UFC: The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights


[image loading]
"These guys big as hell"


Premieres Wednesday 9/16 featuring street fighter Kimbo Slice and coaches Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans which have a loving and friendly relationship with each other. 16 heavyweights will fight it out for the title of the ultimate fighter and the UFC contract.

EDISODE 2

Ladies and Gentleman, Introducing: KIMBO SLICE

[image loading]


Ctrl + Click for background music


This beast, which was born in February 8, 1974 (35 years old) is going to go through the tenth installment of the UFC Ultimate Fighter, which will go by UFC Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights this Wednesday, September 16. But my question is, does he have what it takes to join the UFC?

[image loading]
This guy is scary


Former MMA fighter, this guy is best known for getting into a lot of street fights and honestly, a guy that towers at 6'2" and 235lb is truly an opponent to be feared, not counting his intimidating appearance and personality.

So what do you think? Will Kimbo make it into the UFC?

I find it pretty awesome that Kimbo decided to go to the Ultimate Fighter rather than go fight for another promotion, or fight in Japan, where he's prettymuch guaranteed to get paid given his appearance.

So assuming that the UFC didn't pay him an insane amount to come to the new season, (which I don't think they did?), I think it's great that he actually has the desire to be a good fighter. Plus it's always interesting to have 'characters' both on the show and in the UFC, so I say for entertainment value, hell yes.

Do any of you practice MMA or something of the like?

If you answered 'yes', don't you feel ashamed that this blob of muscles fihgts at this level.
Of course he could rip my ass anyday, but he doesn't have technique for mma, he did beat a shitload of street brawlers, but isn't compared to real UFC fighters. It took to Seth Petruccelli something like one or two minutes to put him on the mat unconscious so I don't spect him to be the new UFC star.


Just my two cents

Meh, it's my understanding that he's actually training these days... I have no interest in him as a freakshow, but there's nothing saying he couldnt become a serious fighter.

In some circles it's called an outtie.

Back on topic.

Kimbo Slice definitely has some hands on him ;meaning speed and power. Is he a good striker? No.

That being said, I can't see him becoming more than a gate keeper in the UFC. He'll probably join the likes of Chris Leben and Keith Jardine. Of course he'll fight in the UFC for a couple of shows; probably against a few cans. Will he win TUF? Hell no.

How does he expect to survive in a division stacked with wrestlers and grapplers? Carwin, Couture, Nog, Lesnar, Mir, Gonzaga, and the new addition of Ben Rothwell.

I guess it would be sort of entertaining (if he can beat a few noobs) to watch him against good strikers like Pat Berry or Cro Cop (should he lose to Dos Santos).

I mean he seems like a likable enough guy but he's way too one dimensional and probably overestimates his own skill. I remember reading some Bas Rutten interview with him saying that he tried to get Kimbo to review heel hook escapes (before the fight with Shamrock was supposed to happen) and Kimbo just flat out refused saying that the fight would never go to the ground. What the hell...you dare question El Guapo?.

Brock Lesnar is the UFC heavyweight champion.

I'm not really a fan of Brock at all, but he's proof that technique isn't everything.

True, but to say Kimbo isn't viable due to the fact that he currently doesn't currently have high level MMA skills is a bit off. Brock has shown that he can take on those with far higher skills than he due primarily to his physical prowess. I see no reason why Kimbo couldn't become a viable MMA contender.

He'd have to develop some sick TD defense to ever be considered a contender as a HW. I'm not saying it's impossible, just not likely.

I thought kimbo slipped during the seth petruccelli fight, and seth capitalized on it.

EDIT: looks more like seth caught him with a straight right that dazed him. My bad

Maybe so, but like I said, I have to commend the guy for going to the ultimate fighter and aspiring to become great rather than going to Japan and fighting, because there's always room for guys like him in Japan and I'm sure he knows this.

Not to mention Dana White said the only way he'd ever fight in the UFC is by going through the Ultimate Fighter, so that's what he's trying, haha.

Assuming that it's valid to say that about people who are physically talented, how does this guy qualify? Besides these pictures I'm ignorant of his physical abilities. Brock had top level athleticism even compared to NFL players of his weight.

I like to think that Brock Lesnar is the man and he likes to beat people up. When Brock Lesnar meets Kimbo Slice the earth will move as the heavyweight fighters shake the stadium with their powerful strikes. Brock Lesnar will prevail because he is bigger and has fought better opponents. Kimbo Slice, after getting KTFOd by a nobody (Seth Petruzelli, sorry man), has shown that he has a glass chin. One hopes that Bas Rutten's weak training skills were the cause of Kimbo's poor showing versus Seth P. I hope that Kimbo wins the TUF contract, gets better training (he already is if he's on Rampage Jackson's team), and we get to see the streetfighter transform into a competent mixed martial artist (and put on a good show, eventually, against Brock Lesnar, or, hopefully, Shane Carwin).

uhhh Bas is a great instructor. I really can't tell if you're trolling or not.

Genki Sudo
Duane Ludwig
Mark Kerr

All great fighters while they trained with Bas. Hell, Ludwig is still an awesome fighter.

edit: it would also probably be better for Kimbo to be on Rashad's team since it looks like he brought Greg Jackson along for the show.

it was like 15 seconds, and he had like 4 inches of reach and 30 pounds over seth, so i dont think he has a chance
