Re: Kimbo Slice to appear on Ulitimate Fighter
Seth Petruzelli went 0-2 in the UFC and knocked Kimbo out in 14 secs.
Dana White has routinely dismissed Kimbo as a lowly street fighter who would get killed in the UFC. If the point of the show is to find the next UFC level talent then why invite someone you have already dismissed publically as not good enough? It is just a publicity stunt to draw in viewers and make the egomaniac White look like a guru. If Kimbo wins somehow it would make white look like an ass and that won't fly. This whole thing is to make Kimbo look like an ass and White look good. Just wait til they get done with the editing.

"Is Dana white a hypocrite...."
""What has the guy done to deserve to be in the UFC? Nothing. I don’t consider him a real athlete or anything. He won’t win The Ultimate Fighter. The offer is out there if he wants to take it and he won’t win it. I might [put a heavyweight show together just for him]."
Two weeks later...
""I don't know if there's anybody I've talked more smack about. I don't know how he's going to do. I gotta respect that (he's coming on the show). We're gonna find out this season if he's for real or not.....I got nothing but respect for him" HYPOCRITE

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. |
