MMA Quick Quote: Kimbo Slice no match for Brazilian lightweights

Or it does mean lightweights. I love it!! Kimbo is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus LJ, I hope you didn’t cum in your pants reading that!

Big Foot told lightweights in fact.

Seriously – about time for Big Foot to get off from the roids – it starts messing with his brain

Bigfoot was a lightweight before he started using his “supplements”.

RUMOR****
KJ vs Guillard at UFN18. Can anyone confirm? coz i know the UFC is trying to sign noons.

Maybe they can roid up together in Japan now.

God I hope this isnt true. Last thing I want to see is KJ fighting in the UFC. If he does come to the UFC the only fitting fight would be:

KJ Noons vs. Nate Diaz!

I could see JZ beating the crap out of kimbo!

I hope it happens, Silva vs Slice. I think Slice has a good chance…. HAHAHA!! Ok sorry I can’t keep that up. Silva would kill him easy.

On KJ vs Guillard, I’m neutral. I like Melvin’s KO highlight reel, but I don’t like him as a fighter. And as for Noons, I’m on the Diaz side of that feud.

But a decent scrap to say the least. Should be a good fight.

NNR: I have heard the same thing, he is to sign here shortly and his possible opp. could be Melvin. Should be a good stand up war. Technical boxing vs Huge Haymakers. I actually think Melvin will win just by catching noons once. And i just dont like KJ.

id say kimbo beats silva with a barbeque to the head, stomps him while on the ground then smacks him with an airconditioner unit…

really though i think kimbo could go 2 rounds with bigfoot maybe 3 bigfoot likes to play with his food before he eats it

KJ is the perfect opponent for Melvin! However, KJ is SUCH A PUSS that he would probably shoot in for a takedown at the sound of the bell. Hopefully this fight will end very similar to KJ’s first ever EliteXC fight against KrazyHorse.

F**k … funny comments! BBQ in head … what brand size you thinking? … Jumbuck, 4 burner :)

mmmm, BBQ

NO WAY! I’ve been waiting for Guillard to come back to the UFC since forever! He is my favorite fighter of all time!

I think that it could end more violently then the krazy horse fight, in fact i am praying that it does. Does KJ have a ground game? (serious question) Has melvin ever been hurt in a fight that didnt go to the ground? i think melvin has way to much power for KJ.

I gotta agree here, Melvin will be too much for him. But Noons showed decent defensive wrestling in the Diaz fight. Ehoglund – here anything about Herring-Dos Santos? I thought he was slated to fight Struve but people are saying herring at 97.

UFC stills shows Dos Santos/Struve on the under of 95.

I did hear that he was going to fight herring, but at the end of that article is said to take that fight with a grain of salt. I think that both are true tho, either santos will knock out Struve or he will be subed by him. And if he wins he will probably not have much damage to him and would be ready to go against Herring. I think the reason he is on that card is the Europeans like the brazilians and Stuve is dutch so it makes that fight more desirable for the UK.

I think they want to see if Santos has a ground game instead of being just a one punch fighter (houston alexander). I think the uFC has big plans for him if he can hold his own on the ground, and so they dont start to pour a bunch of money into him with marketing and them him be terrible on the ground and they wasted it all. Just a thought.

Ehoglund,

At last check, I would say he has some ground game. He is a purple belt in jits and hold some Brazilian titles as well. But, I can see your point. Does his BJJ translate to the octagon and an mma fight?

I didnt know he was a purple belt (prolly a legit one too if it is with nog). But like you said will it translate to mma. Also how is his take down defense, cuz if he is fighting a guy like brock, or even randy, his jits might be negated by power/clinch/dirty boxing. But i think he will do well in the UFC and i hope he has fights in 95 and 97 just so i can see more of him.

I also think the UFC wants to make sure he is legit before they really start the marketing push.

Melvin/KJ is a dream match for UFC. Melvin (who I really like) will win, and ekite’s 160 pound division will be proven to be a joke…but melvin wouldn’t come close to beating Nick Diaz!

by the way, where is the video blog today!!!

I thought Melvin is in jail?

There is also more to the story of Bigfoot. Apparently he is suing the CSAC and trying to get his suspension overturned in civil court, AND his next fight could be against ALEKS

Leites has not been confirmed and I hope it turns out not to be true. I’m not sure how the Hendo/Franklin match can set up a rematch with Silva. If hendo wins he fights Bisping and if he loses he won’t get a shot for quite some time, I would imagine. The lack of an announcement confirming Anderson’s next fight has been extremely disappointing, especially after the Cote fight and him saying how quickly he wanted to get back in the octagon.

