and would do anything for money... http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/kimbo-offered-tuf-slot-867499/ He'll contradict himself in a heart beat... this is the guy who told the media that kimbo is a bum.. the same guy who said that fedor wasn't even ranked. (but if fedor would fight for the ufc , he'd call him the best fighter on the planet) He's a double talk expert. One thing i can't tke away from him is that he's a hardcore businessman and that he was right about the eliteXC case...
Why wouldn't he sign him for tough, hge has a few mma fights and a name, he has said he isn't good enough to fight in the ufc so far so tuf is the ideal area to see if he can make it. The main fact is he gets money and publicity if kimbo does well or badly.
It'd be great if they took the heavyweight leftovers from EliteXC and put them on TUF. I think Brett Rodgers and Kimbo both on the show along with maybe Giant Silva and some other prospects. Too bad they've already used Nog as a coach because Randy vs. Nog as coaches leading up to their fight (assuming they both win, which I think they will) seems like something they'd do. It'd be fun to watch too.
thats one thing i cant understand about dana, he contradicts himself more times than i've had hot dinners. he only bigs up the fighters in the UFC and disses everyone else. he makes a fool of himself. when fedor destroyed sylvia in 30 seconds, dana said i will give fedor the respect he deserves...he is now a top 5 heavyweight in the world but in no way a p4p fighter. first thing, which 4 other heavyweights can you name who have accomplished what fedor has in mma? no one! thats lie number one. this guy is so good that p4p he should be p4p1. not only becos of his incredibaly long streak but becos of his all round skills. peace
Dana is a hypocrite, but he isn't a hypocrite for putting Kimbo on TUF (if he does.) TUF is for up and comers looking to make it in the UFC, not for already UFC caliber fighters. Look how many fighters get onto TUF and never get a UFC fight, and never become anything at all. Plus, it'll be great for ratings and hell, after what he has been through, Kimbo probably deserves a shot at TUF anyways. He has some wins on his record after all. Dana saying he isn't good enough to be a UFC fighter doesnt mean he isnt good enough for TUF.
kimbo wont go near tuf, he earned 500 grand for the seth fight and i thinkwinning a fight in tuf gets you 5 grand, i know he could get the contract but why take the risk when he can go to japan and earn big bucks fighting bums again as for dana the guy is a dick, a great business man but a complete wanker, he has been lucky in life and should admit fedor is p4p number one in mma
He has put worse guys on TUF, he still says Kimbo sucks, where does hypocracy come into play. He will have to fight real fighters, he won't have fights fixed for him, he won't be anything but the next Andy Wang, who would probably beat him. But hey, don't let silly little things like the truth get in the way of your little circle jerk of hatred.
Look at how quickly he gave Lesnar a title shot. Its all about the money and i would'nt be surpised one bit to see Kimbo in the UFC.
This is laughable. Kimbo is a Glass Jawed side show cirus freak. Dana White is a clown I remember him saying Fedor was not even a top ten Heavyweight. The guy is an idiot and a joke he will do anything to make a buck just like the other guys he is always criticizing do. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl
is there any proper source? All the sherdog thread says is it could happen. Here is a source I found, says its only a rumor though. Petruzelli vs. Slice K1 NYE http://www.cagepotato.com/2008/10/29/kimbopetruzelli-ii-rumored-for-k-1-nye-show/#more-3047
This is all just hearsay, guys. Dana said that he would accept Kimbo into the UFC if he entered TUF. There has been no news that Kimbo has been in talks to enter TUF. Beyond that - when the hell was the last time they even had a heavyweight TUF? And Dana White is a genius in saying he would put Kimbo on TUF. Ratings would go through the roof.
