Re: Kimbo Slice to appear on Ulitimate Fighter
said by GemSnake  :I wouldn't say he's a 'nobody'. He's a street fighter. Just like Tank Abbott. Had he started his UFC run along with Tank, he could've built a name by now. Back then UFC =/= MMA, it is now, though. If you're a not well-rounded MMA fighter you won't get far. Yeah he would have been a legend in the days of Tank, Frye and Kimo but not today when you have to have more than one skillset. |

said by Carnage :Kimbo will never amount to anything. He grabbed attention by beating up nobodies on youtube. Put him in the ring with any half assed MMA fighter.. and he loses fights.. Can't wait to see him get beat up on TUF.. Kimbo is an overhyped NOBODY.. I was listening to an interview with Rich Franklin... the interviewer didn't know much about UFC. He asked Rich about Kimbo and he just laughed and essentially said what you said. |

Exactly
Everybody that knocks on him knows that Kimbo CAN bring something big to the table.
I like Kimbo a lot, and I hope he can make it through. |

I read in some forum that he was knocked out in the first fight but came back as an alternate and made it to the finals?  
Although, didn't they just start filming on June 2nd? It would seem highly implausible that they would have already gone from 16 fighter down to the 2 finalists in just a month.
Kimbo is big, powerful, and quick for his size, at least when compared to the competition he most likely would be facing. Even with just his raw boxing and wrestling skills, he does possess the tools to take anyone out, even if it is just a fluke. If someone walks into a fight against a heavy puncher like Kimbo, there is always a chance for an upset, especially if the fighter sees Kimbo as a joke with little or no skills. |

Considering it was a leak, and taken down off youtube, not much else I can do for you. 'Till then I'll stick with "apparently". |

I actually enjoyed the weigh ins almost as much as the fights. There was lots of electricity in the air so to speak. The UFC really does their stuff up right. |

Stalking ? Nah, not my thing, meng.
When things are rollin' right a long.....yeah, i have a lot of free time on my hands.
We just picked up some tickets for UFC 104. It'll be here at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The main event will be Lyoto Machida vs Shogun Rua. Machida is pretty impressive. I have a feeling that he'll be the champion of his division for a long time.
As for myself, i'm a big Dan Henderson fan and have been following him since the old "Pride" days..:+) |

said by Loco :Then what happened to the Kimbo avatar that you used to have, meng ? It got lost with the 14 second KO, eh ? ..LMAO ! Not that i really care which avatar you use on this site, but you sure switched pretty quick to BJ when he won his UFC belt. .....& now you even wanna drive up to Philthadelphia to watch him fight Kenny Florian..Bwahahahaha !!! Damn what are you a stalker? I went to the last UFC on the East Coast in Atlanta. I liked it and wanted to go back when they came back to the East Coast. It just so happens Penn and Florian are fighting. Forrest Griffin is fighting Anderson Silva too.
Looks like you go too much time on your hands mang  |

said by Loco :said by pro7070 :said by HiVolt :Dana White acts like a punk most of the time, at least in front of the camera. I don't know him otherwise of course, but he comes off as an arrogant prick, know-it-all and just a genuine asshat. When is Kimbo supposed to appear on UF? Next season, they are taping now. You even have studio access too ? Awesome, meng ! Here you go. No I am not privy to any information the rest of you aren't.

Dana White is there to make money.. is he a douchebag, sometimes but through clever marketing he has taken the UFC to a level unheard of. There is no lack of fighters wanting into the UFC, sure some are gonna leave... it's like that in all businesses. You goto ANY business with 350 employees, a couple of hundred them being fighters with big ass ego's and of course not everything is going to be rosey.
I'm disappointed Dana brought on Kimbo.. but it's not surprising as it's publicity for season 10. Between Kimbo and the coaches bad blood, it really sets the stage for a very interesting season. I just hope we have no drama queens like Junie Browning in the house. |

I can compare Kimbo Slice to Bob Sapp who just lost to another WWE turn Pro fighter Bob Lashley. |

said by pro7070 :said by Loco :said by pro7070 :I was a big fan of Kimbo's when he made the move to MMA. He dedicated himself to it and trained under one if the best in Bas Rutten for over 2 years. I guess he still trains there after the pitiful fight agianst Seth Petruzelli and implosion of elite XC. Translation : He only liked Kimbo when he was undefeated. Now pro7070 is a big fan of BJ Penn. And thats only because BJ Penn has a UFC championship belt.. pffft ! Huh? Maybe you can't comprehend English very well. See my above statement. "I'm a Kimbo fan. I hope he does well. But I also see the underlying reasons why this is happening after all white has said. White is supposedly a good boxer and trained to fight Tito Ortiz in a straight boxing match that fell through. He should put his money where his mouth is and box Kimbo if he's (Kimbo) is such a bum." Transalation: I LIKE KIMBO. I AM A KIMBO FAN. Dana White has talked trash about Kimbo the entire time. Until, coincidently, they (UFC) can make money and publicity off him. Dana White is the biggest hippocrite in the sport. Then what happened to the Kimbo avatar that you used to have, meng ? It got lost with the 14 second KO, eh ? ..LMAO !
Not that i really care which avatar you use on this site, but you sure switched pretty quick to BJ when he won his UFC belt.
