Quoteworthy:

"Kimbo's one of those guys who doesn't have any ground game. He's training and he's learning but he's been built up as such a big star and that's the thing that bothers me. People talk about him like he's the next great thing when he really hasn't done anything. He's been built up because of the Internet and him beating a bunch of guys on the street. I could make some impressive knockout videos too if you let me walk outside and just punch people and knock them out -— 'hey you, come fight!' F*** we can make a highlight reel tomorrow and go round beating people up and talk about it -— we could just go up to people and start dropping them -— wow!"

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell shares his thoughts on bareknuckle Miami, Fla., streetbrawler turned EliteXC mixed martial arts heavyweight, Kimbo Slice, during a recent interview. Liddell is slated to fight Rashad Evans in the main event at UFC 85 in June, while slice is penciled in to anchor the debut of EliteXC on CBS against a yet to be confirmed opponent on May 31.
