Jared Shaw: Dana White made a mistake by cutting Kimbo Slice ... and made me smart

Sorry Dana, but you blew it.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) had a chance to make a star out of Kevin Ferguson, known by his "street certified" name of "Kimbo Slice," but opted to release him after getting stopped by Matt Mitrione at UFC 113 in May 2010.
True, he was knocked out by Zuffa castaway Seth Petruzelli on network television and failed to make the grade on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10, but that's because he was worried about leg kicks and takedowns and couldn't focus on boxing, his bread-and-butter.
That's according to former Elite XC Executive Vice President, who "once again" was made smart by the mistakes of Dana White:
"For the last three years? That's just a mirage," Shaw told Fight Hub TV. "You think just 'cause he wasn't winning in MMA or knocking people out he wasn't born and bred for this sport you're crazy. If you really know both sports you know that in mixed martial arts you have a much more squared up stance, there's takedowns, there's kicks...he's got a lot of things to look for. Now he's just looking at two hands. Kimbo Slice is here to make a statement, and as he just told me, he's got a plan. He ain't here to be a sideshow. He's here to knock people out, take names and build properly towards...hopefully, a heavyweight championship run ... Thank you, Dana White. You made a huge mistake and you, once again, made Jared Shaw smart."
Slice, 37, made his successful boxing debut last weekend by knocking out James Wade in 10 seconds. Video of that fight here.
Does Kimbo's win make $kala right and Dana wrong?
Do you even care?

Yeah all this hate for Kimbo I don’t understand though tbf. He never claimed to be the baddest man walking the planet, he was pimped out by management by promoters and by orgs trying to cash in on his popularity…they are the ones who represented him as something he was not but you can’t blame him for taking the money that was offered to him. When he was given the opportunity to show what he had and earn his spot on the TUF show he did not act like that was below him as many who might do who once headlined huge shows, no he humbled himself went on the show worked hard and by all accounts was a great guy to live and train with. He just is not that great of a MMA fighter but I wish him the best in his boxing pursuits.
Yep and regardless of what most MMA fans think the guy does not have big time heavy hands….he might of knocked out this bum who probably should not be stepping into any kind of ring to begin with but he’s never had big KO power that is just myth.
I hate this fucking clown with a passion tbh……talking about TJ telling him to come say it to his face lol quit acting tough you douchebag you are not going to beat down anyone. The cokehead looks to weigh no more than a buck fifty soaking wet the hell is he thinking challenging a guy like TJ?
“complete leverage, full flush punch” LOL @ Skala using all these advanced boxing terms. What a douche…..and “dana made me smart once again” rofl what the hell does that even mean? Sounds like something Tito would say.
the worst thing about that fight is the fact that kimbo tapped and they jsut ignored it and stoped the fight when the guys ear blew
RESTORE THE ROAR 2011 DETROIT LIONS <----- best D-line in football
no, the worst thing about that fight was that Thompson was hand picked exactly because of his ear.
They knew that ear was an instant “get-out-of-jail-free” card for Kimbo if things weren’t going his way. I called it before the fight even started. I

Ya that is what Skala said but seriously if you reread Skala;here is what he meant, he just called Kimbo stupid.
Here let me reinterpret. Yo yo you know Kimbo he keep thinking of all those things like kicks, wrestling, takedowns, fakes no no no thats to complicated. he has to fight like a man and see only two things a right and a left. So thank you Dana for letting me manipulate ths Dumb ghettoblaster. Cuz hey pimping aint easy. This is what he meant
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

The only motivation for Kimbo Slice. Kevin Ferguson on the other hand…
The new US "debt deal" cut $2.4 trillion in deficit spending over 10 years. So instead of a $1.5 TRILLION deficit in 2012, we will only have to borrow $1.26 TRILLION to run our country into the ground. O_o
Well, we are talking about his job, $ is my main motivation on that topic as well.

Sergio is listed as Editor.
I’m listed as Manager because I took over the blog and I run it now, in addition to my duties at Mania.
I wouldn’t consider it a step back … at all. It’s actually a step up. Feel how you will about pro wrestling but they asked me if I wanted to run it and I accepted. I started at Cageside, came here and have been doing my thing, have now come full circle and am running Cageside. And this is just the beginning. Hopefully I can build that site up to some respectable numbers while still breaking records here on Mania.

It does show that Kimbo has good character in the way he raised his son.
But I still feel Skala is using him personally I do not like Skala and the only reason he has any money is from his Dad. That if Skala was on his own he would be flipping burgers at Wendy’s and making Chili Fries for kids after school.

