anyways im not knocking kimbo he's never gave me a reason not to like him other than the comments bas made on him, so i wish him the best.

Ut oh what did Bas say about Kimbo?
Im pretty sure its going to be aired this Friday but damn I cant wait that long lol. Due to my work schedule the only MMA events I have access to is TUF/Hdnet (fridays only).

Thanks Falcon,

oh no no no, Bas said some stuff about kimbo way back in the day

This is what i was reffering too:

“I stopped training Kimbo. I had him six weeks before the last fight (a loss to Seth Petruzelli on October 4), I talked to him about certain things that I didn’t like, and he promised never to do it again, and then he started doing it again. If people come to me and ask me to train them, I want them to do what I tell them to do, because that’s what they came for. … Once you start doing different things, you’re out. It’s not because he got knocked out. This was already in progress long before the fight.”

“When Kimbo came in and did everything, he had huge potential. I said that in interviews. He was doing good, he did everything. He was doing good. He was doing really good. But he started to change. If he would have kept on training like he did in the beginning, yeah, I saw a really good future for him.”

Its a very good move both for Kimbo Slice and the UFC, but remember Kimbo doesn't even have to win the entire show to fight in the UFC. He probably has to look dedicated and improve his skills. There have been some bums from past TU shows that have fought in the big show. But, I was just curious what kind of mutual respect if any is there from Dana to Slice. Cause honestly, KS does seem like pretty cool, respectful dude.
Where DW talks alot of smack about everybody.

So yea correct me if im wrong, but i always thought it was his managerment who was dicking around with dana, im sure fedor wants to come to the UFC and clean out thier division.

You are correct sir, well sort of, but I am not sure about all the details. Dana and Fedor's management collectivley cannot come up with a mutual agreement. Dana says they had some pretty extreme demands, and apparently Dana has never even had a face to face with Fedor.

Response: Now theres the pot calling the kettle black. You're doing a bangup job with your unwarranted crusade against Kimbo. When you look at Kimbo you see a thug (its implied in your posts) yet you dont know the man more importantly you dont know the meaning of the term thug.

Well why don't you enlighten me on the meaning of a thug since I seem to have no idea. After all, you know everything about me and my past. Hell, you might even be able to tell me some things I didn't know about myself. I'd appreciate the help. Until you teach me I'll continue to say that Kimbo was PRESENTED AS A THUG by his handlers who continually used video of his backyard fights to promote him. As I clearly stated in another post, those kinds of things are going to make the casual person think...THUG!. So all of those first time watchers on broadcast television see this guy promoted in this manner and it leads them to the conclusion that it really is just a bunch of thugs and bar room brawlers beating each others brains in. That was bad for MMA's image. Kimbo was bad for MMA's image. That is my issue with him. He was treated like MMA royalty while guys who paid there dues were not and he displayed an image contrary to what real MMA fans have been trying accomplish for years.

Yea, well I understand Thuggee gang from India, but I'm talking about the slang term used here in the US and how it related to the marketing of Kimbo.
