Polaris Took Ex-NFL, UFC and Professional Boxing Athletes for a Wild Ride in a UTV
Polaris Took Ex-NFL, UFC and Professional Boxing Athletes for a Wild Ride in a UTV-September 2024

Blue UTV sails through the air in the California desert.

What do you get when you strap a powerful engine to a roll cage, add long-travel suspension and some narrow, knobby tires? Why, friends, you get a really gnarly UTV. That’s effectively what Polaris did when it created its , and to celebrate that, Polaris decided to invite a few athletes to see just what it was capable of at the hands of a two-time Baja 1000 winner. They also filmed the whole thing.

First up is Chad Ochocinco, legendary wide receiver for the Cincinatti Bengals. He also happens to be the only one of our four intrepid athletes who didn’t make a living by getting punched in the face, except for the time that he was on the undercard for the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Logan Paul fight.

Next, we have two-time UFC champ and Rose Namajunas, who appears to be experiencing a moment of pure joy as the UTV sails through the air.

Roy Jones Jr., , admits he has a problem with heights before his rip around the track but seems to manage well.

Lastly, we have ex-UFC punchy man and current contestant Chad “Money” Mendes. Aside from looking like a impersonator, Mendes provides us with our sweariest ride-along yet.

So, what does this series of videos teach us, aside from the fact that people with will say yes to almost anything? It teaches us that ripping around a jump-filled track in the California desert in a 225-horsepower UTV looks fun as hell, and now we kind of want one.

This Fake 1989 Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk Is a Blasphemous Beauty
A 20-year-old marketing student from Mexico who dabbles in car renderings has created an internet sensation. It’s a 1989 Trackhawk; a hot-rodded XJ that never existed, but perhaps should have? You decide. I’ll begin by saying that this young designer, Abimelec Arellano from Hermosillo Sonora, Mexico did a solid...

Is an Add-On Hardtop with Gullwing Doors a Good Idea or a Bad Idea?

This Ferrari-Based One-Off Conciso Gets the Most Out of Being the Bare Minimum
Back in 1993, German designer Bernd Michalak decided to build a one-off Ferrari-based concept to portray an “athletic with not an extra ounce” ideal. Starting with a nice low-mile 328 GTS, the car was stripped down to its most bare component parts. Once the lightweight body was developed, it...
