Believe It: Kimbo Slice To Be Featured On TUF 10
You can drop the jaws right about now keyboard warriors and Kimbo haters- because this just happened:
“Kimbo Slice, the controversial heavyweight who in 2008 headlined the most-viewed mixed martial arts card in history, will be one of 16 contestants on the forthcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter.”
[Dana] White has called him a “joke,” a “bum” and “not a real fighter,” among other less than kind descriptions…The UFC president has repeatedly insisted he would not allow Slice to compete in the UFC unless he won his way onto the show by competing on “The Ultimate Fighter.” Slice has called White’s bluff and will appear on Season 10 of the highly rated Spike TV series, White has confirmed.
…Unlike in recent seasons where the competitors had to win a fight to earn their way into the house, there will be no such arrangement this time. All 16 fighters – Spike and the UFC are keeping names of the others a closely guarded secret – will automatically move into the house.
..If Slice is able to advance to the live Dec. 5 finale, with a chance to earn a UFC contract with a win, ratings would likely be the largest in Spike history.”
Indeed they would.
So much for chasing those boxing aspirations, eh?
It’s only natural to question White’s decision to feature arguably the biggest flop in mixed martial arts history on the largest stage available for up and coming talent. Then again, as they say in the financial world, it is always best to invest without emotion. Regardless of Dana’s once bubbling distaste for all things Kimbo and what he represented, the man knows a golden goose when he sees one.
At this point I am reminded of a scene from Cinderella Man, where Paul Giamatti’s character convincingly explains to a promoter that win or lose, the promoter stands to make more money with floundering boxer Jimmy Braddock in the ring than without.
The same could not be more true in the case of Mr. Ferguson. If Slice craps out in his first TUF test, then everyone rejoices at the epic failure of the puffed up youtube brawler who learned the hard way what happens when Shaw & Son aren’t tailor-making your contests.
On the other shoe, if Kimbo manages to succeed and flourish in the Las Vegas-based reality program, its only more eyes glued to the screen each following week. Whatever happens, Dana White is a richer man with Kimbo on his show than without. That much is certain.
What? Like you’re not going to tune in Mr. Skeptic? I havent watched more than a highlight of this seasons TUF (I gave up on TUF after the bodily fluids extravaganza) but bet your grandmothers pearls, I will make sure that I am in front of the couch with a DVR rolling when Kimbo is asked “Do you wanna be a f*&cking fighter?!”
Make your bets now Frenzy readers: Kimbo will last how long on TUF 10?
Will he be picked up by Team Rashad or Rampage?
Will Dana offer Kimbo a UFC fight regardless of how far he gets in the tournament?
And most importantly, how long before one of the other fighters calls Kimbo out in a drunken stupor?
Let the madness begin…

At first glance i hated this. Dont even know why..just did. But hell hes earning his way into the UFC more than Lesnar did right? Ive decided I like this and that Rampage and Kimbo on the same team could offer up a huge amount of entertainment….Could you Imagine if Forrest showed up and netted them both..I would lose it…and die a happy man.
Yeah, because that Lesnar is a total BUM who hasn’t showed that he deserves to be a UFC fighter…
Exactly!!!! Haters will always hate.
Easy there killer! I dont think Lesnar showed he deserves to be a UFC fighter. Dont get me wrong I love lesnar and have no prob. wiht his rise I was just saying. I also dont think KImbo is a bum..That might be taking it a little far bro.
HE BEAT COUTURE AND HERRING! He has definitely proved himself. Is he the best in the world? Hell no. Does he deserve to be in the UFC? Hell Yes. Could he touch Emelianenko? NEVER.
Lesnar is the Heavyweight champion so I think he deserves to be a UFC fighter, lol.
He does deserve to be in the UFC but, he only reason why he has the belt is because of the hype from WWE. Sure the guy is talented don’t get me wrong but… I don’t think I’d get the title fight after a 45 second loss in the first round and then laying on top of someone for 3 rounds. You just don’t jump into title contention. He needed a few more entertaining fights to get that shot IMO.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that Kimbo looks like a Black version of Bluto from the old Robin Williams Popeye movie
I thought the reason Lesnar has the belt was because he beat the guy that had it… silly me, I should have known it was just his hype from WWE… what was I thinking.
Justin you obviously don’t get what I said. I didn’t say he sucks. He deserves what he has earned.. He was 1-1 when they gave him a title shot. Thats what I’m saying.. Neither one of those fights were as good as they should have been.
