It looks like a Thailand province developed a rather ingenious way to deal with criminals:
Songkran, or the Thai New Year, is held annually between April 13-15. It is also known as the water-throwing festival because the tradition of washing Buddhist statues for good fortune has evolved into a tradition of throwing water on other people as well. In other words, it’s like a giant free-for-all water fight throughout the country!
Naturally, by human nature not all of the citizens are well-behaved, and the festival always leads to some fights and drunken brawls between irresponsible revelers. This year, however, it looks like the ingenious idea of one politician in Buriram City may stop local gang members from stirring up more trouble at future festivals…and it might just shock you.
Buriram City is located in the eponymous northeast province of Thailand. While the local residents look forward to the New Year’s festival as a chance to cool down during the hottest month of the year, one local politician was fed up by the inevitable destruction caused by young gang members year after year. So he gave them an ultimatum: at the opening ceremony of the event, he declared, “This time, whoever disrupts the festival will be forced to fight three rounds with a pro Muay Thai fighter.” .....
How did it turn out? Watch the videos.

He sounds like a racist to me. Probably a homophobe too, but definitely a racist. (And if you're reading this, you're a racist.)
I think it's a great idea. Bring down some MMA badasses. I seriously doubt you could get any of JPD to step in the ring with the MMA dudes though.
I nominate Claiborne Frazier for the opening bout. The match will be far too short to qualify for the main event.
OR, be forced to sit in a 3 hour seminar with Kenuff Stokes while he lectures on the History of Jackson, Miss.
