Kimbo was in some porno movie about 5 months ago that was a parody of Harold and Kumar, where he played the part of some guy who was threatening gay rape. Nice.

I agree that the UFC has done a great job of reframing Kimbo as an up and coming MMA fighter. Dana White once again shows why, love him, or depsise him, why he is the leading promoter of MMA in the business. Very clever….

There is an absolute world of difference between the UFC promoting Slice and Elite XC. The UFC is a promotion, yes, and there's definitely hype, and the hope for ratings and butts in seats, or PPV, but the UFC isn't propping him up; heck, they even let Kimbo fight a good opponent in just the 3rd ep. The UFC is doing a good job at reframing Kimbo as an up and coming MMA fighter, but Kimbo will ultimately win or lose on his own, not like XC which may have even offered Petruzelli a payoff to throw the fight. Big difference Iole, big difference. Once again, Kevin Iole demonstrates what a hack he is when it comes to MMA journalism.

After being hurt with a punch or two he took it to the mat and Kimbo was lucky the fight was not stoped in the first round due to lack of activity..................The story around kimbo is great and the UFC is showing it that it is more than just a fighting company it is an entertainment company that showing these guys are human like the rest of us...............ant the kimbo comment "The Inner Me" was great.......he had me thinking for a while.......thanks Kimbo Slice............or shall I say Kevin I beleive Roy Nelson fought the only fight he could.

I seen improvement and felt like the outcome may have been different if he had more training with Tiki. I did not like or dislike Kimbo prior to this season, but I like him now. I like that he is very eager to learn and doesn't give up or give in to defeat. Not to add on to the Roy Nelson jokes flying around, but seriously his belly was used as a weapon against Kimbo. I am surprised Kimbo didn't tap due to lack of air. I was impressed with Kimbo personally. I seen improvement and felt like the outcome may have been different if he had more training with Tiki.

After generating record ratings for the Season 10 opener, the Slice marketing push from the UFC has kicked into overdrive. White has already said Slice will fight again in the UFC, regardless of the outcome of the show. That may indicate that Slice fares better than expected in the show, but it runs counter to the way White has handled other TUF fighters. He has given contracts to fighters who didn’t win on TUF, but it came after the season, not just two weeks in. Slice will face former International Fight League champion Roy Nelson on Wednesday in a show the UFC and Spike TV are pushing so hard that they held a conference call with Slice on Monday. They’re touting it as the biggest fight in TUF history, which is saying a mouthful since White himself credits the TUF 1 finale between Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin with saving the company. Unless Slice somehow defeats Nelson – and I can’t see how he can – it’s extremely hypocritical of White to give Slice a second shot in the UFC based simply on his popularity. If Slice wins and defeats Nelson, who is my pick to win the season and earn the UFC contract, then giving him a contract to fight in the UFC is fine. Other than that, though, giving him a contract is buying into the marketing hype that White so venomously ripped Elite XC for. If Slice loses and proves not to be a capable mixed martial artist, putting him in the UFC regardless would bring to mind the infamous quote made many years ago by boxing promoter Bob Arum: “Yesterday, I was lying.

If that's the case will he really be wecomed back by the UFC?
