    I heard Kimbo has arthritis is his knees. Normally I'd see about ten to fifteen solid leg kicks to buckle a guy but it only took about four for Kimbo. If the arthritis thing is true then he has no business being in the octogon.

    So they could use him in their UFC video games. Plus his fights guaranteed a good audience as there was still alot of intrigue on how he'd fare in the UFC. Evidence of that being Spike getting record numbers when he was on TUF10 and the finale peak audience coming during Kimbo's fight.

    Funny how Dana White always would refer to Kimbo as a bum, but he had no hesistation using him as the main tool to promote the **** out of TUF10. It was obvious Kimbo was never going to make it in the UFC from TUF10 but after the record numbers White was more than happy to sign him up and put him on some major cards. Suddenly Kimbo became a respected MMA fighter, according to White, Rogan and everyone else working for the UFC. Shameless, but hey they're businessmen after all.

    Now that they've used up all of Kimbo's commercial appeal after his bad loss, they toss him away like a piece of garbage. Good luck to them signing Fedor in the future. Just hope Kimbo is getting a good percentage for the use of his image in those games. He certainly was paid a pittance in his two fights compared to the numbers he helped generate on TUF.

    Publicity. Give him an easy run and build up some hype. The sad fact is he hasn't improved at all, and they only way they can get him a win is to give him an absolute can with a glass jaw and no stamina. Even then, Thomspon nearly beat him.

    Why would anyone expect a 35 year old "street thug" to improve. White never should have signed him. He only did it to make money off Kimbo nothing more or less. If anything Whites the one that looks like the ***** here.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, mentally he folds in terms of courage and strategy. I think he picks up manouvers well but it don't mean **** if you can't execute. It's the mind that executes. Kimbo ain't got it. Credit Meathead as he looked quite good. Decent strikes and some good grappling.

    Doesnt even matter? For Kimbo to get as far as he did personally for him has to be a massive achievement. Should he have been signed by the UFC let alone even be in MMA at that level? Hell no.

    Why is he a *****? Kimbo's the guy taking the fans money, even though he's never going to be good enough to earn it... but for Kimbo, he's just trying to feed his kids, so it's okay - but the for the President of a company to try whatever he can to further the recognition of his organization, he's a *****?

    If Dana's a *****, so is Kimbo.
