I am going to go out on a limb and say Kimbo gets a contract in the UFC. Not as the TUF Champ, but kinda how George Roop and Dave Kaplan got their contacts. He will fight on the finale main card for sure though!

Kimbo is an MMA cash crop. And I’m 100% sure that he has been working on his ground game and his whole game as a mixed martial artist. He’s had about a year to up his game since the fold of the EliteXC. Granted, that is not a heck of a lot of time to up your game, but he could be taking the takedown defense, stand-and-bang route and only some ground escapes. i.e. Chuck Liddell and Thiago Alves.

Put kimbo in the ring with Brock and Brock will literally make him look like a bitch. If anybody watched that fight on the internet where Kimbo was getting his ass kicked by this cop who agreed to fight him in this little gym. The cop just got in close and literally handled him the whole fight. Kimbo can’t hang with the likes of the UFC.

I want to see a Wes Sims / Kimbo Slice fight more than anything this season. I haven’t been this anxious to see a season of TUF since the third season.

While Bob Sapp is not a world class fighter, at 67 pounds heavier than Bobby Lashley, he certainly presented an opportunity for Lashley to demonstrate serious intent in getting into the ring with a real monster. Lashley handled the challenge well, applying the GnP to force the big man to quit. Have to imagine, as DPK commented, that UFC and Strikeforce have to be considering Lashley as a legit prospect, and one whose path is likely better served outside a format like TUF.

Kimbo will get a chance to prove whether the Petrucelli knockout was a fluke or if he does have the proverbial glass jaw. I do respect his decision to respond to Dana White’s challenge, and think TUF 10 The Heavyweights has every chance of being the best recent incarnation of the reality series.

There are only 3 guys out there who would make this season more interesting
1. Bobby Lashley – obviously his potential and WWE following would add to this season, his management can take some easier fights and make more money for now while he continues to work on his game.
2. Dave Herman – Solid exposure though EliteXC, and a lot of potential. Based on the interviews I have seen and heard with him, his personality would have been great in the house, I’m not sure what his contract situation with Bellator right now, I know he fought for them several years ago.
3. Daniel Puder – Another prospect with the WWE following he could have added another personality to the house, I think he is under contract with Strikeforce right now.

I’m sure that UFC would have taken Lashley into the house in a heartbeat, and he even expressed some interest, but I doubt his management wanted him in there with all of this talent (I wouldn’t pick him over Nelson, Schoonover, or Jones at this point). He would also probably have had to have some special deal similar to what I’m sure Kimbo has, because he is making 35-40K a fight and gaining experience outside of UFC right now, that being said, if he looks impressive against Sapp this weekend, I think that UFC will sign him and that he will make his debut before the end of the year in the Octagon. If UFC doesn’t sign him, then Strikeforce will be calling I’m sure.

Kimbo should be fighting 205 but he always has the munchies from those blunts he be smoking.

I just wonder if they invited Bobby Lashley to the house. He would have been my pick to win it all
