Kimbo Slice on cover of ESPN Magazine (long read)

[PhillyTheKid]

When I watch MMA I want to see warriors like Rampage and Kimbo. Not some trailer park white guy in swim trunks, or some hispanic nigga in a bikini

I wanna see knockouts not two men in the missionary position the whole time.

Dana White is just jealous that Kimbo can beat anyone on his roster. All that jiu jitsu shit cant work if you get knocked out in 20 secs. real talk

It’s obvious you know nothing about MMA. You actually think Kimbo could beat anyone on Dana Whites roster??? Thats laughable. Riddle me this batman, tell me one person Kimbo has fought of merit in MMA???? (sound of crickets chirping). LOL

I am a KIMBO fan. I like the dude and I am not knocking his come up. I am just saying that Kimbo has only fought shemps and people way past their prime.

Also, the reason why I think KIMBO isn’t with UFC is that Dana White would have made KIMBO fight someone of merit...just like Brock Lessner had to do in his fight. Dana wouldn’t have allowed Kimbo to fight the type of garbage fighters Kimbo has thus far.



Remeber, this aint boxing. So if you want to see stickly knockouts, then MMA isnt for you. In MMA you have to have a well rounded game (stand-up and Floor game). What makes you think the ju-jitsu guy is going to let a striker knock him out? If the Ju-Jitsu guy takes striker to the ground, the striker is helpless like a cap sized turtle. Besides, whats a striker going to do when the ju-jitsu guy is submitting his ass. LOL.

Kimbo is a straight up warrior....props to the brotha for what he came through and the blessing of his future success. Anybody that likes to beat up bullies is cool with me.

As I have said, his focus right now should be on submission defense, his cardio, and putting on submissions.

TALENT ...............

Agreed. Kimbo should also concentrate on Take Down defense. People see he already has the striking power and speed to knock any mofo out, they are going to try to take him down to the mat. This way his striking is negated. If he learns take down and submission defense, he will rule MAA.

First of all Money Power Respect,

I appreciate you sharing this inspirational article with us. That is one less black american dream UNdeferred. He loves his life, his family's lives and wants the entire family to be productive citizens while knocking cats out. I respect that.

Secondly, I hate to bring race into this but before I do, Kimbo is being brought along like a star and will fight great talent GRADUALLY. Honestly, I can't even get mad at the white boys for hatin' on Kimbo because, man to man, he IS taking their shine. However, the counter to that is that it is not his fualt he used youtube and they did not. Ignorance on their part. And we all know that white people cannot stand to feel as if they have been outsmarted...especially by a *****. The irony is that his exposure will be just like Tiger's...you love to hate it. You were eating ok before he came but now he is the big draw that kicks your azz EVERYTIME but in return allows you a fatter paycheck, due to exposure, to trick off. I love reparations. They may not come the way we expect but every go around comes around.

I just want him to do like Shawty Lo say "get...get...get...iiiiiitttttt"

Preach.

Man im not blaming this on Kimbo, but shit like this, and his recent interviews, and shit i see at other promotions than UFC... I give it 2-5 years before MMA goes down the tubes like Boxing, Hiphop, and so many other things.

Money kills perfection.

All great points and I must say I agree fully. The one thing thats going to happen is that Kimbo will get beat. Everyone including Fedor has lost. With that said if and when he does these hating ass MMA "Purist" will have nothing but shit to say about him even though he is humble, respectful and is dedicated to the "sport" of MMA. He is the new face for now and I hope he enjoys the ride.

On a side note they are trying to setup a rematch between Kimbo and Sean Gannon the cop who beat him before. I personally think Kimbo gets him in a rematch with his new found skills
