k Ultimate fighter 10 already happended rigght?? all these are just are just being aired for the first time on t.v? my question is DOes KIMBO fight again and WHO WINS ultimate fighter?? if i aint Kimbo i dont care then LOL
Dana didn't even start making them fight their way into the house until seasons 8 and 9. It's not like he changed it just for Kimbo! Who gives a shit. Besides, why would you want to take the risk of NOT watching Kimbo on the show. And as for bad timing.....this heavyweight season is perfect timing!! The UFC needs some contenders for the oversized ape, Lesnar.
yeah but u complaing about how kimbo should earn his way into the house.. but you weren't complaing how the other fighters on the show should earn thier way into the house to
Thats fuckin gay KIMBO should earn his spot....he is just a street brawler plus i bet some one is gonna kick his ass on the tuf 10...SRRY kimbo fans but he is one lucky SOB he didnt have to fight for his position.
Fat White guy is the Underdog for sure but some of you may not know he is a great fighter, and I believe he got robbed when he fought Arlovski.
They shouldn't have been stood up that was bullshit if it were a street fight Roy it would have gone for much longer btu Roy would have exhausted Arlovski with his fatness and eventually would have finished him.
Yes he did. I've seen footage of it on this sight. He said those exact words as a matter of fact: "Kimbo Slice sucks." He was interviewed right after Kimbo lost and the Elite XC was being investigated for fixing fights, and he said that Kimbo sucks.
obv they want Kimbo in the house. Why are they gonna promote TUF 10 Evans vs Jackson and Kmbo, and risk him loosing the first elimination fight.
MMA is now commercial and is at it's peak. Dana picked the right time to get this bum on the show. That beigng said, Dana White has sold out and he's gonna make bank off it.
If NFL rejects start making into the UFC that will be the lowest point.
An NFL reject has already made it into the UFC his name is Brock Lesnar. He tried out for the NFL and failed before he went to MMA. MMA is not at its peak MMA is still growing, it has reached a level of success but still has alot of room for growth, it has yet to reach its full potential.
I think they gave up elimination fights cause of dave falkner & the that U.S guy with the hurt ankle . Dave falkner bitching out during a fight and the other U.S guy decideing not to fight . I'd rather see fighters on TUF who wont give up without going out in a bang . Also i remember that U.S guy saying something like , they would have to tie him up or something to stop him from fighting ..and look at what he did...quit and lied to him team mates saying he told dana he wanted to fight..lol
isnt this the first tuf to have an all heavyweight class? this a smart move in my opinion because if lesnar beats mir, whos gonna stop him? valesquez or kongo?LOL. they need to grow some new freak athelete heavyweights to compete with lesnar,as it appears fedor is never coming to the ufc. The heavyweight division to me is thin talent wise. so why not give guys with tremedous potential such as ex-nfl freaks who match lesnar size wise a chance to come in slowly and be good ltr instead of riskng it
It's a win win situation. If Kimbo loses it proves to all his fanboys that he was shit and UFC is better. If he wins the UFC has a star that will bring in profits.
The competition will be stiff this season with guys like Big Country. Even without house elimnations I don't think Kimbo will win.
i agree, and yeah it is bull shit that they have no eliminations, i guess dana knows for a fact, kimbo might loose his first fight, depending on who it is, imean kimbo has a couple fighters to worry about, big country obviously one of them, and marcus jones, i mean jones for an ex football player, he has like 4 wins by 1st round ko and a kimura win. so alot of pressure on kimbo
i mean the guy fought bums in backyard brawls, that doesnt show hes a martial artest, i mean taking a big step into mma like that, obviously your not going to be ready lol..
sorry watching tv thats why i cant respond right away, but ya i mean whats kimbo slices's base??? its true everyone has a punchers chance, just not kimbo ;p i cant believe some fans that hype kimbo up, say he has good standup, maybe against people that cant fight, he will have shitstand up against some of thesefighters in tuf 10, it will really show if kimbo has what it takes to get into the best organization in the world.
Ya, the biggest thing he'll be able to do is give someone else is a win over him that will help spring board their career. A nice little stepping stone. :D
Dana White has said that Kimbo won't get any special treatment, but it is very fishy they all of the sudden got rid of the house eliminations. Dana knows what sells and what doesn't, and it would definitely cost them some ratings if Kimbo didn't even make it into the house. Still, there is no real evidence to say they got rid of house elimination fights just for kimbo.
