He could have taken the high road and made Chuck look like an idiot pretty fast. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s look at the timeline of events here.

Commercials on CBS; Hero's of MMA (shows Kimbo), Champions of MMA (shows Shamrock and Kimbo) which is false advertisement....everytime he is announced he's the "internet streetfighting icon/legend"...every on camera appearance he makes he flashes the 4th street brothers gang sign...He talks about killing people, etc...He's in the main event as a 2-0 against cans fighter, fighting basically another can, when the card has a title fight. What kinda sense does that make??? Plus how can a 2-0 fighter who hasn't fought anyone legit be the face of MMA? Mark my words, the closer May 31st gets the worse the media coverage will be, Gary Shaw and his use of Kimbo Slice could easily set this great sport back 5-10 years... Kimbo in MMA training with Bas, thats fine, even him fighting no-names or washed up fighters or guys with glass jaws, thats fine, but then he should be the first or second Televised fight (really on the undercard but obviously that wouldn't make sense either)...and don't let him flash 4th street brothers gang signs everytime he's on camera, don't imply he's some kinda champion or hero of MMA, or even a future champion.... I could write a book on more problems, and maybe I was repeating some things, but you asked, I answered... and #15 and maybe even for Morgan again, I personally like the sport of MMA, not hype or fabricated superstars, so maybe thats why I judge this draft a littler different, I would want guys like Anderson Silva, Jacare and Maia....The GSP's, BJ Penn, Diaz brothers, JZ Calvan, Aoki, Fitch, Stann, Hazelett, Condit, Goulet (late rounds), Mousasi, Marcus Davis, Tamura, Semmy, Gono, Hellboy, many others.... I know most of those guys have been picked but just off the top of my head those are the type of fighters I personally like to watch, not overhyped, gang sign flashing, with fanboys hangin off his nuts, CLOWNS like Kimbo Slice...

I'm just kind of ticked off that Elite XC tries to promote him as a legitimate MMA fighter. All my hate goes towards the promoter. I mean, sure, it's their job to hype him up and make some money. But, in reality, like Nick says, he's a joke, and a bad one. He's headlining events and he's not even fighting legitimate opponents. I don't think he should be fighting Nog or Fedor. Or even Gonzaga or Werdum. But, he should be facing someone like Carmelo Marerra, or even Justin McCully. I don’t hate Kimbo, I think he’s pretty cool really.

Kimbo has to fight someone real before the rest of us buy what he is trying to sell. In the meanwhile, he is a joke to me, and a bad joke at that.

A perfect nickname for his nickname, even though I guess he's already Street Certified, I think clown makes more sense...

Nick and Nate will fill seats and will provide for exciting fights every fight. I'm really liking Huck's pick of Thiago Silva. The man is an animal. There's one fighter that hasn't been picked yet, he suffered a loss recently, but is one of the best in his weight class, a true up and comer with unbelievable potential, that hasn't been picked yet. I hope someone nabs him next round. Otherwise, I'm going to throw his name out there, and you guys will all be saying; "DAMN! Why didn't I pick him?!" Finally the Diaz boys go.
