I think it is safe to say that Kimbo will get another shot on TUF. But, is that really fair to other competetors on the show? Most of the time, you lose and you are out. But, in recent past seasons (and soon to be this one) if you are a media draw and lose, you get another shot. I don't see how it is even remotely fair. I'm pretty sure that more people tried out for the show than what is actually on it so they should let those guys have a crack at it if they need a replacement. Truth is, I don't beleive they are looking for a great fighter, they want a great show. And that's fine, but Dana should'nt act like he is looking for a superstar. If he was, he would'nt back 20-something year old men into a house together and supply it with alcohol. No real athlete drinks and parties during the week. This is so we can have drama at home. I really like Kimbo as a person. He is humble, down to earth, a family man, and he is doing what he has to do to feed that huge family. But, if Dana wants him in the UFC he should let him fight in the UFC, but under no circumstance should fighters who lose be allowed to compete again for the UFC contract on the show. I am already complaining about this because I predicted it before this season even started. Kimbo would lose and be brought back, and if they can't find a reason they will make one. Best of luck to Kimbo in the future, but truth is, you're out.:smoke
I believe that it's up to the Coach who to bring back and fight. Considering that Rampage loves Kimbo... I wouldn't be surprised if he would want to bring him back over the others.
If that is outlined in the rules then that is cool. But if not, they should give everyone a second shot and drag the show on out.
It would be great for Kimbo not to be totally **** but it aint going to happen. The guy is great but he certainly aint no mma fighter.
hate to burst your bubble but Kimbo is NOT great he has no power isnt that accurate and has zero ground game. I do like him as a man though, respectful, good humored, philysophical, but he is just not that good of a fighter. Whatever happened to alternates? Didn't they used to be used?
I'm more concerned with the rumors that Slice was allowed to bring members of his entourage and family with him to Las Vegas, unlike any other single memeber of this or seasons of TUF past. That Dana White might make that exception or that Slice would be okay with it is bothersome.
I havent followed the series but im not surprised to hear that Kimbo lost. He is more at home in bar brawls or street fights.
I think mentally he trys to fight like a street fight and that doesn't work against athletes. He's physically able but it's his strategy is wrong.
