Fast overnight ratings are out for Strikeforce. The overnights only measure the ratings from 8:00pm to 11:00pm, which means the numbers contained do not include the main event of the show. The main event started at about 11:02, so the entire main event was in the overrun, which was not mea...
Then that's when he came back with the Kimbo comment, saying I wasn't that spectacular. And then I came back with, "Well, for the last nine seasons, that's what you've told every fighter on the show to do, is just get the 'W' and make sure you don't get hurt. I was doing what I was told the last nine...
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...
Miller and Strikeforce light heavyweight Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal put on a pro wrestling exhibition during the workout. Gina Carano and Kimbo Slice have been the sole MMA fighters to breakout and become stars after having fought on CBS in Primetime.
New interview with WEC featherweight champion Mike Thomas Brown, who fights Jose Aldo later this month. While this bout has been mostly overshadowed by upcoming activity in the UFC and Strikeforce, this is perhaps the most compelling main event this month. A very competitive and intri...
Rumors have been swirling for the past month or so that TUF Season Ten poster-boy Kimbo Slice would make his official UFC debut against knockout artist Houston Alexander in December. Various reports had the fight taking place at UFC 107 in Memphis, or at the TUF 10 Finale in Las Vegas, and n...

Lesnar inspires hope. As does Kimbo. Kimbo inspires us because he would be another "rags-to-riches" type of story. I could root for Kimbo as the UFC Heavyweight Champion. In fact, I endorse Kimbo Slice for a shot at the belt. Not that anything I say has any effect on what is going to happen as I am no...
The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 began airing in September, featuring a cast of heavyweights including Kimbo Slice vying for a UFC contract. The fan interest and buzz surrounding the show was palpable, leading to a huge jump up the rankings for Kimbo as well as several other participants. Th...

There has been a lot of discussion about what exactly the UFC's plan is for TUF 10 contestant Kimbo Slice. Kimbo and Dana White have both stated that he will be fighting in the UFC again, most likely in December. Whether that will be at the TUF 10 finale or UFC 107 has not yet been determined. If t...

CBS actually did a very good job promoting EliteXC. They helped make Kimbo Slice and Gina Carano national stars, and contributed to media onslaughts before the first and third EliteXC shows that far surpassed what the UFC gets on a regular basis. What did the people at EliteXC expect? Th...
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...
The argument about whether this Kimbo-hate was really misdirected animosity for EliteXC and that promotion's business dealings is a discussion for another article. The fact of the matter is that a significant portion of the MMA fanbase rejected Kimbo as a legitimate mixed martial art...

First round was 44 punches to the face, and then (referee) Herb Dean doesn't know how to ref, but we've seen that before. And then the next round was 22 punches... You could even see me yelling at Herb Dean, "Come on, ref". But the thing is, there's a lot of people; there's a lot of money. Kimbo's the on...

Last night's The Ultimate Fighter season 10 episode went as expected for much of the MMA fanbase. Kimbo Slice showed a near non-existent ground game as he was unable to decipher the tactics that Roy Nelson used in order to gain mount and easily gain a crucifix position twice within the fight....
After a pretty packed summer for heavyweight action, the best on tap in the near future is tonight's Kimbo Slice vs #21 Roy Nelson on The Ultimate Fighter. 12 Alistair Overeem is the Strikeforce heavyweight champ and he may or may not return to defend it at some point soon.
I don't think so. Obviously, at the time that it happened it was great for me. But anyone who has ever watched The Ultimate Fighter sees that when they come off the show, they're completely different fighters. If Kimbo comes off, I would like to see him fight some stiffer competition.
There have been rumors for days about putting Kimbo against a standup fighter in December to give him a chance to get a knockout. Maybe it will work. But Kimbo will never be a competitive UFC fighter; he's too old to catch up in the wrestling and jiu-jitsu departments.
Bout report by Kid Nate: Just as all the participating Bloody Elbow staff members predicted, Roy Nelson beat Kimbo Slice by TKO on tonight's episode of The Ultimate Fighter. Regardless it was very reminiscent of Dan Miragliotta's failure to stop the fight on Kimbo's EliteXC CBS debut aga...

In the next episode of the Ultimate Fighter, Kimbo Slice will face the former IFL heavyweight champion, Roy Nelson. Fans still don't know who won the fight and the management have been tight-lipped on the results, but for what it's worth, they seem to be pretty impressed with Kimbo's per...

Now if this is true, this is a huge blow to Kimbo Slice's personality. The Street Certified image was something that the UFC and Elite XC were trying to get rid of, and try to make him an MMA fighter. I mean, Kimbo says he is a professional and he is there to fight, but obviously he still has not adap...
MMAFC: During this episode, you called Kimbo Slice a "veteran". Why did you call him that, and what did you mean by it? RN: Fighting Kimbo I was feeling I got shafted, since he was not the fighter I wanted. As for strategy that was simple one, stand up and bang with him.;)
We've already seen that Team Rashad has had their hands full with the veteran fighter and it appears that Roy Nelson is having a hard time being a coach-able student. Will his stubbornness be his downfall and give Kimbo the opportunity to surprise the MMA community by defeating the former I...

Pretending to be a friend and getting paid GOOD for my work? Ha ha, OK, lets see here.

I can't help myself, I'm really excited about the next season of the Ultimate Fighter. Kimbo is really the least of it. The UFC really outdid themselves by signing up some of the best heavyweight prospects in the country (and a couple of proven commodities too) for this season. I'm actually ro...
Kimbo Slice is not on the same level of any of the current UFC heavys. He does not have a ground game, and has never beat what many would call a formidable opponant. However, Slice does have his popularity and hype. No one in TUF history has ever had this type of following, popularity, and ento...

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...
There are so many ways to unpack this situation that we can't possibly get to them in a single post. However, it's worth contextualizing the matter. At every strange or notable interval, one should remind themselves of why matters have unfolded the way they have and what it tells us about the...
It isn't clear what Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker plans to do with Kimbo Slice when he launches his series of Showtime and CBS events this year. Sherdog reports: In other Kimbo news, MMA legend Bas Rutten will no longer be training Kimbo. From AOL Fan House:
After a controversial and lackluster TKO of James Thompson in May, Kimbo Slice hoped to rebound with a decisive victory over aging legend Ken Shamrock. Fans and media alike blasted the matchmaking leading up to the event. Shamrock, a pioneer of the sport, hadn't won a fight since 2004 and...

First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...

The Penn vs. Slice "fantasy match-up" is the product of UFC President Dana White's comment just prior to EliteXC's debut on CBS. White remarked that BJ Penn could defeat Slice in a MMA bout. The effort of White was to disparage Slice's talent level by suggesting a lightweight fighter in the UF...
