TUF 10: JOE RIGGS says Kimbo stinks and is an old man

[Brackman50]

Kimbo was still in his learning stages when they cut him short

[McClinchey09]

I still think ufc should have kept kimbo around. Give cro cop a left high kick highlight. Let big country knock his ass out rather than having to try to win safely. Help build new guys names up etc.

[SuperTugboat1983]

Riggs is the man he wouldve fucked kimbo up.

[Hawgboy66]

Well, 9 months ago you guys here were saying "who is this guy, why is he talking shit about Kimbo, Kimbo would kick his ass"...

NOW,

Everything Joe was saying, turned out to be true.

Kimbo Slice fucking sucks!

The man isn't equipped to fight in MMA. If a guy like Matt Mitrione beat his ass, what do you think high LEVEL fighters would do to Kimbo?

Haha. Seriously people. Just because he was beating up bums like him in the streets, don't mean he can fight in MMA.

Get real!

[PalaceOfExile]

Why do fighters have to talk trash about each other? Why can't they just fight? Instead they act like high school drama queens gossiping about one another.

[MagicBeemes]

to hype it up to attract more people to make more money

[fearandloathinginNY]

'i want a piece of his ass'

[eltubster14]

I always liked Joe, he's a fight anyone kind of guy. His fight with Nick Diaz was a classic.

[BigMac014]

i'd really like to see kimbo trash this guy. he's a fucking moron

[ez613]

This guy talks like a stupid highschool kid man cant listen to this fucking idiot garbage fighter

[taztaz33]

joe riggs = lame talks mad shit but he = poo poo

[InsaneCowPosse]

I made a video with a link called Kimbo gets a UFC contract. He is supposed to fight on Dec 5th He will fight on the undercard of the Main event of The Ultimate fighter or UFC 107

[duff835]

he fights vs alexander at the finals

[kmike1976]

Had no idea who this guy was until today but he's funny as fuck.

[irushhhh]

he would kick your ass so stfu

[leojr2005]

I agree kimbo is not that good but Mr you are not a shinny star neater hahaha

[lilblitz]

what the fuck is this bleach blond jim carey talking about stfu

[useyouforfood]

Him calling Shields a nerd was funny. Didn't expect that one.

[ZLeeJonZ]

I guarantee Kimbo will be given a contract whether or not he wins TUF. His standup is pretty impressive but he does need to really work on his ground game. He has good takedown defense though... which should keep him on his feet where he belongs. In a standup street fight... i think kimbo would whip riggs ass.

[JackPantz]

Kimbo would def. beat Joe. And yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if Kimbo got a contract, even if it's just one fight. Dana White sees dollar signs when he looks at Kimbo. Even though he's nowhere near being a great fighter, he would draw a crowd and sell tickets and pay per views. Too bad he didn't start training ten years ago......

[USASoCCerGoaL]

Ok he didnt win which I expected but hes gonna get a contract anyway just because he draws viewers and Dana White is a slut to money. Kimbo sucks as a major MMA guy as we all know already but he puts money in Whites bitch ass pockets

[ZLeeJonZ]

well yea.... Dana has confirmed Kimbo will be fighting in the UFC in the future. And i could care less if he is not a mixed martial artist, he is an exciting fighter.... but i must say the fight was very disappointing and BORING, but you could quickly see how scared roy got of kimbos striking. He has power and thats all you need to win some fights in the UFC.... look at lesnar ,tank, or numerous others.

[audrey29tg]

what your saying is true but the fighters you have mentioned usually end up with short disappointing careers . lesnar hasnt been around long enough yet but we will see how long he lasts and he is at least learning. big power is good to have but when its all you have someone will find away around it sooner or later , it always happens.

[youcrazy91]

@ZLeeJonZ if Kimbo doesn't shape up with stamina and a bit of better ground game he is going to have a losing record like abbot.

[944kiddo]

I agree with coldhearted, becuase wheather people like kimbo or not for any reason, people (most) love seccess storyies. and thats all this is, is a success story unfolding but we still dont know if its gunna be a success or not and that wonderment<---word? is what attracts people and brings people in.

[bnaji]

Can we watch TUF online or something? I want to watch it bad but i don't have Spike! Please reply to me if you know anything.

[ZLeeJonZ]

Try spiketv's website. I know they have full episodes of other shows.... should have full TUF episodes.

[bnaji]

Thanks ZLeeJonZ

[MrBavers]

watch it here on youtube,after the episodes aired its always up on youtube a few hours later,the 1st episodes are on here just look them up

[IronGrimes]

Wow this guy is a world class hater. Kimbo does what he does and makes a living at it. You dont make his money and you sound Jealous about it. Why not admire the older man for being able to compete instead of degrading him and being jealous of wealth.....

