[BROWN GUERRERO]

I hope Kimbo does it, but highly doubtful. Big Country is an experienced veteran who has held a championship and is light years ahead on the ground(black belt in bjj).


WAR KIMBO!!

Poll?


I think Roy will lay his fat ass on Kimbo and win that way. I really don't like the guy at all.

I got Roy winning though....hopefully I'm wrong because Kimbo is the reason why this so damn popular. If he gets eliminated, I expect the ratings to drop a lot because the Rampage-Rashad bickering is already old.

 

[lenbiasyayo]

roys attitude made me dislike him. "shut the fuck up and listen sometimes even if u a O.G" - 40wata

"Kimbo's a fantastic guy, I learned a lot from him. He's been in the fight business a long time and I think he'll be in the business for a long time to come."

- Roy Nelson said this after the show.. He also said some other nice things about Kimbo.. But I just can't see Nelson losing to Kimbo.. I think Kimbo will get ko'd or something.

 

[B-Buzz]

I'd go nuts if Kimbo KOd him, but Big Country's gonna get it to the ground and put on a clinic.

 

[MrPeete]

Funny how Dana White is a winner one way or the other here.

If Kimbo loses this first fight, it's "I told ya so". When Kimbo eventually loses on the show (assuming he wins this fight), he's still UFC gatekeeper status. Supposedly Petruzelli is back with UFC so they have to be setting that fight up for the Finale.

 

[meltamic]

Im hopin kimbo will knock the fat ass out. He just comes off like a douche bag. He may be better on the ground but I think kimbo will take em out cause hes got a lot to prove for this match up.

 

[MOREBASS]

So apparently, win or lose...we will see Kimbo in the octagon in the future! Good news, I really am pulling for the guy to succeed. Gotta love a rags to riches story like this...

The ratings for the first edition of Spike TV's "The Ultimate Fighter: The Heavyweights," doubled the popular reality fighting series' usual numbers, Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White said Tuesday.
There were 4.1 million viewers for the show's debut, and another million watched the replay. The major draw of the show is Kimbo Slice, the former YouTube street-fighting sensation who had a brief run in the short-lived Elite Xtreme Combat fighting organization that aired fights on CBS.

Although filming for "The Ultimate Fighter" is complete -- except for the finale to be aired live in December, with the winner earning a six-figure contract and membership in the UFC -- White told The Times that whether Slice wins or loses during the competition, he'll be in the UFC.

"Are you going to see Kimbo Slice fight again in the UFC? Yes," White said.

Asked if that was a decision based on the first episode's ratings, White said: "No, never. The ratings do not influence our decision. The guy can either fight or not."

White said one of the strongest endorsements he received about Slice's skill in the octagon came from former light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans, who's a coach in the show and told White he wants to continue working with Slice at his elite MMA training compound directed by respected trainer Greg Jackson in New Mexico.

"We've been very impressed with Kimbo's performance," added UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta.

^^typical promoter.

Kimbo sucks. But there is $$$ in him, at least temporarily. Reminds me of Butterbean.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Looks like Kimbo rocks Big Country in the preview.

 

[King Spadez]

I read a rumor that kimbo losses this fight by TKO so im rolling with that.

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

I heard that too but I heard a fuck ton of other rumors too where Kimbo wins so I don't think anyone knows for sure.

 

[2-0-Sixx]

This shit is pre-recorded?

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

This shit is pre-recorded?

Yeah it was filmed a couple weeks ago.

 

[Hollywood]

i want to see Kimbo succed he's like the underdog now someone needs to bust Roy's chops

 

[The Duke of Earl]

something tells me kimbo is better conditioned than roy nelson

 

[localstar907]

if you seen roy nelson fight hes not a lay and pray guy. 10 wins by either ko,tko, or sub compared to only 2 decsiion victories.

the guy may look like a fat slob but he is skilled.

and rashads coaches come off as douchebags.

"DO YOU WANT TO GET KNOCKED OUT BY ARLOVSKI AGAIN!?!? DO YOU?!?"

 

[MOREBASS]

^ No I know he's a skilled BJJ guy, I was just making fun of the fact that he's a fat slob.

That was actually funny how he called him out on the KO, cause he was acting like a diva before hand. I know Roy also has KO power, so I'd love to see him toe-to-toe to try and kill the legend of Kimbo Slice