Might be a good thing not to rush his last 5 fights; at least they’re taking they’re time and putting some thought into the match up; we can only hope thats the case.

o damn, what im trying to say is, why arent any of these fights youre talking about on 95 or 96 or even on a fight night in between? it seems like there is a several month gap of no title defeses or major contender fights… the last time silva fought was october, is there any reason he shouldnt be fighting in febuary or march? these long layoffs for no real reason are ridiculous

Nope – they just ran out of crappy opponents to feed to Silva – they need more time

brendan-
 
contender fights at ufc 95:

Stevenson vs. Sanchez
Mardquart vs. gouviea
Sonnen vs. Maia
Koscheck vs. Thiago (atleast its a contenders match for kos)

contender at ufc 96

Carwin vs. Gonzaga

and Miller vs. Maynard maybe

95 seems to have a pretty stacked main card despite the fact that there is no title fight. On the other hand ufc 96 looks horrible and i am starting to think that gonzaga vs. carwin is going to be the main event, which sucks i am going to my first ufc event at ufc 96.

They are still looking for chuck to fight at UFC 96 they are just waiting until after this weekend to give him an opp. It could end up being him vs Rich Franklin depending on the outcomes. And if it isnt Rich vs Chuck and rich isnt coaching on TUF then he might get a fight cuz its in Ohio.

at UFC 97 it looks like they are doin Brock vs Mir, Silva v Leites, Jardine v Luiz Cane, Loiseau v Herman, so its not too bad right now, and if GSP can fight i am positive he will be fighting there since its in Montreal.

They could also reschedule Chuck/Shogun depending on this weekends results.

i read an interview with dana white and he said they were looking at chuck for april, but i have seen chuck rumored on numerous sites for 96 and i know he wants to return as soon as possible. I dont know who is out there for him to fight as many of the top light heavies are tied up with current fights, we know the winner of franklin/henderson is going to coach tuf and that the loser will most likely not be ready to fight again in march. I think if shogun wins quick then it could be him but other than that i dont know who they would match him up against as the jardine rumor has been shot down, wanderlie just got brutally knocked out, vera is tied up, machida and silva are tied up, bonnar tied up, griffin injured, i dont know who that leaves houston alexander? Brian Stann? Steve Cantwell?

I don’t think Chuck would accept a fight against any of those 3, he’s been slippin lately but a loss against one of those guys would be the nail in the coffin. End of the line for Chuck at that point.

I dont think they will do Stann or Cantwell, they want to build them up more and dont want to risk them beating chuck, and if they do that means the end would be near for Chuck. If he beat them it wouldnt do anything for him and it would knock out some of their fighters that they want to keep around. If chuck loses to another high caliber fighter then maybe, but they still have the fall back plan that his PPV will sell as long as its against a decent opponent.

matt – how is Stevenson vs. Sanchez a contender match up? you really think either of these guys would get a title shot if they won? i sure hope not…

Geez… The glass is always half empty with you. I have never heard so many complaints about one of the best free cards in recent memory.

Diego is going to be a monster at 155 and if Nate beats Guida and Diego wins I would like to see them fight for a #1 contender.

Brendan, because they are both contenders….. not immediate title contention but still contenders

ehoglund-

I dont wanna see chuck fight any of those three guys either, my point is who else is out there that he could in march that makes sense? i cant think of anyone.

Brendan- how is stevenson vs. sanchez a contender matchup? Diego was one win away from a title shot before he got hurt for ufc 90. He is like 19-2 or something like that, has good wrestling, great submissions, showed huge improvements in his stand up over luigi fiorivante and is a very popular fighter. Stevenson is two fights removed from having a crack for the title against penn and has gone 1-1 since then and i still believe he is a top 5 lightweight in the ufc. I think if diego wins he is ready for a title shot especially if kenny could dethrone penn, imagine the story behind that fight!! Also I think out of anyone in the division right now diego has the best shot to beat penn if he can successfully make the cut and we will find out soon. MARK MY WORDS, DIEGO WILL HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE BEFORE THE END OF 09, if bj defends that belt atleast two or three times lol

Oh jeez… where to begin. I’m getting too old for this stuff.