Shaun,
You said, “(T)he only reason why he has the belt is because of the hype from WWE.” I just responded to what you said. If you meant, “The only reason why he got a shot at the belt is because of the hype from WWE,” then you might have an arguable point, but that’s not what you said.
but following that statement i also say he is talented. and he only got the belt “title shot” because of his hype from the wwe.
I can’t think of another 1-1 fighter that recieved a title shot. add a little bit of popularity and there ya go
ya for sure this will be interesting… i wonder if we will have any old skool back yard brawls lol!!
and the only reason danas agred to this is because he thinks theres no way kimbo will beat a real fighter!
I wonder if the TUF 10 finale will involve an Octogon with 10,000 gallon tank, a shark, Dana on a bike jumping a ramp?
you are right about that, it just jumped the shark
a shark with laser beams attached to his head
and dont forget the buffer 360
Shane, I disagree.
If I am Dana, I probably make sure that both coaches agree to make Kimbo fight in the very LAST preliminary fight. Thus building up as much hype, drawing in more viewers and making more and more money each and every week.
It’s all about money. The further Kimbo goes in the tournament/reality show the better for Dana White and the UFC. Kimbo will make record draws, PPV buys, and DOLLARS if he earns his way on to the UFC Roster.
Of course if he fails miserably, Dana can always laugh and say “I told ya so”. But inside Dana is hoping to hell Kimbo makes it and earns that contract. He will gladly eat crow if that means more millions for him and the UFC.
It’s all about business and Dana White is no dummy.
My 2 cents.
That my friend is worth a dollar and change cause you are absolutely correct my friend.!!
Dana White knows Kimbo = $$$ and ratings
gota hand it to kimbo to be honest, he nos what a big risk it is but hes willing to step up to the plate, kimbo n rampage teaming up haha who would of thought it.
More than likely, the guys who put the subtitles in this season will be employed for season 10. This is a real economic stimulus.
best line ever…
Good for Kimbo. Atleast he is going to earn his way wherever he goes.
Im putting it out there now I want Kimbo to win and then im going to blaze a trail through the HW division on Undisputed 2010!
if ur like everyone else on xbox live u already created ur own kimbo slice haha no seriously ive fought “kimbo” like 20 times
I can see how this makes sense. Obviously from a ratings angle this will be a huge plus for the show but from Dana’s point of view if Slice loses, he confirms Dana’s commments and if he wins, he legitimatizes himself as a fighter and works his way up from the bottom. If Slice would win the show and get into the UFC then good for him, he’s earned the chance and the respect.
I don’t think you can blame people for seizing opportunities, White or Slice.
Here is what needs to happen: Bobby Lashley needs to join TUF 10 and set up a Kimbo vs. Lashley final……..WHAT? On Primetime!!!! Of Course Lashley will destroy him and that would set up a Lashley vs. Lesnar match with special guest referee Hulk Hogan! Lashley has said he is open to joining TUF, but I wonder what the theme of this season will be since they are keeping it so hush hush. Maybe it will be all fighters from different organizations that are trying to find their way, who knows, we may see Canseco! (I hope not.)
im so tired of these lame WWE comments… get a clue
Ok this really actually made me think something that I never thought I’d say… I could respect Kimbo as a fighter for this. He’s actually willing to do it with a Strikeforce deal on the table so I gotta give the guy props.
That said I have big expectations(no pun intended) for this next season of TUF since it is the first time since season 2 they have used heavyweights. Before hurting my neck I know I had always wanted to try out if they did heavyweights again but now they’re FINALLY going back to it so of course I’ll be watching anyways. Also from what I have heard about the try-outs there are some serious athletes there. I know of at least 3 former NFL players(no one big name but you gotta have serious skill to make it to the NFL) to try out and you know with it being so long since season 2 and then the fact they are not doing a fight in round that they feel pretty confident about the guys they got.
I AGREE I CAN RESPECT HIM ALOT MORE NOW, AND I LIKE THAT HE WON’T BE THE FACE OF THE ORGANIZATION,
cudos
Why do the haters despise Kimbo so much? They say Lesnar didn’t earn a title shot (Did Anderson and Rampage deserve UFC title shots when they got them????). They say Kimbo sucks and isn’t a real fighter. Have you seen his internet videos? Can’t get more real than that. Sure he’s not a Mixed Martial Artist, per se, but he’s got incredible potential. No one is a true Mixed Martial Artist when they start off. Let’s see what Kimbo’s learned in his off time.
