Opinion: Ultimate Fighter 10 Notebook: Will Kimbo Change Weight Divisions?

06 Dec 2009 01:53:08 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: Thoughts on The Ultimate Fighter finale

06 Dec 2009 01:08:13 PST

Written 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.

Opinion: Bloody Elbow Judo Chop: The Questionable Boxing Technique of Kimbo Slice

04 Dec 2009 07:25:23 PST

Written 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...

Written 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...

Opinion: The Long-Term Kimbo Game

02 Nov 2009 21:09:32 PST

Written 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...

Opinion: "Kimbo Slice Sucks"...Does It Matter?

01 Oct 2009 19:25:32 PDT

Written 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...

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...

Opinion: Pushback on the UFC's Use of Kimbo Slice on "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 10

04 Jun 2009 12:25:58 PDT

Written 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...

Opinion: Final Curtain on the KIMBO BS SHOW!

05 Oct 2008 08:49:51 PDT

Written 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.

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...

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.