I agree that it is better to watch them fight to get into the house. But I don't think that they are eliminating that to give Kimbo "special treatment." I think it is simply the fact that heavyweights are hard to come by right now, and 16 guys was all they could or wanted to get their hands on. If they would have tried for 32 guys, alot of them would most prob. have sucked. PEACE OUT
exactly...a TRAINING bandwagon. not a FIGHTING bandwagon. look around locally. how many amature do you see? now how many of those are heavyweights that are in "good" fighting condition. this gives you an idea that there are WAAAYYY more fighters that are NOT heavyweight. btw my mom isn't training lol
Perhaps he does need to fight to get in. Maybe what they are saying is "Yes, he will get the oppertunity to be in TUF10" rather than him just gettin a guaranted place :P
No, but if he trains to be able to jog 3 miles non stop it will be a huge improvement because cardio means a lot. It would mean he won't gas out on take down defences and keeping up the rythm. It is just my opinion. He should have great striking, clinch, good cardio, good take down defence and decent wrestling and basic jiu jitsu jiu/ground escape. Cardio is a great advantage.
Why waste a guy who can draw a ton of viewers and money? If he gets his ass kicked, Dana can say "i told you so". Either way, White is going to make a lot of money off of Kimbo. It was a business decision, plain and simple.
by taking away the pre lim fights makes me think there gonna line the show with bums that kimbo can walk through in order to manufacture yet another potential posterboy fighter
Taking away the elimination fights at the beginning shows how much faith they have in Kimbo.
Having Kimbo on will definitely draw big ratings though. The Kimbo hype machine was built so well that I still see large numbers of people talking up Kimbo as if he's the baddest motherfucker since Mike Tyson in his prime.
I think this is the best move that Kimbo can take right now. He just better show up as a serious student and not have this 'I'm better than all of you' attitude.
I think that the whole season would be a bust if Kimbo got beat during the prelims. I also do not like the prelims because some guys have easy fights and get into the house while other, better fighters do not.
as for kimbo i think most people underestimate him
i heard hes been taking bjj so he should at least be able to survive on the ground and his striking has always been his strong suit so hes got as good of a shot as anybody
I dont think its a big deal leaving the prelims out. they probably couldnt find that many good heavyweights anyway. man everyones gonna be gunning for kimbo, hope hes got his cardio going, cuz he gets winded all the time. if he was younger i think he would have a chance to win, but he's not and he started in the sport too late. either way im gonna be rooting for the guy. listen to some of his interviews, hes not the thug or bully hes portrayed to be.
kimbo is getting special treatment because i think he might not wint he elimination matches. I watch some UFC, definetly not as much as u but i can tell that even kimbo will have a rought time against some of the people there. Plus since kimbo has more "street cred" coming into the UFC then anyone else that act might be justifiable. Not really.
I'd hate to see Kimbo land a shot on some magazine and become the face of MMA... it'd be such a joke. Good points about how well he'll hang with other true HWs. I remember when he went to train at Couture's a rumor got out that Forrest Griffin KOed him in some sparring, so he's suspect in a lot of areas.
wtf, no more elimination fights? i honestly don't think kimbo will make it far at all. he gasses and can't compete w/ higher lvl fighters. this is one reason why i think dana is a douche. he'll talk shit bout somebody til he's got them under contract then he's all buddy buddy. good business move yah but really a downgrade overall for UFC.
That's true. That's why when he's bashing a fighter take it with a grain of salt because he might turn around and hire that guy. Hell, even happened with Tito.
I pretty much agree with. It is horseshit that there is no preliminary match-ups. And they are just trying to do a freakin' celebrity show. I mean they have a past NFL Star. Although Kimbo gets a little too much shit. I think he deserves some respect. I mean the dude hasn't been brash like Junie or Leben. In all the interviews I have seen he has been respectable. Plus he is training. I think he has a great chance. I mean he beat James Thomson and Tank Abott. I think he has a great shot in TUF.