Also, people also say he needs to earn his stripes. Kimbo is going into TUF. Can’t earn your stripes better than that. Sure Kimbo may get schooled, but he also has as good a chance as knocking all his opponents out. Let the dude show what he’s got in the mansion, then pass judgement.
Dana always said that the only way Kimbo would fight in the UFC is if he won his way in. Dana’s a man of his word (in this case at least), and Kimbo’s got the balls to step up. TUF 10 will probably be the best season yet if this is the small taste we’re getting so far.
It’s not April 1st is it?????
i still believe people hate because of the organization’s(eliteXC) promotion of him, the allegations of rigging fights, poor refereeing in his fights making it look like they were protecting him, the fact that he never really took training seriously by smoking and drinking all the time, the fact he was paid more than every champion in the organization, and finally….the number one reason he’s hated so much…he’s made and burned more money than most of us have ever seen…
I have absolutely no problem with this at all. Kimbo is either going to lose and show that he was nothing more than just sizzle and no substance, or he is going to have success and show that he was legit, after all. I am okay with either scenario.
Right now though, I’m not sure which situation I am rooting for.
IM GUILTY I HATED KIMBO BUT WHEN READING THIS. I REALLY LIKE THIS MOVE. DANA IS A SMART GUY HE KNEW TUF IS DYING. KIMBO WILL SAVE THE SHOW AND BRING IN ALOT MORE FANS. I THINK HE’LL DO JUST FINE IN THE SHOW. WINNING? I DONT KNOW BUT HE SURE AS HELL COULD. I HOPE HE IS ON RASHADS TEAM. HE’LL BE ABLE TO WRESTLE MORE ON RASHADS TEAM AND I WOULD HOPE TO SEE KIMBO/RAMPAGE FUED IT OUT SO WE CAN SEE A POTENTIONAL KIMBO/PAGE FIGHT. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. ALTHOUGH THERE IN DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASSES. NOW IM EXCITED FOR TUF10. I HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN WATCHING TUF9 IT SUCKS. THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING BORING COACHES.
I can’t believe this is happening. Its a sad day for MMA.
this is the the first time i am gunna talk bad about dana white:
he is full of sh!t “Kimbo sucks” but we will put him on TUF, without making him fight for his spot in the house! He just talks smack to piss people off into doing what he wants! imo! Oh and “Fedor sucks” and is “over rated” but “he will have a UFC title shot immediately IF he comes to the UFC”! dana seems like a T-bag now to me!IMO
remember though Dana did say if Kimbo ever wanted to fight in the UFC he’d have to go through TUF to do it. I don’t think Dana thought Kimbo would but, Dana is sticking to what he said. So he still may not respect him and Kimbo may or may not do well BUT both Dana and Kimbo I guarantee have a lil more respect for each other since Kimbo called his bluff and Dana kept his word.
and i think Kimbo is going to be a likeable guy! I think?
1. Win-Win for everybody. Dana gets his ratings, Kimbo finds a path to recover his mojo.
2. Awesome.
3. Don’t be suprised if they get Lashley.
4. That would be even more awesome.
5. The personalities alone are worth watching this season.
6. (most important of all points!) Remember, the reason why this ISN’T a circus / WWE type move, is becuase when all is said and done, the guy still has to fight. It’s not like they signed Screech or Canseco. Kimbo has been training MMA for a few years now. (Probably longer than Ryan Vader trained MMA, and he won!) I love the move, and it will bring more people into the world of MMA.
7. Move over football…he comes the UFC.
8. I hope Rashaad and Rampage grow Kimbo beards for season 10.
wow really??
When i got on mma frenzy today i didnt expect to see this
I really respect Kimbo’s decision very brave of him to go through what was an idle threat from Dana i imagine.
It wasn’t his fault on the way he was portrayed that was all Gary Shaw promoting him as this modern day tough guy bad ass from the streets.
Best of luck to him as he seems very respectful towards MMA in interviews.
Obviously it wasn’t “an idle threat” since Dana came through on his end and made a HW season of TUF and put Kimbo on it, exactly like he said he would.
