Tuf 10 Kimbo vs Roy Nelson next Wednesday?
- Thread starter Shogun Locc
- Start date
I thought this was cool, from Schaub's blog.
I have a ton of respect for "Kimbo Slice," and I am proud to call that guy a real mixed martial artist. His attitude after this loss only improved, and it wasn't but a few hours after the loss that Kimbo was in Roy's face asking him to TEACH him how to escape the move that "Big Country" used against him. Roy, like the leader he is, obliged. My respect meter is off the charts for both of these guys.
He talks a bit more about the episode and how Rampage sucks at coaching, here's the full thing

It looked like Roy could've locked up an Americana or Kimura at one point, but seemed hell bent on getting that crucifix...anyone think he did this because this is what he said he'd do when he was outside talking to his teammates the night before the fight? Haha..
And yes. Rampage sucks as a coach. 'Let's get it Kimbo!'
Uhh, yeah. That isn't going to help him buck this 264 pound man off of him. He looked helpless.

Kimbo Slice: I’ll beat Roy Nelson next time around
“I fought Roy with caution. I did go for the kill one time, but I knew to be careful because Roy will bait you, that’s how good he is. He can look rocked, but the minute you go in for the kill, shwoop! You know what I’m sayin? He’s a smart fighter. When I felt like I rocked him I went in for the kill and that’s when I made my mistake. That’s when I realized, ah, this motherfucker was slick. But in the midst of the fight I had to figure that out. By the second round he figured out how to get in, how to play possum and get me down to the ground. That weight was hard to move. The crucifix is not my favorite position. I been in that position with James Thompson and was stuck. Roy had me also in that same position. That’s a position I would really like to know how to get out of. I know some shit on the ground. It’s not like I get down there and I don’t know nothing. I have some skills. I’ll beat Roy next time around. You’re only gonna beat me once. If I fight anybody and they beat me that one time, that’s it. You gave me your best. You didn’t beat me at my best. Now I know how you’re comin’. You ain’t beatin’ me twice. Damn right I’d rematch Roy.”

Kimbo is a boxer...he had no clue what to do on the ground. If you aint got a ground game you will never make it as a mma fighter...yes u might get a few knockouts...but ur eventually going to the ground..then what? Any half ass fighter with a half ass ground game can tie up kimbo...he repeatedly gave up the full mount but dude didnt capitalize on that...he just held his arms down with his belly and knee and popped him in the top of the dome repeatedly untill the ref called it
IN BOTH ROUNDS! BUT THE BELL SAVED EM IN THE 1st
