Kimbo Slice

By Gary Herman Coming up at UFC 107, Frank Mir is set to take on fellow heavyweight Cheick Kongo, but Mir is not taking the challenge all that seriously. The match up with Kongo will be Mir’s first fight since losing to Brock Lesnar at UFC 100. Mir was hoping that he would be in a bout that was a little more import...

By Mark Chalifoux I think Hamill is a pretty decent fighter and I thought this would be a good test for Jones. Instead, he ran right through Hamill. Even though he lost, this has to move him up in the rankings. It's time to throw him into the mix and get him a top-10 light heavyweight spot.

By Kid Nate The finishing combination is the best I have ever seen from Kimbo. Smelling blood, he dialed in a 1-2-3 and a quick, straight right to the jaw sent Tank to the floor for good. The clean-up left hook missed, but it had murder on it. We'll see if Kimbo has improved his game against Houston Alexander...

By Leland Roling One of the more anticipated bouts of the evening for many of the casual fans will be the showdown between Youtube sensation and former street brawler Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (3-1) and the heavy-handed Houston Alexander (9-4, 2-3 UFC). Kimbo's rise to fame from his street fighting vi...

By TLow The more I think about it, the more I can’t see the long term logic in the UFC’s pursuing Kimbo Slice.   The short-term benefit is pretty obvious. This season of TUF has enjoyed some great ratings. That means Spike can command a higher price for advertising slots, and it gives Dana White a large a...

By Michael Rome In 2008, Dana White bet on Brock Lesnar while Gary Shaw bet on Kimbo Slice.  White gambled on Lesnar because he hoped that Lesnar's amateur wrestling background and size advantage would make him competitive in an otherwise weak division.  It was a big gamble, and it paid off in spades.  The...

By Mark Chalifoux It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter and one fighter was less than impressive. And that fighter was Roy “Big Country” Nelson. As predicted, Roy Nelson took out Kimbo Slice. But it was... It was billed as the biggest fight in the history of The Ultimate Fighter an...

By Mitch Ciccarelli When YouTube street-fighting sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson burst onto the MMA scene in late 2007 he brought with him a ton of hype and attention from mainstream media. Elite XC promoter Gary Shaw hand-fed the bare-knuckle brawler lower tier opponents such as Bo Cantrell and out...

By Brent Brookhouse Luke Thomas: According to our rankings with USA Today, Nelson is ranked 20th in the world among professional heavyweights. Nelson's talents? He's strong, mostly durable, by Kimbo's standards a phenomenal grappler and has meaningful experience. And Kimbo Slice? He punches really hard....

By Mike Fagan It's an opportunity for me to prove myself as a mixed martial artist." - Kimbo Slice, who was announced this week as a contestant on the Ultimate Fighter 10. (Cage Writer) I have to be more disciplined." - Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, prior to his bout with Brett Rogers.  Ro...

By Luke Thomas The great irony in watching Dana White six months talk about how Kimbo Slice is bad for MMA is that now he’s Kimbo’s biggest pusher in the business. All the guys who tried to work with Kimbo Slice to make him into something in MMA (I’m looking at you, Bas Rutten) have to be shaking their heads and...

By Nick Thomas http://www.sportsnet.ca/bios/macdonald_jason/ Saturday night, Kimbo Slice finally got exposed for what most of us knew all along. He was built up by the internet, but he isn't that far along as an MMA fighter. James Thompson exposed him on the ground in his last fight, and Seth Petruzelli f...

By brentbrookhouse From Franklin McNeil's column on ESPN: After repeated calls from ESPN.com, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation -- which oversees the State Boxing Commission -- said Thursday that it has opened a preliminary investigation into the matter.

By Mark Chalifoux EliteXC managed to find the only person more fragile than Kimbo Slice’s last opponent, James “Colossus” Thompson, in former MMA fighter Ken Shamrock. The only problem was that Shamrock is so fragile he was injured during the warm-up, thus pitting Kimbo Slice...

By Terry Henson Make no mistake (or listen to the EliteXC spin), this was a disaster for Slice and the company. True, but Kimbo wasn’t defeated by a crafty Brazilian jiu-jitsu master. He wasn’t caught in a submission by an experienced wrestler. He didn’t lose a decision after a three-round brawl.

By Luke Thomas Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson vs. Ken Shamrock Mike Rome: Berto via TKO, round 1. Brent Brookhouse: Borgomeo by submission. Mike Rome: Jackowski via Submission, Round 3. Brent Brookhouse: Cury by submission. Mike Rome: Cury via Submission, Round 2. Chris Nelson: Cury via Submission, Round 1.

By bfowlkes This fight will prove nothing for Kimbo’s credibility. Even Elite XC has to see that. After this they’ll load up for one big pay-per-view with Kimbo vs. Brett Rogers as the main event, figuring it’s time to go all-in. They have no choice. Antonio Silva is dealing with his steroid charges, Justin...

Kampmann tries to resume ascent Las Vegas Review - Journal, NV - SLICE FIGHT SCHEDULED -- The good news for MMA fans is that Kimbo Slice finally will step into the cage with a well-rounded fighter that has had success at ...

By J Wright Most fans saw Kimbo Slice for the first time when he fought Ray Mercer about eight months ago.  He took him out within the beginning of the first round.  Then came Kimbo vs. Thompson, and I will admit I was pretty anxious to see Kimbo fight because I expected it to be a one-hit win since Thompson...

By Eddie Goldman On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman reviews the CBS and EliteXC Saturday Night Fights card, which took place Saturday, May 31, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and was shown live in the U.S. on CBS. We continue our discussion of the Pygmalion-like story of Kim...

That. Was. Awesome! And possibly somewhat staged. Obviously, even to a novice MMA fan such as myself, the point of this primetime broadcast wasn’t to display the kick ass skills of MMA fighters. It was meant to be a circus sideshow in which physical freak and Youtube sensation Kimbo Slice merc...

That’s right, on May 31, 2008 EliteXC’s inaugural Saturday Night of Fight’s went down at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.  We’re talking about Scott Smith vs. Robbie Lawler for the EliteXC Middleweight Championship, Gina Carano vs. Kaitlin Young, and Kimbo Slice vs. James Thom...

By Sam Caplan Kimbo Slice vs. Tank Abbott wasn’t the only big fight to take place in combat sports this past weekend. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that Kelly Pavlik recorded a unanimous decision victory over Jermain Taylor in a non-title match this past Saturday at the MGM Grand in Vegas.

By Adam Morgan EliteXC and Gary Shaw better do everything they can to keep Kimbo Slice with EliteXC. Kimbo is helping them build their brand right now and they are riding the wave of his popularity. If another promotion comes along and nabs Kimbo away from EliteXC it would be very bad news for them. It would be...
