Kimbo slice makes network debut

Shields is a joke. Until they get a battery of good fighters the league will be a joke. One or two good fighters per weight class won't do it. What happens once Arlovski wins the belt? Who does he fight? They have no one and not too many decent fighters will be out there. They need to do what WEC is doing and compete at different weight classes and build stars from within. But they have to identify who the good young ones actually are. And yes I do know UFC owns WEC. Why do you think they bought it? WEC had figured out a solid way to compete.

did'nt kimbo slice get his ass kicked?
how many of you guys saw ex dallas cowboy glenn carano's daughter gina fight?
she is hot and can fight,i like her.

I know I've pimped my buddy's site out before, but go to BloodyKnux.com (http://www.bloodyknux.com) for all your MMA news and forum needs. He's got a post asking for input on questions to ask UFC Fighter Tyson Griffin.

i don't know if i agree with the age thing. he keeps letting Coulture( sp?) come back. and Lldell isn't a spring chicken. it seemed like when Arlovski finally won the belt, he got very timid. don't know if that was due to injury, or not. but i cant get enough of the M.M.A :)

Couture and White actually hate each other right now... but it's rumored he may make a return to fight Big Nog for the heavyweight belt... or a pre-title fight against Brock Lesnar. But the UFC would have to tear up his old contract in order to do this (which is why Couture left in the first place).

Unlike boxing, MMA is an evolving sport- that's why guys get old real quick in the UFC. Fighting styles get more and more advanced and champs only last so long. Lidell used to dominate... ever since his second loss to Rampage, he looked goofy getting slapped up by Rashad Evans. I remember when Royce Gracie owned everyone when UFC first started (no weight classes back then either)... then Matt Hughes totally took him to school a few years ago. And then Hughes got taken to shed twice by GSP. It really is a young man's game.

Anyone watching the "Ultimate Fighter" on Spike? I think that blonde dude is gonna kick himself off the show this week... in the preview, he totally loses it in the house.

I had a feeling EliteXC would try to do this...

If they wanted Petruzelli to box rather than take Kimbo to the mat, then it was a major backfire. I don't think Kimbo took a dive, especially how pissed off he was, but then again, with ratings and money on the line, the promotion could have gotten very desperate.

I guess we'll wait and see. I really don't see anything coming of the investigation, but if it does, the entire sport of MMA will take the black eye.

So is that it for Kimbo now? Are his 15 minutes over with?

Nope, but he's about 12 minutes into his 15...EliteXC has spent too much money on him and marketing him to just throw him by the wayside.

Slice/Shamrock will happen down the road. From there, who knows, but as of right now, there is no way he can hang with the likes of Antonio Silva, Andrei Arlovski, Josh Barnett, Fedor Emelianenko, or even a Tim Sylvia. There's a reason Dana White would never bring Kimbo Slice to UFC and Elite is banking on being able to turn Kimbo into a legitimate threat.

as big and as popular as kimbo is,he should go to the wwe.it's fake,but he could be one hell of a heel over there.i'd love to see him go at it with triple h,randy orton,big show,
kane,taker,and khali.