Kimbo is going on TUF to prove himself. I think Dana White and Kimbo's management did an amazing job getting this worked out. In a win-win for both parties.
I don't know if I'd count the James fight as a win... but otherwise good points. He seems so low key in interviews that it makes me think that'll transfer to the house.
When do u think TUF 10 will start? ive only been watching the past two seasons but there was only like a month or so break in between them. do they always come out with the next season that quick?
do u(or anyone) know anywhere i could watch the old seasons? and i agree that its BS that theyre taking out the fights to get on the show. if anything they should add another round, that they dont have to put on TV, just to make sure the best fighters get their chance
Thanks man. That could be anything... I've heard people say Gina in WEC, Roy Jones to fight Silva, Cung Le signed to the UFC. Hopefully it's something bigger than Kimbo being on TUF.
Read my comment below. I heard from a legitimate source on Sherdog, as far as a guy that has been spot on as far as breaking news early, with connections to the UFC, but apparently its a deal with Pepsi.
Wait TUF 7?? Thought it was TUF 10 lol Anyway, I hope Kimbo makes it to the UFC and just gets KO'd by Shane Carwin real quick LOL Justice will be SERVED! I think Bobby Lashley should sign for TUF 10 as well. Not to be racist but I know there will be some ignorant blacks saying ''OH KIMBO'S GONNA RUN THROUGH ALL THEM!'' and other steriotypical people like that..
i don't know much about the rules and technics of the fighting systems and quals but change is not always a good thing. Seems to me though that elimination fights were to important to cut out without getting people mad :|
Are you serious their getting rid of elimination fight? Well who is gonna know who is a real fighter. Also I think Bobby Lashley is going to be in it.
Solid Video Cody. Yeah I don't like that aspect either, however, its ratings. Dana wants the views, and he knows he is going to get them. Like you said in the description, the first solid wrestler, or striker he faces will give him problems. We will have to see how far he goes.
Thanks Chase. Ratings are important, but I wonder if Dana grasps how this will effect the UFC in the long run. A lot of WWE fans think the UFC is just another version of sports entertainment, and you feed into those lies when you bring in a guy who was in a semi fixed fight (Seth was encouraged to stand) and give him special treatment.
FYI, the special meeting that Dana had is supposedly a deal with Pepsi. While that may not be big as far as signing a fighter, that is huge for MMA, because that means more mainstream exposure.
Ah that sounds pretty tight. I was thinking it was probaly Gina Carona and Cyborg going to WEC. If it is Fedor though I will mark out like I never have before.
It seems Dana White is a businessman 1st. What does this mean? He can talk shit about you 1 day and sign you the next day with the highest praise. I personally can't wait to see how Kimbo interacts with other contestants socially in the house. DRAMA!
that gets a good honest WTF? No eliminations to get into the house! Honestly . Thats straight up Dana white Horseshit!! mightyseek does have a point though!! I am interested in how Kimbo does though.
It's cool they got Kimbo to fight but with the Ultimate Fighter it could be a diaster especially if he gets beat some Johnny no name. Hopefully they can get Seth too but I think he's already with Strikeforce.
I think the reason they arent fighting their way into the house is that this season is purely for the heavy weights, and its probably hard enough to get 16 heavyweights that are even reasonably good, but finding 32 is probably quite a challenge.
That's why I said I thought he could actually win that fight to get into the house because they would be mostly scrubs. Why not give all the guys a chance to add on to their hilight reels.
I agree with what you said 100000%. It pisses me off 2. When I first heard this all I could think was that there giving Kimbo a free pass to get into the show no matter what. It's a great business move yes. The Ultimate Fighter is getting ridiculous now to begin with. It's becoming less about actual competition and more about spectacle more and more each season, so this Kimbo move makes sense.
Ya, their integrity is going down in hopes that the ratings will go up. I also heard someone say that his fight will be the last fight of the first fights, just to make sure people are watching right until the last moment in case he loses and they lose interest.
I don't see why they would give Kimbo special treatment yet they won't sign Fedor even though he can fight. I think Kimbo will do alright in the TUF but I have a feeling that even if he looses that the UFC will sign him still.
wholey shit he looks like forrest griifen

