How else would you pronounce it? I like how Kimbo said Thompson was great in PANCRASE. Kornheiser was’nt sure how to pronounce Shamrock! How else would you pronounce it?

Fact of the matter is: the mainstream fan LOVES Kimbo. And I'd say the percentage of racists in that group would be much higher than the percentage in the hardcore MMA fan group. I don't like Kimbo because I think he's being touted as a good fighter when he's not. He's mediocre but his work ethic is nothing to sneeze at. I guess I would say I'm annoyed that CBS is telecasting a KOTC-level fighter instead of a top ten MMArtist. But hey, he sells tickets and he's gotta get his bread so I won't hate. Shit, the 10/4 card is free and has Arlovski, Ninja Rua, and and Jake Shields. That's good enough for me.

He seems as down to earth and humble as most other fighters and a lot moreso than some. I have no issues with him personally. My problem is with promoters and sports media.

Kimbo deserves all the press he is getting. Not because he is the best fighter (I think Frank Mir would beat him fairly easy) but because someone needs to take this sport even more MAINSTREAM. I want MMA everynight…. even if the fights are nobodies or never weres.

Taking this sport serouisly come on. If he wants me to take me serious then fight someone to prove your serious. I mean come on Tompson, Tank, and now Ken....Really? I mean all we are doing at this point is insulting the true fighters. I mean for god sake Brett Rogers beat Thompson then Thompson gets to fight Kimbo, then Brett calls him out at the post fight interveiw and tells him hes grabage....and still Kimbo wont take the fight. And i love Bas but all Bas see's in Kimbo is a meal ticket. Lets see what happens the first time he fights a fighter that is some what decent and not over the hill. Then i want to see where all these Kimbo fans go.........running for the hills, thats where. PS. Fights every day......HDNET TV comeon forgetaboutit What are we kidding ourselvels now???

You can't hate a man cause he actually found a way to make money and do something he actually loves(legally). Hes taking this sport serious and being a true athlete working with bas trying to learn this game. what you jealous cause you still broke and you couldnt come up with a plan to get rich. You are what we call "HATER". grow up and respect the game and how its played. And Tony, fights everyday sounds gggggreat to me! agree tony dont listen to moses. and moses maybe him being black and a former streetfighter definitely do make him a target, ever thought of that?

If they educated themselves on the sport they're discussing it might make them seem, almost, professional.

Why is it that someone always has to bring race into everything. I mean to say that we dont like him cause hes black....really get a life. How about we dont like him because true MMA fans have been here and fought to get the blood sport image out of peoples mind, and all he does is remind themof that. May be its beacuse he is garbage in a cage. Maybe its because hes the biggest joke in MMA. Maybe its because he need to go back to street fighting. People say that hes one of the biggest names in the sport, maybe so but its because he's in the right place at the right time. We have a genration of people that want to see people get hurt who want to watch violence no matter who gets hurt. And thats what Kimbo repersents. Not the sport which is a true art form that we dedicate our lives and and hearts to. And to see this guy get the glory for it come on. Randy Coture, Jeremy Horn, Chuck Liddle, hell even Ken Shamrock these are the guys that should be getting the fame and that the world of MMA should be behind they've been there and made this sport what it is and now a guy like Kimbo gets to come by and rape it for all its worth.

I remember seeing him on "Inside MMA" a few months back promoting his Tank Abbott fight and he could barely put a comprehensible sentence together. Really! I'm not saying he's a great speaker now, but he's definitely gotten better since then. And he was actually a little funny during this interview.
