Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

If they wanted Petruzelli to box rather than take Kimbo to the mat, then it was a major backfire. I don't think Kimbo took a dive, especially how pissed off he was, but then again, with ratings and money on the line, the promotion could have gotten very desperate.

I guess we'll wait and see. I really don't see anything coming of the investigation, but if it does, the entire sport of MMA will take the black eye.

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

So is that it for Kimbo now? Are his 15 minutes over with?

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

Nope, but he's about 12 minutes into his 15...EliteXC has spent too much money on him and marketing him to just throw him by the wayside.

Slice/Shamrock will happen down the road. From there, who knows, but as of right now, there is no way he can hang with the likes of Antonio Silva, Andrei Arlovski, Josh Barnett, Fedor Emelianenko, or even a Tim Sylvia. There's a reason Dana White would never bring Kimbo Slice to UFC and Elite is banking on being able to turn Kimbo into a legitimate threat.

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

Read that this morning. The talented fighters will find work, but Kimbo's 15 minutes may have expired. Dana White of the UFC has stated time and time again that he would never give Kimbo the time of day.

Supposedly CBS/Showtime and Affliction Clothing were supposed to collaborate in purchasing ProElite, but negotiations broke down after word of ProElite being under investigation by the Florida State Athletic Commission, from Seth Petruzelli's comments about his fight with Kimbo.

Lesnar would destroy Kimbo.

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

It wouldn't even be a contest, Lesnar would eat Kimbo alive.

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

Lesnar doesn't have much of a martial arts back ground, but is a legit wrestler. i agree with you guys, he would destroy kimbo

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

Destroy isn't the word. Lesnar actually has talent. If he can continue to stay motivated and not discouraged with tough losses he is going to be a force in the heavyweight division. The biggest question for him is whether he can take a punch. A Kimbo fight for him would be worthless at this point in his career. He needs to step up competition a little. Eventually I'd like to see him fight Tim Sylvia but not until he gets a little more polished and some experience udner his belt.

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

At this point, Lesnar would destroy Tim Silvia. Silvia for some reason isn't the fighter he used to be. He's gone soft. I'd like to see him come back and fight like he did when he was the UFC Heavyweight Champ, I just don't see it happening.

Lesnar fights Couture for the UFC Heavyweight belt in November at UFC 91. If Lesnar can't take care of Couture in the 1st round, I don't see him winning this fight. Lesnar had so many opportunities to put Heath Herring away, but didn't. A guy like Couture will take advantage of that.

As far as Kimbo goes, Dana White has offered him a spot on The Ultimate Fighter if he is interested...

Re: Kimbo slice makes network debut
 

i don't care how old couture is. i say no way Lesnar beats him. unless he has made great strides that i don't know about
