Ray J<\/a> is so serious about his upcoming MMA bout with Supa Hot Fire that he’s apparently ready to die in the ring.<\/p>\n

In a livestreamed press conference for the fight in which the audience asked both Ray J and Supa Hot Fire questions ahead of their Saturday (May 23) bout, the singer got emotional when a man asked him if he’s still dying soon \u2014 this in reference to claims Ray J made earlier this year that he almost died<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“You want to see me die, bro?” Ray J asked, prompting the audience member to deny it. Ray J then continued: “That\u2019s why I\u2019m putting it all in the ring. If this n***a can really do it, he\u2019ll kill me in the ring. I\u2019m dying for mine, n***a.”<\/p>\n

Moments later, after thanking Adin Ross for the opportunity to fight at his Brand Risk 14 event in Vegas, Ray J got emotional about the reason he was getting into the ring. “I\u2019m not just fighting for me, I\u2019m fighting for my kids,” he said as his voice trailed off.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the conference, Ray J and Supa Hot Fire nearly came to blows multiple times as the jokes and back-and-forth got pretty tense. A lot of it stemmed from Supa Hot Fire wearing a shirt featuring Kim Kardashian, as well as him bringing up Ray J\u2019s music career.<\/p>\n

At one point, Ray J got out of his seat and stormed over to Supa Hot Fire\u2019s chair but was stopped before he could do any damage.<\/p>\n

The fact that Ray J is even preparing to fight is dangerous for his health, especially since doctors have claimed they\u2019re not sure how much longer he\u2019ll live because of his heart issues. Ray J was reportedly notified that he may need a pacemaker or defibrillator and that he can\u2019t smoke or drink.<\/p>\n

In preparation for his upcoming fight, Ray J said he has trained alongside Rampage Jackson<\/a> and consulted with Chuck Liddell \u2014 seemingly suggesting that his heart issues are over.<\/p>\n
