Quoteworthy:
"I guess it’s safe to say I don’t mind being a gatekeeper. Eventually, you got something you want to get. A drive for something, you know what I'm saying? And I guess I'm still searching for that inner me, I'm still searching for something. Until I find it, and until my fire is done, I'm a fighter.... Eventually, you want that title around your waist, that's eventually the goal. But it don't happen, just line them up."
Less than confident words from the preseason star of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10, Kimbo Slice. UFC President Dana White shocked the mixed martial arts community not too long ago, announcing that the former bareknuckle Miami street brawler had taken him up on his offer to compete on the tournament-style Spike TV-produced program. His timing may not be the best -- TUF 10 features former IFL champion, Roy Nelson, UFC veteran Wes Sims and several former NFL players, among others. So will Slice prove White (who predicted he would never win a TUF show back in Oct. 2008 when he first made the bold offer) and all the other doubters wrong or can he hang with the big boys? Find out on Sept. 16, 2009, at 10 p.m. ET on Spike TV. For now, have at it in the comments section below.

His attitude sounds alright in this quote. He seems like he’s willing to do whatever it takes and fight whoever they put in front of him. He realizes that realistically he probably won’t be a champ.

he’s already in his mid 30’s, has no cardio, no ground skills, and according to Bas, is lazy

I just want to see how he does on TUF. I will judge him based on the short clips they give me of him huffing and puffing away at the gym. And I hope he doesn’t make a foo of himself on there using that camera to vent his feelings.

“Van down by the river” Classic Farley! “You’ll have plenty of time living in a van down by the river when your………living in a van down by the river.” Kimbo would/could never be a gatekeeper, but shoot for the stars there big guy.

@McArthur – Wow, you are going to play both sides just to be safe? Then if he gets a fight in the UFC and beats someone let me guess it will be because they are either injured or past their prime right?
Sounds like the battle plans for all the Kimbo haters out there. Man up, just say he won’t make the quarter finals and leave the whole conspiracy theory until after the show is over.

Sounds to me like the rumors about him losing on TUF were true if he’s shooting for “gatekeeper”..

the thing is, he’s not even good enough to be a gatekeeper! On the flip side though, I respect these comments! I may bag on Kimbo quite a bit (as I do GSP), but he seems very humble and well spoken, and now seems very realistic at his career aspirations!
.
alright guys, UFC 101 is now upon us and as most of you know, 15or 16 maniacs have a luxury box for this event. We are also planning to have a nice dinner friday night followed by some gentlemanly fun! If you want to join us for dinner (either Ruth’s Chris or capitol grill) please email me! I think one guy misunderstood me for saying I was buying, I’m NOT! I don’t exactly have 2k laying around for dinner. Whether you’re in the suite with us or just in Philly, you’re welcome to join us for dinner. I also have 1 more ticket available for the suite.
kevjack115@yahoo.com
RSVP by friday so that I can make reservations!

Did you really just accuse Kimbo of being well spoken?
I’ve noticed over the years that Kimbo Slice and a good vocabulary tend to be mutually exclusive.
Still I hope to see Big Country take a Slice. Ya know what I sayin

I can’t even name a UFC HW fighter that he could beat; maybe if they brought back Eddie Sanchez I’d give him a punchers chance. Roy Nelson is on the show to guarantee he doesn’t win it; Big Country has the perfect skill set to either sub him, decision him, or GnP tko him and it’s almost guaranteed.

LOL!!! To funny hddavidson.
All in all You can’t blame Kimbo for taking the opportunity that EliteXC was willing to offer. Anyone in their right mind would have taken it. Make millions of dollars and fight! Hell Yeah. They hand fed him bs opponents and unfortunatly for Gary Shaw but fortunatly for MMA they got exposed by a has been/never was Keith Petruzelli(who looked great as Kimbo in his Halloween Costume). Gary Shaw is the mo that is responsible for the circus that was Kimbo’s career, Kimbo was there for the ride of a lifetime…

Or he saw Brock pound Franks face into a hamburger patty and wants nothing to do with a title shot. I still wouldn’t mind seeing him against some up and comers…if you can’t beat kimbo you shouldn’t be in the ufc.

You just found the UFCs new show. It would test all up and coming WW and MW to a fight with Kimbo. I think the odds would be a little more fair this way and Kimbo doesn’t have to fight anyone who’s experienced.

Its roy nelson not ben rothwell. Ben rothwell would be much worse of a match up for kimbo than nelson. Although im not convinced kimbo is going to do well against anyone in the house. I would like him to, but from what he’s shown so far it seems unlikely. Ill still be rooting for him because the better he does the more people will watch. Its sad to think that a former wwe star and a youtube sensation is what the mainstream sports writers want to talk about. I don’t mind though I think just having them talk about it will make people want to watch. When Howard Stern was coming up didn’t they say the average stern fan listened for 30mins and the average hater listened for 90 mins. I think in the short term Kimbo and Brock will help propel the sport to new height.

I see it like this…fans like to have favorites…some new fans will have Kimbo and Brock as favorites..in 3-5 years when Brock’s 35ish and Kimbo’s 40ish they will need to choose new favs…hopefully by then MMA will be done with the Kimbos, Cansecos, and Shaqs of the sport and only true MMA artists will remain…I’m 34 and have been watching for almost 10 years but you and I, as “experts” are in the minority OD ;)

I think the opposite is going to happen. A lot of “stars” are going to see Brock winning 3 mil. for one fight and get into the sport for the paycheck. It wasn’t all that glamorous fighting for 10 grand, but 3 mil.?