Could we have kimbo, lashley, and michael Westbrook on the same show???
that would be crazy and possible
My biggest thing is – whats the big deal anyways? Seriously.. did any of you guys know who half the fighters were before their success in the house? Did you know who a George Roop was? Forrest Griffin? Efrain Escudero? Or even Chris Sanford? Yes..a Chris Sanford reference – he was on season 1 – just FYI.
My point is this…who cares who Dana puts in the house – this is not a fake reality show – meaning, the fights are real – maybe some of the house antics are staged a little bit, but all the fights are not staged. Kimbo has a clean slate – he is going into the house like the other 15 guys at 0-0 (basically) and has to earn his way through. If he gets KO’d in his 1st fight, big deal! If he makes it to the finals, well great…either way – this is a guy trying to make a career for himself doing what he loves to do, and sadly, probably the only thing he knows how to do!
I am excited for this season – I hope Kimbo does well because I’d like to see him in the UFC and fight the heavyweights who are strikers – would be fun! This is a smart move by Dana!
For the old timers here you will recall my position on the POS Bimbo. I stand firm. Having said that…I had also lost interest due to the lack of fluid control on the show…now, I will watch. Watch to see him put back on the streets where he belongs.
I hope he learned a lot since last October, if not he will be tossed out like the trash. I find it funny that he doen’t have to fight his way onto the show. I’m not calling it a conspiracy, I’m just sayin.
Like I said above I really wonder if they feel this may be a real nasty group. By nasty I mean like scary good. The try outs were pretty loaded and it’s harder to move up as a heavyweight due to the frequency of KO’s at heavy. I just have a feeling that if Dana put Kimbo on there that it damn sure won’t be an easy Heavyweight tournament. Expect to see some more division I all-american wrestlers, etc..
I hope so Chris. Yes Lesnar really didn’t deserve his shot right away either but his name and collegiate pedigree gave him a very solid base to start with. Kimbo is a street brawler who is limited, to say the least, when taken down and put on his back. At this point in their careers and they have had the same number of fights, Lesnar is head and shoulders the way better fighter.
I hope the fighter that hits him, hits him hard enough to knock that condom off his head.
I’m surprised at this. I thought the UFC “doesn’t support guys that come from street fighting” as Dana White pointed out on the Dr. Phil show.
It for sure will get them more ratings and that;s and obvious reason for having him on board. Kimbo Slice is an entertaining guy. I can’t wait to see him get beat down.
I don’t know about this one, kinda takes some cred from the TUF show if you ask me, or maybe i’m wrong.
it can go either way… if Kimbo is brutally murdered on the show it proves that the show is legit (not to mention it’d be a testament to the quality of the UFC over other organizations) and if he really busts his ass and trains hard and wins then it shows the effectiveness of the show being there. Plus with the ratings boost it is win-win for Dana and a tremendous risk for Kimbo
chris l.
i agree man, this is a win win for the UFC, and it can also be a good thing for Slice, just like you said if he works hard and wins the he’ll be bigger than ever before and the UFC proves that the show is effective like you said.
I personaly don’t have much against Slice because the guy seems to be a chill dude, but i just dislike where he comes from(street fighting) because it kinda gloryfies(don’t know if i spelled that right) street fighting.
But it can also be looked the other way that someone from the streets can “make it”, so it does look good on a lot of levels if you really think about the overall picture.
I neglect to see how training under the tutelage of Bas Rutten still qualifies one as a “street fiughter”.
*fighter
he’s actually not with anyone last I heard. Bas grew pretty frustrated with him not committing to the training like he said he would. Only reason he signed with Bas is because he was told he had to in order to show he was serious.
He will still be a street fighter until we see some real technical fighting. Until then he’s just another old school brawler in the form of a lot of the old/original UFC guys. So hopefully this is a sign that he’s actually committed to it now.
I like how the UFC freaks who hate everything that’s not UFC, including Kimbo until this story came out, now like Kimbo and this move. Now if Affliction, Strickforce, Belltador, Sengoku, Dream, etc, all the UFC only guys would rip these organizations til no end. Hypocrites!
I don’t think anybody specifically rips these organizations. I think people just want to see the best possible fights, and get upset when they can’t happen. We want to see Fedor in the UFC because the UFC has the best “Dream Match-Ups.”
And for the record, the UFC is making Kimbo fight at the most “introductory” way it can. He’s not even on an undercard…he has to fight for the right to maybe even be on an undercard.