I think they are only looking to get that one payday out of him
I think their plan is to try to get him to 6-0 or 7-0 and then put him in a fight against either a legit guy or a top prospect and get a payday out of it. In boxing this isn’t that outrageous of a plan, especially in the heavyweight division. Unlike in MMA, building a record by beating cans is an accepted practice in boxing.

They are desperate for a hero
They will fast track the shit our of him, like Dana did with Brock, to bring boxing back into the lime light in the States. Especially after the last snooze fest. They built that Haye/Klitschko fight up forever and it sucked. It was the last thing they had. There’s Adamek in Sept. and then nothing. Absolutely nothing in the HW pipeline for boxing. Kimbo is in the right place at the right time. Maybe a little late, in all honesty, but definitely not too late.
And just to comment on the topic, Dana isn’t a boxing promoter. Kimbo could be the next George Foreman, what good does that do the UFC? They (boxing) are already established with their own big dogs and contracts and promotions and promoters. It makes no sense to dive in head first with nothing but Kimbo to go on. He’s already bringing in billions, he’s fucking busy. For somebody who’s already flopped once and has nothing to do all day it’s a different story.
That’s my $.02
You really gotta give it to the French.....they sure as hell aren't going to fight for it.

The new US "debt deal" cut $2.4 trillion in deficit spending over 10 years. So instead of a $1.5 TRILLION deficit in 2012, we will only have to borrow $1.26 TRILLION to run our country into the ground. O_o

I will admit that he is between the 12th and 20th best WW in the world.
I will never admit he deserves the shot at GSP before proving himself against a wrestler.
If he wins, then he gets all the props in the world, but there are also people who believe that the Holocaust never happened.

Nick Diaz suprised me with how big he is. He might be the biggest guy to fight GSP in a long time.
It’s goin to be more competitive, GSP is going to have to tap into some darkness to squash this iron man. ANd my money is on Rush… but Nick will fight to the death where as I don’t think Shields as that in him.
But this is Rory MacDonald vs Nate Diaz all over again.. just better.

he either will surive to the decision or get stoped via the doctor when his usual cuts take the best off him

Right
Kimbo needs to be protected until he gets his feet wet. Which is what boxing does to any money making prospect.
Also, he does have good head movement. His patented bob and weave (a la Tyson) will carry him past most cans
I resent what Kimbo represents...a thug minority facade that mainstream morons admire for all of the wrong reasons. You are talking about publicity that cheapens credibility. Whose head is really clouded?

Exactly. He had more experience. Who knows if the guy had amateur experience as well.
If I made the move to boxing today I would want someone with an 0-0, 1-1, 1-0, 0-1, 1-2 record for my debut. Now I wish I had that mentality in MMA.

I dont think I could make Jens look any better then he makes himself look. Thunderous power and awesome boxing. All of his losses were submissions he got caught in. He has always remained a very good striker.
With that being said the cut to 135 looked tough on him

He looked like Skelator.
But I think this weight class is better for him, smaller guys=less chance of an easy takedown=less chance of being subbed.
He hydrated well after but he looked pretty rough at weigh ins.

I’ve covered this with OJ before.
Kimbo + OJR = Meh
Kimbo’s fan base + OJR = Fuck Kimbo Slice.
Kimbo got a louder fan reaction than Shogun at UFC 113 for crying out loud. I thought the latin assasin sitting next to me was going awol.
"Crooked banks will gladly give a loan today, so when you miss a payment they can take your home away" - Lupe Fiasco.
BZ - maybe due to my skin color some of these posters don't see the social implications of selling Kimbo Slice to the mainstream. He is being packaged as KS the hard hitting N*** from FL with gold teeth, a big beard, etc. that KO'ed street guys on YT.
If KS was white – he would never have been a big hit with the mainstream.
Stereotypes sell – and that’s what most posters seem to be missing.
"Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. Only enemies speak the truth." - Stephen King
It may be naive of me but if Kimbo had the same success on YT with that beard I would argue he would still be on this same route.
His marketing ploy was, muscled, bearded and internet sensation.

They genuinely gambled and thought Kimbo would truck him.

