Kimbo was the head bouncer for Reality Kings–his job sounded a lot more fun than checking tire pressure.

Anyhow, I think the point to the rebuttal was that Brett Rogers doesn’t look all that impressive anyways.

That's what they should have done. I think that EliteXC should have put Rogers on this upcoming CBS show and hype up the Kimbo fight on CBS, and set it up for it’s 1st PPV.

The truth is that Rogers working for Sam's club in the tire dept is hardly something to put down. Are you saying that it is wrong to be a regular "Working Joe" rather than some dunce known for being a bodyguard for porn stars and fighting for a few hundred bucks in backyard "youtube" matches? I don't think so. As for Rogers, lugging around the heavy rubber is a great way for building true core strength, and he did it while earning an honest paycheck. Chuck Liddell does much that same thing when he trains out of "The Pit". Hardly a bad thing, if you ask me, in relation to training.

Rogers wants to prove that Kimbo isn't worth the hype. I thought that much was obvious. "nobody is watching Elite XC to see Brett Rogers(well maybe short of that stupid haircut) they want to watch Kimbo.. love him or hate him he puts asses in seats…." And why is that? Because he built a reputation as some unstoppable bare knuckle fighter. He's being groomed and fed easy opponents so far. Let's see him fight some real competition. “Besides if Rogers has such a high opinion of himself, why isn’t he calling out someone like Bigfoot?”

Who cares Kimbo will still draw huge ratings for the october CBS show.

I will never being a fan of a guy who talks smack BEFORE he accomplishes anything. kimbo although a neophyte in the MMA game has already accomplished something........star power. Regardless of why he has, it is nonetheless the truth. No one know who Brett rogers is, and there fore no one would watch that fight right now. The CBS show is about attracting NEW fans, and Shamrock is a name the casual fan knows. Let Rogers get more exposure, and beat some higher levels of competition, and then maybe he can complain. Besides if Rogers has such a high opinion of himself, why isn't he calling out someone like Bigfoot? Talking trash about a guy with 3 fights on his record doesn't garner much respect in my book.

Rogers TKO'd his guy Jon Murphy in dominating fashion in sixty seconds flat. Kimbo has charisma, great, but he's also an idiot (see: calling out Chuck Liddell and telling him to watch his back) and lets idiots speak for him ("Icey Mike"? I mean, REALLY?). I'm more enamoured with Rogers' image as a hard-working family man than the YouTube can fighter extroadinaire Fergusson. “Kimbo puts asses in seats and thats saying more than Brett Rogers, who isn’t charismatic in the slightest way”

On one hand, the over-hyping and mythologizing of Kimbo Slice by EliteXC/Bas Rutten has grated on my nerves for a long time now. They will parade the man about as if he's the next coming of Fedor, but when faced with any criticism or request that he faces respectable competition, they inevitably respond with, "Well, he's only had two professional fights..." Then stop promoting him as something he's not. I wonder if Kimbo realizes that that first time he loses to one of these hand-picked cans that his manager and promoter digs up, his castle of cards is going to be blown away in the wind. EliteXC will move on to its next short-term cashcow, his entourage of professional ass-kissers will find another unemployment line to leech off of, and he's going to be stuck with the fallout of his so-called career. Then again, that's what you get when build a career on hype rather than accomplishments: reality eventually comes knocking. You know, I have mixed feelings about all of this.

I like some good trash talking as much as the next guy but Brett's approach seems a little too more like wrasslin', he just needs some makeup and more screaming. Everyone and their dog has slammed Kimbo for one reason for another trying to make a name for themselves in the process, and to be honest it's getting old. Blame EliteXC for hyping him, it's not Kimbo's fault they're pushing him, and what fighter wouldn't want to have that force behind them. Everyone has been hoping they're going to feed Kimbo to the wolves, but thats idiotic from not only a managerial standpoint, but as a promotional one as well. Every big fighter out there started somewhere, let the guy have a half dozen fights and then everyone can talk all the shit they want. Kimbo puts asses in seats and thats saying more than Brett Rogers, who isn't charismatic in the slightest way--he came off as nothing more than a schmuck in his post fight interview ("i doos work!"). And in the fight BUSINESS bottom line it's asses in seats that matter and nothing else. Anyone get the feeling that Brett Rogers is trying a little too hard to get his name out there?
