The biggest joke in MMA, Slice?

Question

Who else thinks Kimbo Slice is a joke? He won a fight in the Elite XC the most rigged MMA company ever. Now i can't honestly beleive people can compare him to UFC HW. Most of those guys train for a living, What does Kimbo do other than sit around and take his steroids?

Answer 1

Yes, Kimbo is officially the biggest joke in MMA.  He is a great street fighter but has almost no MMA skills.  He fought a mediocre fighter and almost lost.  He is a loser.

Answer 2

thompson isnt a no name have you seen his fights in PRIDE and just because kimbo has huge hype surrounding him doesnt mean they are going to match him up with high caliber heavyweights

Answer 3

he's not a joke, he is just over-hyped.

he obviously has some ability and his name recognition is what is getting him fights.

my big problem with him and lesnar and these "instant sell" guys is that they never had a chance to develop as fighers.

a normal mma fighter or boxer develops by getting some "easy" progressive fights under thier belt and these early fights allow them to develop and round out aspects of their game- win or lose, they find what they need to work on and there is not too much promotion or hype of them so they can stay under the radar and be picked up when thier skills drive thier recognition- not the other way around, with these "media dolls" thier reps seem to drive thier skills and that leads to exaggerated expectations and reputations and in the short term- ticket sales.

I think this is a "sensationalism" problem that runs deeper than kimbo as an individual fighter.  if kimbo could develop first under the spotlight maybe he would make it big and be a "great" in mma or maybe not- but we will never know because once the public is sick of his skills not matching his hype they will toss him out like a dog before he has a chance to truly develop.

with no drawing power no one will promote a fight with him.  

Answer 4

your rite he is a joke i want to see him fight Griffin or maybe Silva they would whup his butt

Answer 5

I wouldnt say he is a joke, he doesnt promote himself or schedule his own fights.  I think he trains hard and respects the game itself...Bas likes his so how cant I??  The real joke is Elite XC itself....not the fighter

james thompson beat don frye...idiot

was the second part directed to me??? if so let me educate you...Kimbo did fight JT (who you said is a no name) i agree he isnt the top guy out there, he does however hold an MMA victory over MMA legend Don Frye...so if it was directed at me learn your shut, god d**n noobs around here drive me crazy

Answer 6

Here we go again. It's your God-given right as a human being not to be a fan of Kimbo. He's a tough guy, but no, he's not a good mixed martial artist. When they put him in against a good opponent, yes, he's going to lose. But for now, EXC is hyping him, and using him to make money, which is the bottom line in any business.This was not Kimbo's idea. They approached HIM. They offered him a deal, and he took it. It would have been stupid of him not to. I guess I just can't understand the hate and insults thrown at the man. He's never tested positive for drugs. He's never really been to jail, and he hasn't insulted anyone in the business that hasn't spoken bad about him first, so what's the deal? If Kimbo's a joke, than so is Brock Lesnar. He's being hyped just as heavily, if not more, than Kimbo, and he hasn't done a d**n thing to earn it.  

Answer 7

I'm not a big fan of Kimbo Slice, he has a powerful punch but once people learn how he throws it, he will be another splash in the fryer.  I know that he is on(or at least was) part of group that would produce p**n sites and he would go out and pay people to let him bash the daylights out of them. I think Ken Shamrock could take down Slice

Answer 8

First I want to say I do not like him. Then I want to say I do not like people like you either. Rigged Fight. Thompson hands fell and took clean shots. It took him almost a full two seconds to realise the fight had been stopped. Thompson was out on his feet. Second he has one of the most renouned trainers in the world, Bas Rutten. If kimbo was not training hard and right he'd be back on the streets. Rutten would not put his reputation on the line for a thug. No he has not fought any body good. His camp and managers said he will only fight opponents he is ready for. No he doesn't need to fight the pitbull or anybody else like that. He has not paid his due's to get there, that is WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO. He wants to work up the ladder and someday maybe be a champ. This is opposite his other freak show friend Lesnor who wants to fight world class guys riht now. Kimbo has and is doing the right things. If Elite XC came to me and offered me that money I would jump all over it. Even though I am a amature fighter that does it for fun, you do not ever pass something like that up. jump all over ever oppertunities life gives you. Don't hate kimbo hate the place that signed him

Answer 9

drinks 40s, objectifies women, and takes the lords name in vain........he is a joke and should be allowed to compete against Fedor or Mirko or an elite HW (not tank abbot whos way past his prime)

Answer 10

u dont know what ur talkin about those wins were clear wins he hadnt fought a real opponent but the wins he did have were real and he is good cuz he attracting people more people