[anytakers44]

what fukin pussy! drop more wieght fat ass u got knocked out by a light weight..

u challenge a heavy wieght ur a joke bitch

[T2theterminator]

haha riggs talkin shit about shields and kimbo.. thats funny cause last time i saw riggs fight he got ktfo by diego sanchez and i vowednever to watch him fight again.. this guy is a bad example for all mma fighters

[BDuv1]

Riggs is the man at getting knocked out!

[ColdHearted]

kimbo is good for the growth of mma.

if you disagree, your either 1. wanting mma to become underground again.

2. a racist

[LAbooby]

The day kimbo is good for MMA is the day Joe RIggs makes weight for a title fight

[ColdHearted]

do you have any idea the fanbase he brings with him?

[LAbooby]

I'm not saying Kimbo doesn't bring a fan base it's just a tainted fan base that watched street fights and they think that's what MMA is.

[ColdHearted]

I dont think anyone who watches kimbo thinks his street fights in backyards are mma matches.

Considering he is labeled a street fighter and a brawler.

He brings those people to start watching MMA, then they become MMA fans.

[LAbooby]

Why do you think Elite XC folded? because they built their company around a street fighter and promoted it like that. The UFC is doing the same thing, I don't blame them on a business side but on an MMA side I would have liked to see Kimbo no get ANY special treatment just have him be one of the 16 TUF competitors, the little announcement Dana White did was exactly what I didn't wanna happen. His fans are gonna watch his street fights and think he will win. Kimbo said tapping is for bitches...NO

[ColdHearted]

The UFC didnt build their company around Kimbo lol. Kimbo isnt even in the UFC yet, which is why he is competing with the rest of those guys on TUF.

The drama between whether kimbo is legit or not, and the kimbo vs dana thing, is something true MMA fans should like to see, and kimbo fans obviously want to see it too.

Whether or not you think kimbo will be good in the UFC does not matter. I dont think he will be, and I dont see him winning TUF either.

But I will be watching. And thats key.

[LAbooby]

When did I say the UFC built their org around Kimbo?

I'm saying I don't like the fact their promoting him as a street fighter looking to become an mma fighter. I would have liked to see a guy like Sims, or Nelson get more attention because they have worked harder than Kimbo to be there. Kimbo is a rookie and should be treated like one.

I think Kimbo might do alright with the right training but he will never contend for the heavyweight title.

[ColdHearted]

"Elite XC folded? because they built their company around a street fighter and promoted it like that. The UFC is doing the same thing,"

If you dont have a problem with them using Kimbo to draw his fanbase, then what exactly is your problem, and why are we debating this?

Kimbo is good for the UFC. Whether you want to see him fail, or suceed, you'll watch and be entertained. End.

[LAbooby]

What I meant by the UFC doing the same thing is their heavily promoting his street fighting background, i don't like that and I think that's disgusting.

Just my opinion

[ColdHearted]

The guy is a fucking street fighter.

Should they promote him as a certified medical doctor?

You say you dont have a problem with kimbo, but then you say that they shouldnt promote him because he is a street fighter and you think thats disgusting.

The guy is a street fighter. That's kimbo. Why would they not use a guy who is clearly very popular, and wants to make the jump into mma?

The exposure is good for the sport, noone thinks his backyard cash streetfights are what mma is.

[baddbloodmoney]

lmfao diesel would get dropped by kimbo

[STEALTH872003]

It would be interesting to see Riggs go back to Heavyweight...hell he fought as a Superheavyweight

[baddbloodmoney]

he fought as a damn super heavyweight? what a fatass

[STEALTH872003]

He admitted that he was...he wrestled as a heavyweight in college and the limit there is 285.

[rodrigo4p]

WHO´S THIS FAGGOT ?

[DanRedSox]

exact

joe riggs is the biggest bitch

[mattwoowalters]

joe rigs is a joke, talks way bigger than he is, hes washed up already. fuck him! kimbo would fuck his skinny ass up anyway, period!

[blade83336]

"skiny" lmao dude he can go up weight CLASSES if he wants to he used to be over 300 pounds and not just fucking fat by junk food.

[mattwoowalters]

yah but at the moment he is skinny u have to admit. i dont even think he is fightin heavyweight. and yah he used to weigh 300 lbs, but he came down from that, he has never went back up to that. think of him as the subway guy, he was fat and lost it all. lol kimbo would de

[geeery1977]

This guys a fuckin loser, talking shit after he gets knocked the fuck out. get out of here homo.