It’s easy to rip the Kimbo phenomenon, because it was so easy to see through…this is his road to redemption, and I think that’s why people are on board. I don’t think I’m a hypocrite because I’ve loved the UFC since Tank Abbot knocked people into seisures back when I was in college. It’s just better than the other organizations.
not to mention Kimbo is taking one hell of a pay cut here…makes it a lil more respectable for Kimbo
I haven’t been a big Kimbo fan in the past but this move shows his heart more than any of the hype of the past. As much as I respect Bas Rutten he couldn’t prove Kimbo’s worth, Kimbo needed to do so and he has twice now. First with the Shamrock debacle/Petruzelli fight and the aftermath and now with this. Hopefully this move will be rewarded…I wish him the best of luck….
I agree with a lot of guys here, I think we should at least give him a chance before we start dropping the axe on Kimbo. He’s not getting paid for this and he wants to have a chance to do what he loves to do and that’s fight. I hope he does well, and I don’t think we’ll see anything that looks even remotely close to being staged, such as Kimbo being the last fighter to fight, people will see right through this and that will make Dana look more like “Shaw” than anything else he could do. I will be watching you can count on that.
i’ll be hoping for BOBBY LASHLEY
Dude……..who cares…..the great thing about this sport is that you cannot hide once you are in the octagon…..this isn’t a Terrell Owens thing where you talk trash all day and then Marion Barber would run for 150 yards….you have to WALK THE WALK! If Kimbo walks the walk, then he deserves to be in the UFC….if he gets handled…then kudos for putting everything (reputation, credibility, career) on the line to prove that he belongs in the best organization in MMA! I have seen a lot worse MMA guys than Kimbo….if he can get basic wrestling down, stop smoking and drinking…he always has that big punch that can equalize things. Plus…the dude is mean…he has something to prove! Who cares who wins as long as we get to see great fights….so maybe we will see some Black on Black on Black crime according to Rampage!
haha on the last part, Rampage did say in an old interview he respects kimbo because he’s been there so we’ll see. it’ll be interesting.
You nailed it PLANCK16
Well said dude!
Adding a character like Kimbo Slice to a show that already has Evans and Rampage as the coaches should be fun to watch. Cash cow! Maybe Bobby Lashley will sign next year with UFC as he doesn’t seem to wanna rush things.
I was wondering why no fighting their way into the house. And i think he will definitely be given a chance on the finale regardless of how well he does. He’s controversial and Dana knows he attracts eyes. Dana did the same thing with Junie Browning.
Don’t forget, many of the TUF alums fight undercards for a while after the show ends. If Kimbo loses, don’t be suprised to see him fight on more bills. The only problem is, the division is so stacked…who the hell does he fight?? They would never put him (at least for his first post-TUF fight) against a Velasquez or Herring?…would they?
Although Kmbo has a lot of work to do, I feel that his boxing is good enough to knock out a few guys in the UFC;s Heavyweight division, one of them being Herring. Herring isn’t all that good like he wss hyoed up to be when he first arrived to the UFC, i’m not sure about Velasquez, but Velasquez is still a bit green and Kimbo is way bigger than him. I’m not saying that Kimbo should fight one of them, but he can give them a challenge and possibly beat them.
If I was the TUF producer, I would “create” an in-house rivalry with Kimbo and the worst dope of a fighter in the house. Then, I’d put them on the TUF finale and Kimbo could knock him around.
Kimbo is kinda gettinig old in age(for fighters), i think he’s late 30’s if i’m not mistaken. I don’t know how far he’s going to get because his chin and gass tank are very weak..i mean Seth fu*king Petruzelli finished him with the softest most gay backing away cuz i’m scared of Kimbo punch ever.
The best part about Kimbo appearing in the BJJ-happy UFC will be seeing exactly how quickly a TUF contestant will put this overrated Internet creation on the ground and submit him…
I think the real reason there is no fighting to get on the show is so that Dana can guarantee kimbo gets on there, that way the show can get some crazy ratings. If he had to fight to get onto the show and lost half the viewers if not more that would be tuning in would stop right their on the first episode(some of you are on this site right now). Smart thinking Dana.
Still, the UFC always picked the opening round fights. They could’ve put Kimbo against a real stinker and that would have been HUGE for the show if he knocked him out. Not to the fan like me who doesn’t miss a show or episode, but the the fan who might not watch if Kimbo was KO’d.
