..

While Bovada is favoring Carr in this bout, the odds are much closer than probably expected.