[ckootood]

riggs is a homo

[GSPP4PCHAMP]

Riggs would KILL Fagg HUGHES! Hughes is an over-rated tractor fukker!

[ckootood]

yet hughes beat him already................

[tomdwarner]

Sounds like some fighters are more jealous of Kimbos earning power, Personally i like kimbo, he's got character and is an entertaning fighter, fair enough he hasnt always fought the best fighters(James Thompson) but he puts his punches on the chin and thats great to see

[doctorsizzle]

DAMN! this is probably the only sensible comment i've seen about kimbo!

you're damn right. i guess they would be pissed! so f**** what! kimbo had a fanbase coming into the sport! these young fools don't know sh** about this business. you've got to sell tickets and if being an ass is all you've got...well keep getting mad!

kimbo can sell tickets and their lame a** can't. i mean how many people know about these undercard fighters? then...you've got KIMBO.

build a fanbase dummies...

[v1ct0ry55]

You guys don't know who Joe Riggs is because you know nothing about MMA.And as for you talking crap on him because he sucks,that's the point you morons.Kimbo was afraid of even fighting his bitch ass.Kimbo is an old man and has awful striking.

[BreezyBryce]

joe riggs is a fag he always talks shit then gets KOed

[E0411546]

LOL who the fuck is joe riggs? This guy is a nobody whos been on more knockout highlight reels(him bein knockedout) then i care to remember

[Mayhem4724]

Jow Riggs cried...LITERALLY cried when he got DIESEL tattoed on his abs...oh,and he pulled a muscle while doing it.What kind of pro MMA fighter cries getting a tattoo?!He got stomped by Diego,then ran his mouth saying it was a fluke....ummm,last time I checked taking a knee to the chops isnt a fluke.He got knocked out,then pretented like he's a badass by saying it didnt happen....what an idiot

[v1ct0ry55]

Joe Riggs is a bully,haha!"Fuck him,he's a nerd".

Kimbo is pretty pathetic though,he actually backed down from fighting Joe Diesel Riggs?Riggs isn't that good of a fighter,but I'm confident that Riggs wouldv'e destroyed Kimbo Slice.

[prettyboydlove02]

boooooooo get the fucc out of here Joe who i dont even know dis dude kimbo get beat by Joe who Diesel LMFAO now dats real funny

[jordanav]

lol Joe Riggs is full shit why is he shitting on everybody he got smashed by Deigo he would get smashed by any top welterweight.

[Vonvalson]

well said!

[mafiaguyzxxx]

JOE RIGGS is on coke..he got fucked up by Diego Sanchez ..let alone kimbo..kimbo is gonna make him teeth come out of his asss...

[benjeans]

Diego sanchez is a much better fighter than kimbo though, kimbos just bigger

[D0uBtm3n0w86]

Joe Riggs blows.... PLEASE.... he needs to shut his damn mouth .... I dont even like KIMBO and I still think JOE RIGGS IS GARBAGE

[ColCrackABitch]

Joe Riggs is awsome. One of my favorite fighters. If he could reach his potential in the octagon, you will all see, one of the greatest fighters, ever!

[denzelsnipes69]

Joe Riggs is right about Kimbo.

[SweeperstheBoss]

sounds like he's drunk or took too many shots to the head.

[ally4free1]

looks like somebodys written checks that his ass cant cash..

[JSE4444]

JOE RIGGS FUCKEN BLOWS.i have seen this guy lose every other time he fight FUCK JOE RIGGS

[Avocado818]

joe riggs is a freakin idiot... kimbo slice would knock his head off his shoulders... let me see him say that to kimbos face!

[lyricol]

are you kidding of course he would say that to kimbo's face, he has faced real top of the heap mma fighters and was not scared and you think he would not say that to kimbo's face give me a break kimbo is nothing compared to joe riggs and the rest of the ufc

[CJFuzzy]

Different weights though Kimbo may have that advantage.

[lyricol]

yea but I think the experience would play a big roll in the fight I think Joe has had over 40 fights 31and 11 I think, sometimes weight makes no difference if you have had a chance to watch the earlier ufc bouts, just my opinion

[CJFuzzy]

I do recall that but everyone is way ahead of the competition back then. If weight didn't make a difference MMA would have established weight classes. Just because Kimbo has ground game doesn't mean Joe Riggs could beat him who a lot smaller than him. Kimbo still has decent striking standing up.

