    i can think of a lot more things to do to gina rather then get her autograph dam shes fine

  • TJ says:

    perhaps the two most popular and recognizable atheletes in MMA? Seriously?

  • YZFOXRACING says:

    WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TJ… YEAH DON’T COUNT ON IT

  • The Gunslinger says:

    THE THINGS I WOULD DO TO GINA!

  • The Gunslinger says:

    AND LET HER DO TO ME!

    …….TRIANGLE!

  • hamsterwheel says:

    If i c her, she’s goin to show me what gina’s short for…

  • jpm says:

    I’d like to beast Gina !!!!!!!!!!!!

    male chauvinist pigs, aren’t we all great !!!!!

  • KOuch says:

    TJ,

    You took the thoughts right out of my head…..the words out of my mouth…….the midget out of my dwarf. MMA is in worse trouble than boxing if that statement is true.

  • Sharper says:

    people know kimbo because he’s a beast, and people know gina because she’s hot. however, neither of them can be considered the most popular in MMA. maybe to people who have only watched elitexc, but not anyone who actually somewhat follows the sport.

  • TJ says:

    well said KOuch!

    If these two are the ones representing this sport than MMA is in a world of hurt. Kimbo Slice is exactly the type of person MMA fans and MMA officials like Dana White cringe when they here his name associated with the sport. He exemplifies the street fighter persona that the sport of MMA is trying to get away from. The reason why he exemplifies the street fighter persona is because HE IS A STREET FIGHTER. The scene at the end of the TUF season 5, where those two clowns had a brawl in the backyard is what Kimbo Slice is all about. MMA is all about the Jackson/Griffin war. The Pulver/Faber fight. Two of the top competitors in the game going toe to toe for 5 rounds.

    As for Gina, have only ever seen pictures and for that matter I like what I see. I would like to see her fight. Maybe I will tune in for an EliteXC that she is fighting in but if Slice is involved I will be watching Baseball instead.

  • CC says:

    It’s a press release not an article … what else are supposed to say?

    “The undefeated EliteXC fighters, perhaps the two least popular and unrecognizable athletes in mixed martial arts, will sign autographs inside The Stockton Arena …”

  • KOuch says:

    CC,

    It does sound a little more truthful. You can lie to yourself, but you remain alone.

  • TJ says:

    CC,

    No they could simply say, “Two EliteXC Standouts”, “Two MMA Standouts”, “The Future of the EliteXC” etc.

  • The Gunslinger says:

    does it really matter gina’s hott thats what matters most!

  • Ryan-S says:

    sh1t, she is nice, mmmmmm, in the UK we have real ugly ****es for fighters, but she is worth a shag anyday :)
    submit me my love, submit me. PLEASE give me a rear NAKED choke, or like someone said before, the triangle. Geees, I would sleep at the thought of her sweaty warm legs and crutch stuck that close to me. mmmmmmmm
    better stop with the perving now !

  • Dannyboy says:

    Not sure how Kimbo presonifies the ’street fighter persona’ when he’s done nothing but train with Bas Rutten who is extremely disciplined. If he were still actually street fighting I could see that. The man’s trying to change his image and people give him **** for it.

    Course people gave Tyson **** for being undefeated because it was quite a while before he made it past the 3rd round.

    Love him or hate him…Kimbo is here to stay… even after his first loss when all you whiners will be jumping with joy, having sex with midgets and stuffing bacon butties up your asses.

    With respect, of course… :)

  • joel b says:

    I have never seen a female MMA match are they good

  • the gunslinger says:

    joel b,

    they have some pretty good fights…alot of times the woman fight better matchs than men….some good ones are

    gina carano vs kaitlin young

    Julie Kedzie vs gina carano

    theres plenty more but the gina fights are probably the only ones youll be able to find on the net

    its really still small womans ma but its getting bigger…i mean theres an all woman’s mma promotion and theres alot of underated fighters like tara larosa and shayna Baszler who could probably be womans division champions if elite xc ends up making a womans division…and if affliction gets a womans division that could put a lot of pressure on the ufc because dana hates womans MMA but its a mma promotion gold mind..it makes the woman viewers go up!

  • TJ says:

    He exemplifies the street fighter persona because all he has ever done is been a street fighter. At least thats what people see of him and thats what he is known for. If he proves himself in real sanctioned MMA, then of course he can be a real athlete in MMA but he hasn’t done that yet. So for now he is known only as a streetfighter.

    Example…

    My friend (knowing I am a fan of MMA): “You gonna watch the fights on saturday, Kimbo Slice is fighting I am watching just to see that maniac fight. You know the guy from the youtube videos in the backyard brawls, he is a bad @$$.”

    Me: “He is not fighting, I will porobably watch to see Robbie Lawler fight Scott Smith. Scott Smith had a really fun fight to watch a few years ago against a guy named Pete Sell. Sell broke Smiths ribs and then Smith knocked Sell out on his way down. Or maybe I will watch Nick Diaz, he might be a little nuts but at least he can put on a quality fight.”

    My friend: “Kimbo Slice isn’t fighting? I am going to the bars, you wanna come?”
