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.

Not at all, but I think some of the press he gets is because he’s black. Scary giant black dude sells better than scary giant white dude.

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.

I want MMA every night just as bad as you, but if Kimbo is to be the face of mainstream MMA, I don’t think that’s such a good thing. There are about a zillion fighters more deserving and just as marketable. They just need to do some backyard brawls I guess.

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???
