Kimbo Slice Is Back!!!

"Mixed martial arts heavyweight Kimbo Slice may be returning to television as part of UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter" reality series, Yahoo! Sports reported. According to the report, UFC president Dana White, who has repeatedly scorned Slice's fighting skills, confirmed Slice will be of one 16 contestants appearing in the series (ESPN)."

I know all the "real" UFC fans hate Kimbo Slice, but he entertains me because he is an all or nothing type of fighter. He really just knocks people out, and other then that he doesn't have much skill (on ground fighting, ect). Anyways, I'll watch this show, and I think it is cool that Kimbo Slice will only be allowed back in the UFC if he is able to win this reality series. I know it is terrible, but I will be watching this...

Fuck Kimbo Slice

Overrated piece of shit. He is the biggest disappointment this week and it is monday. He choked worse than the Texans.

I hate him

Kimbo Slice VS. Ken Shamrock

I am so excited for this MMA fight. I know Slice will never be on top of the MMA world, and Shamrock is passed his prime, but I still think this is going to be an awesome fight. When MMA started my father and I were actually into it, and used to watch Shamrock, now he is facing off against YouTube sensation Kimbo Slice. Slice won his last fight, but looked rough. Basically the guy throw haymakers, if he connects, the fight is over. If Shamrock can get him on the ground he has a chance. The great thing about this fight is that Shamrock really hates Slice, and is has been training like a beast. I am still rooting for Slice (yea I know I jumped on that bandwagon), because he is so much fun to watch. Fight is at 9pm Saturday on CBS. Don't worry the Sox aren't on, you can watch...

MMA's Primetime Debut

What a cherry popping night for Mixed Martial Arts. CBS debuted its Saturday Night Fights series with a great card of fights. I can't say I have been a long time MMA fan and really never found the UFC craze to be all that interesting. A few more nights like this and the sport just might have a new convert.

The fights tonight weren't technically UFC fights. They belonged to the Elite Xtreme Combat Organization which is the equivalent of double A baseball I guess??? This is where some research would come in handy but fuck it, I'm lazy.

The fighters were either brand new to the scene (Kimbo Slice, Kaitlin Young) or washed up deadbeats from the UFC (Phil Baroni, Brett Rogers). Despite all this, the action was solid. When the two chicks got after it, I got hard. One was kind of cute and man could she take a punch. That's wife material right there.

The fight of the night was easily Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith. Lawler was trying to defend the middleweight belt and the fight was set to go five rounds. It looked like it would be over in under 3 minutes but Smith held on. This thing went back and forth for the next round and a half before Smith caught a little thumb in the eye action. A couple of broad doctors got into the cage to take a look and decided to call it. Premature for sure and the two fighters plan to "run it back" real soon.

Kimbo Slice lived up to expectations...of being a terrible fighter in every technical aspect. He may be a youtube sensation but you won't be seeing him fight Tito Ortiz or that Hughues guy anytime soon. James Thompson almost put Slice into submission about 3 times before Slice got lucky and exploded Jimbo's cauliflowered ear all over National Television. Which was pleasant.

Anyways, the real hero was Gus Johnson. Can this guy do anything wrong??? He called this night like a 15 year vet. He made Jim Lampley look like a washed up, wife beating, Larry Merchant wanna be....oh wait.

As an aside, I have the current issue of ESPN magazine hanging over the towel rack in front of my shitter. Can you imagine dropping a deuce twice a day looking at Kimbo's mug staring right back at you?
