Y! Sports exclusive: Kimbo gets TUF - MMA - Yahoo! Sports




The way the are setting it up with a 16 man all HW tourney I could see Kimbo and some other big named HWs like Bobby Lashley joining the fray.

sorry,i don't know about that.

i look forward to tuf 10 and kimbo. we all enjoyed tank whether he was knocking folks out or getting knocked out himself. i never understood all the hate for kimbo. even if you look at him as nothing but a street thug like tank always said,im going to fight.only difference is here i get paid for it and at the bar i have to pay for it.
in the begining of ufc anyone could compete no matter the style and its still that way today so why not kimbo?
one thread here,4 nfl players in tuf 10,kimbo was a draw that dana didnt have so he was belittled at every chance but now that kimbo is in the ufc you know dana's opinion will change drastically.

[jrow]

there is rumor going around that kimbo got beat in his 1st fight on the show and got ko'ed in the 1st round

[classicironman]

of course there is but is it credible? i mean this rumor sounds more like promotion( approved or even thought of by dana) to get people fired up to watch. if someone truely did leak the truth, the only training they will be doing is ,do you want some fries with that ?
i really enjoyed the usa verses the uk season and i think ,no matter how kimbo turns out,this season will be really good too. id still like to see more gym time on the show but this time the house interaction may get interesting as well. i hope they re-inforced the house. lol

I may be in the minority, but I actually hope Kimbo does well. I know he had the benefit of rising faster than fighters who had trained for much longer, but the lack of respect he's shown now has more than made up for it IMO. He seems fairly humble, and hell, he used to bodyguard for a Adult Video company. That's enough for me to cheer him on lol.

Oh and by the way, The Kimbo getting knocked out leak seems to have been proven false, I have unfortunately read another leak that may or may not be credible by someone who says he got it from a family member involved somehow.

I won't post it because i'm assuming we'd rather see it for ourselves. I wish i hadn't seen it myself. lol. I can give the link to anyone who wants it.

your not the only one rooting for kimbo,i couldnt believe how gracious he was in all his interviews even when dana white and chuck "get my ass beat"liddell,and i wish i hadnt seen the rumor as well,hit me up with that link if u still have it though it will give me some reading material.....lol

[classicironman]

i also would like to read it. i dont believe it till i see for myself but sometimes the hype is far better than the reality. i have great hopes that tuf 10 will be great . i have enjoyed every other season and im eager to see how dana flips from kimbo is a nobody to he is a monster and the biggest threat to the heavy weight division.
i have never been a kimbo hater. as a matter of fact, he was /is a product of great promotion and talent. i mean he didnt come to mma with a gift wrapped title shot. he just did what kimbo does and lucky enough to get paid well for it.now that dana has him in the ufc,many of the former haters will be supporters.
honestly who wouldnt love to see kimbo/lesner ?

If what I read in the link above turns out to be true. WOW.

I've always been a fan of dude. IMO, he's the a perfect example of a professional in terms of knowing that he's both a person and a "persona"

Any of his interviews, dude is super humble, always remarks that he's just trying to feed his family. I can't be mad at that.
