He is a fighter and not a mma yet like he even said. KSlice did not do what he knows on wensday and thats let the bombs go. Looks to me he was thinking to much and worried about mma instead of fighting. He is humble and a bad mofo regardless. I respect every fighter who steps into the cage win lose draw or dbags blowin them into a giant when they are still green.

I have many friends that I went to college with or grew up with that have got thier azz beat and have not done much in the IFL or UFC and had all kinds of training. Josh Haynes, Mike Whitehead, Devon Cole, and a few other names that have a huge background. I have myself done some smokers(amatuer fights) and even though I am 4-0 I would never consider myself anyhthing but a hobbyist of the game. Nor would I ever disrespect another fighter. I hate when people talk sh1t or boo fighters when all they do is drink beer and watch or go to the keyoard and talk about how sh1tty these fighters are. Fine to give Opinions but to never put your neck on the line and badmouth fighters is just music with no sounds.

Brock

Do I think he got a early shot at they belt? Yes but he given the chance did something with it and now holds it as the champ. He is beatable but it wont be a walk in the park for the next man. The heavy division is kind of treading water at the moment but will be back soon enough flooded with better fighters.

I only wish Fedor would have signed, but he has his reasons and I respect him to sticking to his guns on what he believes...

I never really post to these UFC/MMA threads becuase its just opinions and never really means much but one thing I could say is have some respect for the guys that make the sport what it is that you enjoy to watch.

Don't assume that those posting have no background or education in the field...

Before the Gracies we simply called "MMA" by the jujitsu term "shia", or the sub/ wrestling term "shootfighting" or "shooting".

I started wrestling in 1985, got my taekwondo dan in 1996 and cross trained in danzan ryu jujitsu, and kajukenbo. I also fancy myself a bit of a boxing historian. I am no hack when the subject of sport fighting comes up. i am very comfortable talking history and theory.

I am not "hating on" Kimbo Slice. I am not entertained by his pro fights. I disapprove of the whole youtube/ sublimedirectory internet "streetfighting" thing. I am very wary of his manager Mike Ember. Porn managers don't have a history of looking out for their talents best interests. The whole situation looks as sleazy and smarmy as boxing did 100 years ago.

I sincerely hope that we aren't talking about bankrupt or destitute Kimbo in 10 years.