Kimbo vs Lashley in the finals would draw huge ratings and make the UFC lots of $$$$$$$$$
and this fan happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All you guys are clowns. Now Kimbo is your favorite fighter right? I’m actually discusted to hear EVERY ONE of you and, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE saying now “I give him PROPS & RESPECT now. WHY? Because the little bald ****e* is giving him a shot that will help out Dana and the UFC more than Kimbo. I think this is a desperation attempt to get viewers. They shouldn’t have had so many Bums on this season and they wouldn’t need YOUR GUYS FAVORITE fighter KIMBO to fight.{ He got KTFO by a NOBODY} We all know his name. Just think of all the $hit Dana said about Kimbo and now he has a chance in the UFC WOW.
come on just because kimbo is our favorite fighter doesnt mean you have to be rude about it. like come on hes KIMBO SLICE a frickin legend top ten P4P here………. lokk bud dana at the same time he said all that crap about kimbo he also said hed give him a shot on the show. If he put him straight on to a PPV then i would understand. go have your period and shut up.
Potential “black on black crimes” for Kimbo Slice:
Cheick Kong vs. Kimbo Slice
If he ever goes down to 205:
Kimbo Slice vs Rashad Evans
and of course Rampage Jackson vs Kimbo Slice
Ptential “big” fights:
Slice vs. Lesnar
Slice vs. Gonzaga
Slice vs. Cro-cop
Slice vs. Carwin
Slice vs Herring
Of course assuming he makes it to the main card of any event
I give him two weeks before he breaks out, gets a few hookers and beats someone up in there backyard.
I dont understand the hate for this guy.
He fought in a different organization that made him made him their markee guy. NOT HIS FAULT..
Why does he have to prove himself???
Did Junnie Browing??? So what he fought on Tuff he has last almost every fight since then!!!
Did Chris Drunk/Bar fighthing/Steriod Leben earn his way or prove himself worthy to fight in the UFC???
We could go on Forever saying who deserves a shot when really DANA WHITE and the ufc only disliked him because he {kimbo} was fighting for another organization.,
Trained by Bas Rutten at the time then
He beat Tank Abbott former ufc fighter, Ray mercer boxer, mma fighter Bo cantrell + James thompson lost to pink mma fighter seth petruzelli.
So it dont make sense for the hate when really as the UFC + Dana is showing everyone its all about the benjamins baby!!!
Plus he gonna be on Tuff with RAMPAGE and RASHAD this is great tv..
Its a heckva lott better than watching guys drink some one else piss fruit or watching The BriTT’s kick the American team butts any day!!!
At least IMO…
OnlyTrue1
Dude what up!
I agree. There are so many dudes we can mention that we feel don’t deserve to fight in the best mma organization. I honestly thought kimbo was the walking stereotype of what the world thinks combat sports, or mma is and maybe he once was. But like you said, he started to get serious and train with mma coaches and you gotta give the old man some credit. He’s giving it an honest shot, AFTER all of the scrunity and controversy, and trying to work for a guy who’s publicly called him a joke. I personally think he’s going to get his ass kicked, but i’m not going to hate on this dude for trying. Who knows maybe he and rampage can make next tuf’s season hella funny and a lot more entertaining then the current tuf.
This is sooooooooooooo good
Kimbo on TUF 10……
priceless…….
Good for Slice – humble and honorable. I’ll be rooting for him now as he appears to have his head in the right place.
Kimbo being on TUF is simply a joke! It is however, win/win for the UFC!
Turk,
I understand your position…For the record Kimbo isn’t one of my favorites. I still believe that the Thompson fight was fixed. I just think this move merits some respect because he is risking what’s left of his reputation for nothing up front.
i dont mean to steer from the point at hand but i think that having him with micheal westbrook on the show would be off the wall!i had no idea that westbrook could fight until i saw the bully beatdown show where he submitted a dude with a crucifix! i mean, that hasnt happened sinse… like… a long time! good on for kimbo and all (ill stop hating too for the moment) but i want to see more westbrook…
it’s going to be interesting.
why have they allowed his name to surface while kimbo doesn’t get to know who he’s fighting. they can study him but not the other way around?
i hope that’s not the case !?
while the petruzelli loss was unimpresiive other footage was a lot more impressive in terms of his power, attitude, and even some skills and training. will see he may face a relative veteran.
i respect fighters even those who are not top shelf (yet)
turk,
what’s with the name calling dude? This site is not about that.
