A few of you gave us the heads-up on UFC commissioner Dana White seemingly reversing field on Kimbo Slice and bringing in the guy that’s arguably responsible for putting former MMA league EliteXC in the dumper.
The upcoming 10th season is the first to feature heavyweight fighters since “TUF 2″ aired in late 2005. However, the top heavyweights from that season – winner Rashad Evans, Keith Jardine, Mike Whitehead and Petruzelli, for example – later dropped to the light heavyweight division. |MMA Junkie|
I am stunned by the news. White has been outspoken for the last two years on Slice. Here are some of the statements White has made in the last few years on Slice. “Kimbo Slice sucks, like I’ve said now for the last few months. This [expletive] guy can’t fight and he got knocked out in 13 seconds by a guy who didn’t win The Ultimate Fighter.”

CBS Sports notes that the show format may have been altered specifically to keep Kimbo around longer; the 16 fighters will not necessarily compete week-to-week to stay in the house. So then how do they eliminate each other? Heidi Klum kisses you on the cheek and says “Auf Wiedersehen.” I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.

Oh yeah? Com’eer and say that!!!
I have never met a UFC fan that wasn’t a waste of life. They use low-brow expressions like “Oh yeah?” and “Com’eer’ a minute”.
I love it when people take umbrage.
DDT, thanks for the additional background, but I take umbrage with the claim that my facts are “screwy.” The post might be a bit vague, but what you’ve added doesn’t contradict anything in the post.
Biggie’s eMuscles are too rich for my blood.
Hey hey. Let’s stay off moms. I just got done banging yours.
/still rusty
Nah, I’m good. Merk’s mom’s lovin’ keeps me happy.
biggie needs a hug
I was going to make a sister joke but seeing as she’s dead and in the trunk of my car, I though it may have been too soon.
/cuz “douche” jokes arn’t used more than mom jokes? Keep typing out that comedy gold and don’t stray too far from the phone, The Comedy Store’s gonna call any day now.
They should put 4 guys in the ring at once.
and maybe a tiger.
\merk must be a doctor
Jose Canseco > Kimbo slice
Oh Hey! A mom joke. and a retarded one at that. Neat.
/douche.
//no seriously, use a douche, it’ll get the sand right outta there.
Ahhhhh Merk, always a pleasure. Not as pleasureable as when I finger banged your whore of a mother in the parking lot of a Dunkin’ Donuts the other night, but still a good time.
//it’s been awhile
No shit man, where have you been? Now we’re left picking thru comments of sand-in-my-vagina Biggie Laing up there.
@Enrico – Wtf??? Usually I agree with you but “Makes Auto racing look like a polo match”…what does that even mean? And Auto racing is for wife beating (redneck) assholes and boring as shit. I bet Jeff Gordon turns left here…I bet he turns left again…
Not trying to pick a fight (you’re not Joe Buck), but seroiusly dude…
This is a blog so I guess I shouldn’t be concerned or surprised that your facts are a little screwy. But I will correct anyway.
1. Dana White clearly stated that Kimbo would only get in the UFC by going through the show and that he would consider having a heavyweight season just to give him the opportunity.
2. No rules are being altered to tailor to Kimbo. No one is ever forced to leave the house. In fact they are forced to stay in the house even after they are eliminated from the tournament.
The only change may be that you don’t have to fight to get on the show this season. The main reason for that is that heavyweights are really hard to come by. There just aren’t that many big dudes out there fighting. Therefore the sixteen that they got will all be ensured a spot in the house (which is how it was for like the first six seasons anyway).
Dana had said previously that the only way Kimbo would be in the UFC is if he came through the house. Also, Rampage has said he supports Kimbo.
/rape joke
//it’s been awhile
UFC is for wife-beating assholes. It makes auto racing look like a polo match.
dangerous fist magnet @ 11:37
dunno why, but that had me cracking up
Dana white reminds me of George W….short, insecure annoying little shit who stands on a box and is told what to say by the powers that be…..
if the camera ever panned down when dana talks you would see frank or lorenzo fertitta with a hand up his ass throwing a ventriloquist voice over
i would have like the clip much more if David Blaine had have exploded into a huge ball of shit when kimbo punched him.
Dana White’s a genius…if Kimbo’s successful, then Dana’s got a name to promote and push, like he did with Brock Lesner. If he sucks and get’s ko’d out of the show, then Dana will have proven he was right all along. Love em or hate em, the man’s brilliant.
Personally, I think Kimbo’s going to get in Rampage’s face episode one. Episode two will be deticated to the memory of Kimbo Slice.
When do these guys start fighting the lions?
