He should have kept his mouth shut instead of talking **** about the guy and then signing him. The world and its wife KNEW Kimbo has no place in MMA. But Kimbo still did **** in TUF but yet he gets a contract? How does that make ANY sense when EliteXC were promoting the **** out of him for the very same reasons that Dana railed against?
Because they were using Kimbo as their golden child and had him promoted him as their main draw. They put all their eggs in one basket with him and after he lost .......well you know what happened to Elite XC.
Whats that go to do with anything? If EliteXC were dumb enough to market there org off the back of a Youtube gimmick thats there business. The facts remain Dana talked a ton of **** about Kimbo and then gave him a contract. Im pretty sure if you was a fighter on TUF you'd have been pissed to. Dana wanted part of the gravy train end of story end of thread.
Dana's exact words were if Kimbo were ever to get in the UFC he would have to go through TUF not win it. So Kimbo actually did it and got his contract. If Dana wanted the gravy train he would still have Kimbo but he cut him....so I guess the gravy didn't mean that much to him.
I take it you've convinently forgotten all the smack he talked about Kimbo before he was in EliteXC? Kimbo didnt because he mentioned it on TUF. Now i was under the impression that winners of TUF get a UFC contract. Not the looser who was a monumental failure. But then again that failure gave TUF record audiences. Like i said Dana gravy train all the way. If you cant see that then you seriously need help.
Um may be you didnt notice that the criteria for TUF is a pro record. Kimbo barely even qualifys unless you want to wax on semantics which is precisely what your doing. I guess its by mere coincidence that no one else from TUF put so many bums on seats..