[Chewinupbabies]

I cant wait to see Nick Diaz give this little bitch a beatdown

[bigdrew57]

Joe Riggs is trash

[timmyblaze]

Nick Diaz is going to own his bitch ass next month. And if you ain't down with that, I got two words for ya

[jbnopi]

When do they fight? how can i see it? i would pay to see Nick Diaz whoop his ass and shut joe's mouth.

[timmyblaze]

August 15th on Strikeforce. I think their fights are shown on Showtime, but don't quote me.

[rok30]

most of these guys need to shut up until they throw down....thats what makes this real...not like wwe.

[OurTVproductions]

another asshole using Kimbo as a meal ticket

[Nevo1665]

WHAT?! this guy has over 40 professional MMA fights several of them against serious condenders and champions in some of the biggest multi million dollar promotions. And he is using some low rent street fighter who has had 4 or 5 pro fights? Kimbo is a marketing tool. The guy is a joke.

[snakeeyes1111]

not a joke at all, he maybe nothing to the great joe riggs, but he isn't a joke...

[eltubster14]

Joe Riggs can hang with anybody on his day, really like the guy!

[jbnopi]

When the hell was the last time joe riggs has even fought in the ufc. he all of asuden disappeared. and im pretty sure kimbo would whoop his ass. He couldnt even beat matt hughes. i know matt is tough but kimbo is a fucking heavy weight. i think joe has been smoking crack.

[motoz30]

A "BITCH MOVE?"

WTF are you talking about? The dude said he'd take on anyone, anytime. Don't call out EVERYONE if you really have no intention of fighting EVERYONE.

REAL BITCH MOVE.

[HeIIoHater]

The story of Joe Riggs fighting Kimbo is fucking stupid, Kimbo was on a street level skill, thats a bitch move to be a proffesional and wanting to fight an amature/street fighter. REAL BITCH MOVE

[jcfromap]

who has $50,000 to bet if you are NOT a pro? Get real Kimbo fought Gannon, Kimbo is a joke and should NEVER have turned pro, now the whole world knows he is only good when fighting homeless people.

[arroyoflush15]

your right it is a bitch move for a 180lb fighter to challenge a 240lb guy who beats ppl up on the internet. anytime you challenge a guy 60lbs heavier then you, you are a bitch ladis and gentlemen.

[HeIIoHater]

wow, you = ignorance

[datboiko15]

lol he aint fought no one 60 lbs lighter then him look at the status on his backyard fites lol

[arroyoflush15]

uummmm.... ya dick i know that. let me type this in big letters so you can understand if i say it slower, JOE RIGGS IS 60LBS LIGHTER THEN KIMBO, JOE RIGGS CHALLENGED KIMBO TO A BACKYARD FIGHT, KIMBO SIAD NO BECAUSE JOE RIGGS IS A PRFESSIONAL FIGHTER. DESPITE HAVING A 60LB WEIGHT AND OBV STRENGTH ADVANTAGE KIMBO RANKED IT LIKE A PUSSY.

[datboiko15]

leme type dis slower to you FUUUCK YOUUU!! I DIDNT KNOW THAT!! BUT NOW DAT I KNOW....JOE RIGGS WOULD BEAT KIMBO CAUSE HE GOT WAY MORE STAMINA N EXPERIENCE EVEN THOUGH HES LIGHTER THEN HIM

[arroyoflush15]

super.

[Nevo1665]

but what you are failing to remember is that Joe Riggs used to fight as a heavyweight. So it would notbe a complete stretch for him to gain back up to HW range.

[larrysprinkler]

joe riggs is a fuckin douce who the fuck is he ever beat ??? He's the real sub-level fight . what a chump !!

[ScooterJ9]

I want to see a Nick Diaz /Riggs rematch. They had a bloodbath in their UFC fight and Diaz got robbed than they brawled at the hospital. This rematch would be bloody.

[CrimsonFury11111]

August 15.

[CEASARBLACK]

who the fuck is this muppet??

[suck00these]

joe 'DIESEL' riggs? Only in the MMA will you see boring-ass athletes who are barely average talk trash. And only in MMA do athletes make up their own nickname! A nickname is something you earn, bitch!

[kanarvin]

Rampage should take Kimbo under his wing and teach him some striking tactics..

[WickaPissa]

if what he said happened with Matt Hughes was how it went, it sounds like Matt was being sarcastic about it. it's not like he called her a name. quit being a pussy, Joe.

[saintpk]

ROFL joe riggs is just a cryin bitch....kimbo did just kick his ass and he didnt think riggs cared because he introduced him to his wife riggs wife knew he beat his ass...kimbo probly felt wierd because he just kicked his ass than he introduces him to his wife? he said it to break the ice n than riggs whined likea bitch..riggs wife probly def saw the bitch ass riggs inside LOL couldnt hold himself together....riggs sucks to btw =X

[GRMC09]

WTF are you talking about? Matt Hughes kicked his ass and then made that comment to his wife, Riggs would own Kimbo!