I think that’ll be great. But as time passes, a fighters skill set and athletism will need to grow to keep up with the competiton. Brock’s a great wrestler with enormous size but thats only one skill. I just think that soon there will be other guys Brock’s size with wrestling AND BJJ, Muay Tai, Karate etc. Agree??

we’re misunderstanding jay…I agree with ya but I just don’t consider Brock a true Mixed Martial Artist…he’s the HW champ and deservedly so but he’s just a wrestler whose been blessed with enormity and speed

Totally. My kid has been doing Muay Thai, boxing and jitz for 3 years. He started when he was 8, there are kids there that are 5 or 6. In 10-15 years the UFC is going to be flooded with unreal talent. However there will also be a lot of recognizable personalities taking the sport up for the ever-growing purses. Guys who are semi-famous for this or that coming in and making a quick buck. Because really being a professional MMAist doesn’t take that long to do. Making 3 million now means 5 million 5 years from now. Who wouldn’t do that for 15 minutes work?

If you happen to like Borck there’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t claim that he is good for the sport cuz he ain’t. At least not yet…

It’s all a set-up. Kimbo did not lose in the TUF house, and he’ll play the “gatekeeper” hand until the show is over and we find out he got spoon-fed until the finals.
I remember Dana saying that the only way he’ll fight in the UFC is if he “WINS” TUF…and we all saw him signing autographs at 100…you know what that means. Unless, of course, Dana is a liar and he signed him after not “WINNING” TUF.

Heres what Dana actually said “the only way Kimbo Slice would get a shot in the UFC was if he wanted to compete as a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter reality show.” Didnt say he had to win it or even do well. His point was more that Kimbo couldnt walk onto a PPV main card even though he was the headline main event for thir competition.
So he competes on TUF, even if he doesnt win he can get a “shot in the UFC” Dana is doing exactly what he said he would do…. up to a point, he also said he would match him up with BJ Penn and Chcukc Liddell – now that would be funny.

no intro, he was signing autographs because he’s on TUF, it’s in the contract to promote TUF (especially Kimbo) and he got paid to do it! He at the expo means nothing! I hope he didn’t get spoon fed lesser competition, and trust he didn’t for a few reasons: It would make the show and the UFC lose legitimacy and make them look “fake” and even if they decided to spoon feed him lesser opponents, he’s not talented enough to guarantee that he’d win. I truly believe they picked his (and every other) fight the same as they always do! Every season they give the respective team favorite an “easy” fight, it’s just playing the game! In this case, Kimbo probably isn’t in the top 10 in the house!

I dont think Dana would be wrong for signing someone he can make money off of. If all he cared about was letting the people who had the most passion for the sport compete then I would be in the UFC along with all of the other fans fighting it out. One key stroke at a time. In a fight in the UFC today, there is no spoon feeding. No matter how much better you are than the person across from you, he is still a trained fighter who has an incentive for kicking the S@#& out of you.

Dana has said alot of things he didn’t keep his word on. For some reason this guy gets people to watch, and Dana isn’t going to turn his back on the almighty dollar. He brought in Lesnar at the same time as Kimbo was being hyped to trump EliteXC. I doubt he’ll walk away from this guy if he earns some respect in the house. I think if Kimbo wins just one real fight he’ll gain some respect, otherwise he’s forgotten. The guy was hyped way too much, but he’s only lost one fight so far and no one really knows what he can or can’t do.

Firstly, jus wanna say im not a big Kimbo fan, but i do respect the guy’s hussle. From fighting random guys in backyards to getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in MMA is not easy. I think its safe to say that if Kimbo didnt win, which im almost positive that he didnt, considering the other talented fighters in the house and also that he’s like the smallest out of all of them, he will certainly have 1or2 fights before leaving

I really like Kimbo. He knows he isn’t the best fighter in the world, but he’s trying. He wants to gain respect. Look at it like this, he’s a guy who was the main event on a Network television MMA card, and got paid $500,000 to do so. Now, he’s living in a house with a bunch of people who want to kill him for 6 weeks.
Good for him, fight on Kimbo! I like his attitude 10x more than Brocks.

I hope Kimbo gets stuck fighting Marcus Jones in his first fight….after he gets knocked out we wont have to see that shaved chest anymore. Jones trains under Rob Kahn in Tampa…he’s for real…and will be BIG! I’m hoping some good talent comes from this season so that terrible H.W. division can get a little better…oh and I hate Lesnar. he just needs to fight someone he can’t over power…then that lack of skill when it comes to MIXED martial arts will be shown.

Not exactly the most ambitious target, being a gatekeeper in arguably the UFC’s weakest division and to me this all but confirms the rumours that he lost (admittedly not a big suprise).
I respect him for actually signing up for TUF and him in the house with former NFL players and UFC veterans as well as Rampage and Rashad coaching will make for the most entertaining series in a long time. I wouldn’t be suprised if TUF 10 gets record breaking ratings because no TUF series has had this much hype or has had bigger names in the cast.
Kimbo’s never going to be a well rounded fighter and is a modern day Tank Abbott but he is popular and will bring in a lot of fans to the sport, even if they are deluded in thinking the guy is a worldbeater. If he fights on the finale then his will most likely be the most watched fight as like Brock he gets mainstream attention, he has a big following and the hardcores will watch to see him lose.