wtf, no more elimination fights? i honestly don't think kimbo will make it far at all. he gasses and can't compete w/ higher lvl fighters. this is one reason why i think dana is a douche. he'll talk shit bout somebody til he's got them under contract then he's all buddy buddy. good business move yah but really a downgrade overall for UFC.

That's true. That's why when he's bashing a fighter take it with a grain of salt because he might turn around and hire that guy. Hell, even happened with Tito.

I pretty much agree with. It is horseshit that there is no preliminary match-ups. And they are just trying to do a freakin' celebrity show. I mean they have a past NFL Star. Although Kimbo gets a little too much shit. I think he deserves some respect. I mean the dude hasn't been brash like Junie or Leben. In all the interviews I have seen he has been respectable. Plus he is training. I think he has a great chance. I mean he beat James Thomson and Tank Abott. I think he has a great shot in TUF.

Kimbo is going on TUF to prove himself. I think Dana White and Kimbo's management did an amazing job getting this worked out. In a win-win for both parties.

I don't know if I'd count the James fight as a win... but otherwise good points. He seems so low key in interviews that it makes me think that'll transfer to the house.

Thanks... the fade is coming back! You should check out a few past seasons... I'm a big fan TUF 1, 2, 5, and 7.
Noyjeetut 2 years ago
do u(or anyone) know anywhere i could watch the old seasons? and i agree that its BS that theyre taking out the fights to get on the show. if anything they should add another round, that they dont have to put on TV, just to make sure the best fighters get their chance
totz2 2 years ago
i agree 100% cody. But like you said, atleast it's ratings. I wonder what the other big deal Dana was talking about in the WEC vlog is?
Questionere 2 years ago
Thanks man. That could be anything... I've heard people say Gina in WEC, Roy Jones to fight Silva, Cung Le signed to the UFC. Hopefully it's something bigger than Kimbo being on TUF.

Read my comment below. I heard from a legitimate source on Sherdog, as far as a guy that has been spot on as far as breaking news early, with connections to the UFC, but apparently its a deal with Pepsi.

Wait TUF 7?? Thought it was TUF 10 lol Anyway, I hope Kimbo makes it to the UFC and just gets KO'd by Shane Carwin real quick LOL Justice will be SERVED! I think Bobby Lashley should sign for TUF 10 as well. Not to be racist but I know there will be some ignorant blacks saying ''OH KIMBO'S GONNA RUN THROUGH ALL THEM!'' and other steriotypical people like that..

Thanks... corrected it. Keep forgetting there have been so many TUFs. Ya, I hope a quality fighter beats him and feeds off of his fame.

i don't know much about the rules and technics of the fighting systems and quals but change is not always a good thing. Seems to me though that elimination fights were to important to cut out without getting people mad :|

Are you serious their getting rid of elimination fight? Well who is gonna know who is a real fighter. Also I think Bobby Lashley is going to be in it.

People keep saying he is and then saying he's not. But yeah, sucks they're getting rid of something that tests who wants to fight.

Solid Video Cody. Yeah I don't like that aspect either, however, its ratings. Dana wants the views, and he knows he is going to get them. Like you said in the description, the first solid wrestler, or striker he faces will give him problems. We will have to see how far he goes.
hattrickhockey17 2 years ago
Thanks Chase. Ratings are important, but I wonder if Dana grasps how this will effect the UFC in the long run. A lot of WWE fans think the UFC is just another version of sports entertainment, and you feed into those lies when you bring in a guy who was in a semi fixed fight (Seth was encouraged to stand) and give him special treatment.
Noyjeetut 2 years ago
FYI, the special meeting that Dana had is supposedly a deal with Pepsi. While that may not be big as far as signing a fighter, that is huge for MMA, because that means more mainstream exposure.
hattrickhockey17 2 years ago
Ah that sounds pretty tight. I was thinking it was probaly Gina Carona and Cyborg going to WEC. If it is Fedor though I will mark out like I never have before.
ajorton34 2 years ago
It seems Dana White is a businessman 1st. What does this mean? He can talk shit about you 1 day and sign you the next day with the highest praise. I personally can't wait to see how Kimbo interacts with other contestants socially in the house. DRAMA!

that gets a good honest WTF? No eliminations to get into the house! Honestly . Thats straight up Dana white Horseshit!! mightyseek does have a point though!! I am interested in how Kimbo does though.
Mabentuna 2 years ago
I think it's safe to say we're all interested in how he does.
Noyjeetut 2 years ago
It's cool they got Kimbo to fight but with the Ultimate Fighter it could be a diaster especially if he gets beat some Johnny no name. Hopefully they can get Seth too but I think he's already with Strikeforce.
starsoldier1 2 years ago
The funny part is they gave Seth a pretty hard run in the UFC. He got Hamill and Gouveia. Can't imagine the guys they'll bring in to fight Kimbo.
Noyjeetut 2 years ago
I think the reason they arent fighting their way into the house is that this season is purely for the heavy weights, and its probably hard enough to get 16 heavyweights that are even reasonably good, but finding 32 is probably quite a challenge.
mightyseek 2 years ago
That's why I said I thought he could actually win that fight to get into the house because they would be mostly scrubs. Why not give all the guys a chance to add on to their hilight reels.
Noyjeetut 2 years ago
I agree with what you said 100000%. It pisses me off 2. When I first heard this all I could think was that there giving Kimbo a free pass to get into the show no matter what. It's a great business move yes. The Ultimate Fighter is getting ridiculous now to begin with. It's becoming less about actual competition and more about spectacle more and more each season, so this Kimbo move makes sense.
killakash18 2 years ago
Ya, their integrity is going down in hopes that the ratings will go up. I also heard someone say that his fight will be the last fight of the first fights, just to make sure people are watching right until the last moment in case he loses and they lose interest.

I don't see why they would give Kimbo special treatment yet they won't sign Fedor even though he can fight. I think Kimbo will do alright in the TUF but I have a feeling that even if he looses that the UFC will sign him still.
DocDTFO 2 years ago
You know, I think I've made my peace of never seeing Fedor in the UFC. Both sides are too hard to work with.