Kevin James makes his (very good) living being an unfunny comedian. He has no aspirations AFAIK of being a mixed martial artist. So much for that.

Yes, I and you and everyone else sees PROFESSIONAL fighters on the UFC undercard. Look up the definition of the word. I don’t care that they make up to 32k/year. They were the ones to make the choices that brought them there. I think they take their lumps less for the love of the sport than for the chance of a big payday and long-term success.

And if you think I’m wrong, fine. But think about this – all the little kids who play football want to win the Super Bowl. All the little kids who play baseball want a World Series ring. Etc. Dreams are part of being human, but make no mistake, pro fighting has to be a business first and loveable sport second. No major sporting leagues would exist otherwise. ’nuff said.

Neither you nor I have any idea about fighter contract negotiations. No one posting online gets to sit in with Zuffa when they make decisions about who to sign.

TUF is hardly the only road into the UFC; most fighters never go on the show. If Kimbo signed a small-money deal, he’d be in and the UFC could pimp him out.

Were Kimbo to appear on TUF, he would immediately be considered “equal” to everyone else, and that means “equal” pay. That is called squandering your advantage, however slight. If you’ve watched the show you know how they edit all that shit together – what guarantee does Kimbo have that they’d put him over in a positive light? Hell, they’d probably try to squash him and his image so as to make him as useless as possible outside Zuffa-land. At least if he had a fighting contract he’d control (to an extent) how he’s perceived because he’d just be on fighting cards, etc.

Lastly, getting KO’d by a UFC washout via jab is strange and embarassing, but look at us – we’re not talking about Seth here are we? We’re still talking Kimbo. As more time passes that loss is going to matter less and less. The next time Kimbo and Seth fight (not necessarily each other), who do you think gets the bigger paycheque?

A lot of these guys making a living off fighting could make more money in a civilian job or have left a better paying job to persue fighting; don’t believe me? Look at Mike Dolce on the last season of TUF, the guy was a Municipal Tax Assessor; he didn’t win and he still continued to fight even after the show. Last bout was in September ‘08, it was a loss and he still tries. You think that guy thinks he’s gonna make millions one day? Or is he taking a pay cut off a job he probably disliked and doing what he loves to do?

A sporting league generating revenue is not evidence that the players are all $$ motivated, none of us are inside these guys heads, we don’t know if they’d still be doing the same damn thing regardless of the amount of $$ paid to them.

Kimbo has 2 choice’s; he can “squander” his advantage on TUF and with one win take home an entire season’s worth of publicity possibly opening more doors to a variety of different opportunities. Or he can rematch Petruzelli, probably get KO’d again and kiss the rest of this “star power” good bye. BTW, who is going to pay Kimbo Slice $500k to fight after that KO now that EXC is gone? Where/who is this big pay day your talking about coming from? Does Dream want Kimbo? Do the Japanese fans even know who the hell Kimbo is? Does Affliction want Slice? I doubt it. Who exactly are we talking about thats willing to pay this bum $100k pay days?

In not so many words, this has degenerated into a:

“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah!”
“OH YEAH?”
“YEAH!”

type of discussion.

For every Kenny Florian there are numerous Pete Sell’s. Who knows what the likes of Chris Leben did before MMA… I’m not sure he can read.

There are no guarantees for anyone, even Dana White. The bottom line is Kimbo is taking a risk. It might be a bigger risk than going the TUF/UFC route, but the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

Cop out =P

Exactly what I’m saying Grembone, who the hell is gonna pay Kimbo that kind of $$$?? Why would Dream front that kind of cash for this guy when the Japanese fans probably don’t know who the hell he is. Affliction signing Kimbo Slice? Unlikely. Whats Strikeforce pay? Can’t be much more than TUF. Isn’t the general consensus in the media/fans that Elite XC’s biggest mistake was building their org around an inexperienced street fighter? Now you guys are saying his only big pay day is gonna come from another organization willing to make that same mistake? I don’t see him getting squat anywhere else; TUF is the only option at this point imo.

I actually would love to see him step into Tuff. If he did good, that would be cool. I would be surprised, but it would be cool to see him hang in there.

If he is wanting to stay in entertainment, this is the way. I can’t see him getting a good acting career going.

It’s just a correction.
It wasn’t meant to be a “BURN”.
My question for you would be why the fuck you’d waste your time posting such an asinine comment?

LOL!
