I love how he doesn’t act like they kissed and made up
I wonder if his fighting results will leak out early before the show done filming. I understand the finale is live but if he loses prior to that, I really wonder if the UFC will be able to keep that in the dark.
it would come w/ a brutal penalty to whoever did it, they practically have secret service to ensure the results don’t leak early. If a fighter did it you’d never see him in the UFC if an employee did it, then they may wake up in shallow grave in a cornfield in Iowa…
Agreed. I can’t imagine who would be brave enough to (if they had the chance) to leak any info on him losing or winning.
I too like how dana’s keeping it real and saying that he understands that kimbo isn’t his biggest fan cuz dana talked loads of **** about him. Seriously though, if kimbo slice can prove dana, myself and lots of other people wrong by winning a couple of fights and possibly the contract, this will not only be huge for kimbo, but for the ufc and the ufc hw division. Why? Because, like it or not, this dude is a character, a character that naturally draws attention. That equals lots of ratings and big bucks for dana white. No matter what dana said about kimbo, there’s got to be some part of him that wants to see him do well because he knows what that could do moneywise and for the ufc.
I just want to see some ko’s dude!
I WAS ONE TO BASH KIMBO AND I AINT JUMPING ON ANY BANDWAGON BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE HIME IN THE UFC. LIKE JAZZKOK SAID HE’S A CHARACTER. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT KIMBO CAN PACK A PUNCH. THERE ARE ALOT OF GREAT MATCHUPS FOR HIM IF HE CAN WIN. ALSO I THOUGHT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO PROFESSIONAL BOXING… DID ANYONE ELSE HEAR THAT? I REALLY HOPE HE DOES WELL…
Man what a crazy stunt this is!!! after all the Bashing all the smack talk all the $hit there letting him on the show! pff see man they talk toatal bs when a big draw in under another permotin then when they get him its ok but he still a bum! lol jokes well if they ever land Fedor which i *ucking hope so you know they will be saying nothing about over hyped over rated just sweet talking all the way to the bank!!!!
I believe its not only kimbo which the UFC are interested in .. I read some where they are interested in Bobby Lashley as well for this next season of tuf.
If I remember correctly Dana has said all along that if Kimbo wants to be in the UFC he can go on TUF. There is no backtracking on that statement for him to now be on TUF, in fact it’s more of Dana White following through on his word.
ufcmanz,
The UFC were interested in Lashley, and Lashley showed some interest in TUF, but his handlers told him no, so all indications are that he passed on TUF. They probably would have let him in (and he would have had a good chance of winning) had he and his handlers decided to go that route.
Well if Kimbo is willing to fight his way into the UFC, well more power to him, i hope makes it. He would get as much respect from me, as with anyother fighter that goes through that hell of living in that house. Good luck kimbo!
Well I hope he does well… Its about money and who fills seats and great fights bottom line. Not who we think deserves it or not or who danna claims he hates but signs to do a show with…
He has fought just as much as Brock Lesnar has outside the UFC and has trained with true mma guys {bas rutten) el whoopo!! I really dont know why he has to go through Tuff to get into the ufc anyway butttt he choose to make danna eat his words and he humble’d himself to do tuff so hey go ahead big Kimbo,!! I dont seriously he will win cause any decent bjj or wrestler or guy with pink hair can beat him but heyyyy who am i to judge!!!
IMO for doing this after being a star like he was for another organization and taken a pay cut etc. etc., he deserves all the respect in the world. He could be out there talking bad about ufc, and fighting in mma’s monster freak shows or boxing Timmmehhh sylvia so good on him!! I personally love he’s in the ufc now now we have another exciting heavy weight!! BIG UP’S KIMBO!!!
Hey 1 of the guys I trained with is on TUFF 10 with Kimbo his name is Wes Shivers Ex Pro football player and 1 big ass guy Wes stands 6′7 and had to get down to 265 from 300 with only 4% body fat. Wes isnt a joke he means business and he is going all out. Give em hell Wes. You can youtube Wes’s early fights when he started MMA he is tons better than his early fights. so go check out Wes Shivers on youtube.
