joe are you on crack? pulling out the race card over this? telling people who say Kimbo is a bum that they have no clue what they are talking about? WTF? Kimbo got dropped by a half-jab, that was completely telegraphed!!! Whats even worse is the fact that the jab was thrown off of Seth’s back foot while his front foot was in the air!!!!!!! How long did you think it would take before someone dropped Kimbo with his fighting style like that? All he does is bum rush and throw power punches. He’s a circus sideshow attraction that is only around because the company is clutching at straws trying to appeal to the “casual” mixed martial arts viewer. Hes a disgrace to the business and he should stick to fighting homeless guys on the streets for ham sandwiches!!! Kimbo being black has nothing to do with him sucking…he does that on his abilities(or lack thereof). Please understand what you are talking about before you open your mouth!!

“but I guess that makes you a tough call when all call others names.”
“You guys are as big a joke as Kimbo is.”
So the 50 year old wants to be tough eh? Eat your words.

Hey Big poppa.. I agree with you on the heaveyweight division, the UFC is not as strong with its stable of fighters in that division. But they pretty much dominate all the other weight classes, wouldn’t you say ?

I do think the UFC has one of the best up and coming heaveyweights in Cain Velazquez, the guy is GOOD.

As much as I think you may hate this comment, to alot of people the UFC and MMA are one in the same. I have said MMA to guys and they say what is that, when I explain it they say, or you mean Ultimate Fighting. LOL

Forst pussies and now calling me an IDIOT ?? Why the names guys, I am just stating what I think, my opinion, thats all. That doesn’t make me an idot, far from it.

Kimbo got over a 1/2 million dollars for that fight, thats a crime !! All the people who paid to watch the fight and the advertisers that sponsored it should sue.

I’m a sad example of a 50 year old, why is that ? Because I state my opinion ?

Grow up, this is a forum where people state what they think and share what they think, to come out here and call people pussies, idiots or UFC nazi’s is childish, very immature. You all can say what you think without the name calling but I guess that makes you a tough call when all call others names. I guess you showed me a thing or two. You guys are as big a joke as Kimbo is.

Tim, you’re an idiot.

“people keep talking shit about kimbo- a single father of like 151 kids. he’s trying to make a living to support his family so ease up off him. not only that, but these people saying he cant take a punch? how about u go fight him u pussies. staying behind a screen and talking like that is simple since you dont even train. Anyone can get dropped as long as they get hit in the right spot. So for the haters who know nothing, go back to eating chips on your couch or start getting some education on MMA.”

Joe pretty much nailed it. You’re a sad example for a 50 year old. And surely you can submit him if you’re “MMA skills” are so superior to his.

First off I would like to respond to the UFC nazis out there, people like AJ. UFC is a company not another way of saying Mixed Martial Arts. MMA fighters are pretty much free to go to what ever company they want to. Granted the UFC is a house-hold name, because, (as much of a toolbag Dana White is) he is a good bussiness man. He knows who would draw a crowd without belittling the sport. Also, AJ your comment about making more money at UFC is bullshit Dana has his few ass buddies like Chuck Liddell and Matt Hughes that he lets do some marketing, but other than that when a fighter signs to UFC they get paid the least out of every orginazation out there and sign over their own marketing rights. So, if the fighters get paid less why would they go to UFC?, one might ask. Well as mentioned earlier, UFC is a house-hold name. Unless you are an MMA fan you would have no Idea about some of the other orginazations. So therefor sign with the most known one, TO GET KNOWN AS A FIGHTER. Look at any MMA website or mag and see who the top ten rankings are for heavyweights, I just looked on this one and at least 6 out of 10 (that’s the majority if you did not know) are not with the UFC. The best fighters are spread out dude you need to look around you, see those six walls that’s what we can a box, you need to come out every once in a while. Also just a question back in the day if you watched Wrestling if you were a Hogan fan did you not watch him when he went to WCW, or If Tyson fights were one HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax would you only watch the ones on HBO, no you would watch, because you were a fan. Hopefully that last question will sink into some of the UFC nazi’s heads. UFC is a company not the sport alone. Now as far as the whole Elite xc and Kimbo thing goes, My thoughts are this: Shaw saw $$$$$$$ with marketing(exploiting) Kimbo, and Kimbo saw $$$$$$$$$$ for doing what he loves to do. Honestly I think Kimbo is not ready for the sport yet, but he is getting old and not every one can be Randy Couture. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Kimbo, as mentioned on this site. Who doesn’t want to see him in a comeback fight. Also I just have to mention I can’t wait for the Gina vs Cyborg fight. Finally (no offence to anyone) The cheerleader will beat up the bulldyke.

Robert.. I almost forgot to respond to my comment about Kimbo’s kids. That was a response to Joe who said that Kimbo has like 151 kids.

Do read all the post or just pick and chose ?

Hey Robert…. Nice try guy, my wife is African America and just laughed when I told her what you said.

I put Houston Alexander in my post because Sam also had an article on why its too early to give up on Houston Alexander that I had numerous responses to.

I love MMA and train even at my age, so when I see guys passed off as “MMA fighters” that really have no MMA skills, I take offense to that.

Kimbo (that make ya feel better) is a product of CBS and EliteXC, its not his fault but that doesn’t change the fact that he has no MMA skils..

Tim besides you’re annoying overuse of the stupid nickname of KimBLOW over and over again i think maybe you have a problem with black people why else are you throwing Houston Alexander in this or bringing up Kimbo’s children.

Hey Joe, are you kidding me, If I wasn’t 50 years old and weighing in at 165 LBS I would fight that guy. Before you spew venom towards those that trash KimBLOW, you better understand what your are talking about. Whether you like it or not, KimBLOW has NO, NONE, ZERO, MMA skills. He is a brawler and nothing more. Who cares if Petruzelli was a late add, KimBLOW outweighed him by 30 lbs and KimBLOW did what he would’ve done no matter who was across the cage from him. Charge and throw haymakers. I guess that qualifies him as an MMA sensation. He is bad for the sport, period. He is what the UFC use to be, a brawler.

Guys like KimBLOW and Houston Alexander need to get some skills before they should be recognized and passed off as MMA fighters.

If I wanted to watch a brawler who just wants to throw punches I would watch boxing.

As for his 151 kids, he should learn how to slip a rubber on, they work.
