I beg to differ on a few points. One was that Kimbo started to believe the hype EliteXC was pushing out to the media. There are videos on You Tube that show Slice calling out Chuck Liddell. There are videos out there of slice claiming to be unbeatable and stating that he was tired of hearing about Brock Lesnar being the future of MMA. He even went so far in the video to call Lesnar a joke and say that he was the future of MMA. If that is not Slice making claims to MMA dominance.

Stop Hating on Kimbo and Elite XC.

Sure they don’t compare to UFC and we all know that. And Kimbo is not up there either with real MMA Heavyweights or even middleweights.

But ALL YOU GUYS can’t deny that you will WATCH the next Elite XC fight on CBS with Kimbo.

The last CBS airing grossed higher viewers compared to their last 2.

All I know, EVERYBODY at work after that weekend was talking about HOW KIMBO GOT KOd.

But yet, NOBODY(Non MMA fans; Normal People) knows at work that Chuck Liddel got KOd by Rashad Evans.

That’s what ELite XC and Kimbo did.

It made EVERYBODY (not just the Die Hard MMA fans) know about MMA.

I don’t need to direct any hate toward Kimbo but how is it wrong to say that he does not belong in MMA? He does not belong in the spot light, on EXC, or even as a mentionable as a MMA fighter. When a man goes 0-4 against low level opponents, nobody wants to pay to watch him fight. When a man beats old timers and hand fed cans only to lose to legitmate low level opponents (who are a weight class below them) nobody should have to pay to see them fight either. So Kimbo made his money while he could, does that change the fact that he knew he was beating nobodies and that given a true opponent he’d lose? does that change the fact that Kimbo knew when he challenged Chuck that they would never fight? Does it matter that Kimbo knows he shouldn’t be on the main stage but does it anyway to make his money? To Adam Morgan it does not, to me it does. Would you be happy if during a fire I showed up and claimed I was a fireman? No you would not, its fraud. Maybe if I saved your cat from a burning building you wouldn’t care but thats the equivilant of if Kimbo had put on realistic and exciting fights, he didn’t so he was a fraud. Sure if I was in Kimbo’s position I’d do the same thing, make a boat load of money. But in doing this I would expect Kimbo to do the same thing as me if he were in my position, Kimbo did not come off as a good ambassador to our sport so I think I’m justified in my above claims.

Sam, if kimbo did say all them things than your right.But i didn’t here anything about him saying he was the baddest fighter ever.Not saying he didn’t,but from what i saw he’s been relativley modest.Regardless of what was said though elite the one who propelled him to the status of the face of mma.That all that i’m saying.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR KIMBO. I quote Dana White in saying “KIMBO SLICE SUCKS”. Kimbo said this and said that, and he was the baddest fighter alive, so don’t make it look like Elite XC’s falt cause its not. Kimbo made the mistake of saying all the crap that he did and was set up to fight washed up fighters. He din’t get what he wanted which was a RETIRED FIGHTER to fight, instead he fought someone THAT NEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. Quite making excuses for the man, he wanted his name all over now he does but its not the tune that he nore his YOUTUBE fans wanted, which is singing FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD, IM BAD CAUSE IF FIGHT WASHED UP OLD MEN HAHAHA.

I think that the Kimbo Slice loss was just that…a loss. He is a figher and anyone who is a true fighter can tell u that losing is all part of the game(not the best part). So for everybody being on his back about the loss and the so called “set-up fights” take another look at it. He is a internet champion of street fighting and yes there is a big spotlight on him when he stepped into the cage, but remember he is just a rookie in this MMA fighting so in my mind he is just going through the roughness of not having the experience in the cage. I think that he is going to cause big problems for the whole heavyweight division in a few years when he becomes more rounded in this sport. His biggest test haves just arrived, how he bounces back from this loss will tell us everything about Kimbo Slice! Thoughts of Blake Martin

Agreed. Kimbo is great for the sport either way though. He brings in farweather fans that would have never watched MMA normally and he teaches them (by his fight style vs the other fights) that MMA requires tons of preparation, talent, training.. and other people are more skilled at it.

Look at Gina Carano, she is a wicked MMA fighter compared to Kimbo.

After everything is said and done i hope kimbo rebounds,and does well.It’s not his fault it’s elites fault.But everybody knows that already.At least whoever is reading this does.And thats the unfortunate thing.

You know what I’m getting a little tired of? The ANTI-Kimbo hype train.I barely even like the guy but because I am reasonable about his career and don’t have an intense personal hatred of him lately I end up defending the guy. Yeah, he’s nowhere near the fighter EliteXC built him up to be. He’s still a goddamn person!