Because Seth P. actually had some modicum of competence on the ground. Standing, Kimbo has a puncher’s chance; on the ground he had no chance.

i know, i was pretty upset…as long as i get floor seats i’ll be happy…i checked ufc 135 tix and there was still floor seats available…but than again ufc 135 is not as stacked as 136….i guess i’ll just have to try on friday as soon as they go on sale to the public

I never said i liked Kimbo but i can give the guy a chance was just trying to point out one thing people may have trouble with when boxing him he is super aggressive. People are acting like Kimbo said this stuff he never did, its is stupid promoter lol.

"you've made Jared Shaw smart"????
how does that make any sense. If he’s thanking Dana for releasing Kimbo, how does that make Jared smart? Or am i the dummy for tryin to make sense out of this retard?
Fighting solves everything.
the latter

lmao, he was hand picked a fuckign scrub, adn will continue to be feed scrubs………put him up against a legit boxer or even a washed up has been like Toney and he will get knocked the fuck out in no time flat. Skalla is a fucking joke
Bring back the Chute Boxe of old!!!
Toney would be cool. I’d get suckered into that one for real.

That would last 17 seconds as well
and it would end Kimbo’s career.

Kinda sad how much money this guy makes for almost nothing.
Yet so many hard working people make nothing, or at least good fighters don’t get good exposure like he does.
The UFC is not a training grounds
When I watch major league baseball, I don’t want to see someone learning to pitch. When I watch NHL I don’t want to watch someone learning to skate. When I watch the UFC I don’t want to watch someone learning to check leg kicks and defend takedowns. Kimbo was given more than a fair shot at showing he was ready for the UFC and ended up showing he wasn’t. I don’t see where the mistake is in cutting him loose when he clearly wasn’t ready. (I have no idea or stake in whether or not he ever would be). Perhaps there is some mistake in letting the hype show even get started only to fizzle out to such a lack luster finish.
I think Kimbo can count himself a bit unlucky at getting the chop
seeing as Dan Hardy’s still employed after 4 straight losses, the last one against a hand picked opponent. How good would kimbo have looked in the UFC if he got to handpick guys who were going to meet him in the centre of the octagon, “war” and just throw leather???
Dan Hardy actually trains MMA though.
All kimbo does is say “You kno watta’m say’n” and throw punches then gasses out. And UFC should never give anyone cans and falsely build them as a guy whos not green as grass.
Kimbo also trains in MMA

you said Ardy twice now.
And it doesn’t much, but he went for a take down last fight which he never does even though it failed. I know you’re going to refuse to not hate on Hardy so it’s a waste of time.
Sure it does

It means he's a better fighter.
You claim Hardy isn’t that good, Hardy could beat a guy who killed you, meaning you’re not in a position to criticize.
LOL.
I never said Hardy wasnt good and Jens Pulver has yet to kill me. I think you are making way too many assumptions today.

That’s exactly what happened with LHW Petruzelli and Meathead Mitrione, and look what that got Kimbo. And ’Ardy is getting a long leash, just as Kimbo did, because he likes to stand and bang, unlike those pussies who only try to win.
Times have changed for sailors these days, when I'm at port I get what I need. Not Havanas or bananas or daiquiris, but that American creation on which I feed.
Blows my mind the hate
Give the guy a chance. This is boxing not mma a totally different sport and Kimbo just started at it once he starts losing yeah then write him off but why the hate for a guy that just started

Well fact is Kimbo is a big draw......is that a loss for the UFC though?
No the UFC is drawing fans by having the best fighters in MMA period. Kimbo is not near one of the best MMA fighters nor does he have the potential to be as he is close to being one leg kick away from being in crutch’s.
It’s a win for Jared Shaw but it’s no loss for the UFC and Kimbo is lucky the UFC cut him.

IF the UFC put Kimbo vs. Brock in the main event before brock lost to cain, it would not surprise me if the buy rate was near 2M. I am not even blushing, joking or laughing.

And how is this a big mistake for Dana White?
I thought Kimbo was super appreciative of the fact that Dana stuck to his word and created a Heavyweight TUF and brought Kimbo in to participate. Kimbo didn’t last long (and, on top of that, was treated better than most – if not all – TUF competitors). Then Dana gave him another shot at the TUF Finale against Houston Alexander – who was clearly brought back in after being cut to lay down for Kimbo. And Kimbo barely got the win there. Mitrione blasted Kimbo and he was sent packing and rightfully so.
Now Kimbo can try his luck in boxing. I fail to see the mistake that Dana made here. Is it because he didn’t give Kimbo cans to crush (except for Houston Alexander) like they did in Elite XC?
Hmmmmmm…..