[mmajacked4]

hahahahha he shit himself during the hughes fight i thought i saw him make a pissed off face ad huges back away with a funny face lollollol

[Super8hypnosis]

Joe Diesel Riggs is the best boxer ever in the mma hands down

[DramaMC]

Diego Sanchez doesn't think so :)

[saintpk]

nah dude rampage for sure

[Super8hypnosis]

Rampage I agree with his getting good with his boxing right now but riggs has the best convential boxing in mma but rampage is the most effective boxer in teh mma yo

[FATDUCK159]

im not sure riggs is a good boxer but marcus davis was a great boxer before turning to mma

[Super8hypnosis]

Well What I meen by boxing is that joe riggs didnt have any accolades in boxing but his stand up style has a very very pure boxing look to it.

As a boxing practioner joe riggs and rampage and vitor belfort have the most conventional boxing skills

Davis if you look at his earlier fights to now you can see that his boxing stance has changed and he wasent big on footwork since he was more of a swarmer like cutting angles and cutting corner that was davis style in boxing

[GRMC09]

Riggs is not a great boxer. Vitor Belfort, Marcus Davis and Arlovski have better boxing skills.

[XHarlequinX]

haha. considering all three of those guys blow as fighters, thats saying a lot about riggs. good one

[dmooney1112]

uhhhhhhh, im jjust gunna go ahead and say no on that one.

[fightersmma]

JOe Riggs sounds like a HAATTERRR!!

[freebielog]

Hey, I gotta agree, I like Riggs sometimes, and other times I just think he's got a big mouth which he can't control. His last fight in strikeforce was fuckin impressive though, and in his post interview, he showed an emotional side which is rare to see in mma. He's got tons of talent, but geezuz i just wish he'd hush his mouth once and a while.

[fightersmma]

I agree.. People have to understand Kimbo just started mma... Kimbo was a street fighter, these other fighters been training for years... So its gonna take Kimbo some time to learn MMA.. I give Kimbo props... Im a fighter, its hard to get in that ring with little experience

[saintpk]

hes been in alot of fights and im sure real experience helps alot hes been training with bas rutten for a couple years he'll do fine

[poolboyinla]

Kimbo fucking sucks.

[rampagesgrill84]

Riggs is way over his head with Shields. I mean, who hasn't beat NYBA...

[STOPBlTCHlNG]

Riggs calls Kimbo a "sub level fighter"? Funny thats what most people think of Riggs. Who has Riggs beaten that is a top level fight... Just Nick Diaz by Decision. "which I don't think he could pull off a victory against Diaz again." Shit I could beat Riggs and Thats a promise...

[BladeDaRazor]

LOL Matt Hughes is hilarious lol

[region1111]

Joe Riggs sucks and no one cares about his fights.

In the UFC he was beaten by anyone who was even a little bit good, and they shit-canned him.

The guy can barely put together a sentence, he's obviously a little permanently punch drunk from being thumped in the head too much.

I've got no respect for him. Shields flaked on him because he's not a worthy opponent.

[STOPBlTCHlNG]

Shields is way above Riggs. Shields is ranked #4 and Riggs is ranked #21. Why would Riggs think that he even is worthy enough to fight Shields? Riggs is way over his head. Big deal he beat Phil Baroni. I like Baroni but he is way passed his prime. Riggs should fight someone at least in the top 10. If he can get passed them. Then maybe he should get a fight with Shields. But if he doesn't then he should just give it up. because he'll never hold a premier Title.

[EBWChamp18]

Riggs is still Strikeforce's 2nd best welterweight regardless. Shields choose to go to Strikeforce, he knows that there's no welterweights there. If he wanted real competition he'd go fight in the UFC.

[STOPBlTCHlNG]

I don't believe he is there 2nd best. The has a pool of talent. Just no big names.

[jayo7847]

joe riggs isnt that good lol... i cant wait till he gets squashed in one of his next 2 fights if not both

[TeddyLongo]

He looked good against Baroni, that's it. And Baroni has passed his prime.

[elheadkickio]

I freaking love Pro MMA Radio. Joe's talking a good game, but man, he's not even in the same class as Shields at this point.

[Steadno]

Riggs is a mediocre fighter who has lost 1/3 of his fights.

[undisputedgreatest]

Horse shit. Riggs is an incredible fighter.  He has rarely performed to his potential, and looked amazing against Baroni. He is also right on in this interview.
