    as much as id like kimbo to win tuf he is going to get outwrestled down the line, most folk dont like him due to the fact he has made more money than most fighters dream of

    Tough titty thats life. Create your own destiny or get in line. You cant complain. Kimbo will fail on TUF but he'll continue to get paid. The only reason why anyone will be watching this is because of Kimbo and not anyone else.

    I hope Kimbo gives a good account of himself too, he seems a cool guy, Scurla.

    His attitude's very good, not afraid of challenges, he really showed alot of bottle by entering TUF.

    He's a success story, I like that.

    I know Kimbo got caught. And it didn't look particular devastating. But he walked right into the punch.

    Couple that with the fact that Slice should have never taken the fight in the first place. YOU DON"T DO THAT!!! Sam Stout didn't take a replacement last night.

    He trained for Shamrock....and he would have beaten Shamrock.

    On top of THAT ...the fight was stopped just a bit premature anyway. Sure Kimbo was rocked and probably woulda been stopped anyhow....but he should have been given more of a chance to answer back.

    While Petruzelli isn't a world beater.......he's not a complete bum and has wins against experienced guys.

    Kimbo's problems are cardio and takedown defense. If he gets those two things down....he'lll be a handful, especially in the heavyweight division.

    I've always been a supporter. I've never claimed that he was the real deal, nor have I claimed he's merely a side show. Regardless of how he does on TUF he can continue to progress. Maybe he becomes a contender, maybe not.

    Saying it was premature is just as crazy as saying he was ko'd by a jab. Kimbo was hit mid power swing by a jab, and went to his knees. Kimbo made a couple of attempts to stand, before numerous punches to the side of the head had him in a yoga like boat pose.

    Kimbo's very good, he beat James Thompson is a classic fight back and forth battle to the very end. He was completely exhausted at the end and had to lay down in the cage. He's for real.

    Man i hope kimbo has learned takedown defense cuz they would try to take him down right away. The season is actually exciting cuz of kimbo. I hope he whoops some azz in there. He should get couple of wins at least. They do have ex nfl players in there:lol:

    Rampage is hilarious.

    TITTIES.

    Abe Wagner is a terrible fighter and that Marcus bloke ain't much better. That is one of the worst fights ever.

    Yup they were both pretty ****. Just big for nothing. Rampage is a joker though. I think they've asked him and Rashad to go at it though. Both have quite colourful personalitys which makes for excellent viewing.

    I think that no matter what happens at tuf , we'll eventually still see his ass in the UFC. He's just too much of a cashcow for Dana to let him go...

    No question about that. The first episode broke all records for TUF. Namely because of Rampage and the fact Kimbo is on it. People have to give Kimbo props. People simply want to see him fight. The guy puts bums on seats. He's going to put alot of faces out of joint if he does sign him and Kimbo will positively fail but everyones rooting for him. It really doesnt matter what happens on TUF Kimbo WILL get his be it in the UFC or elsewhere. Would be great if Strikeforce could swoop in and pick him up :lol: I just dont see how Dana can explain away a signing like Kimbo.
