Kimbo maybe you should retire? Japan is at a stand still with entertainment. Why travel across the world to be a laughing joke?
niggas gotta make money dumbass lol.
lol yea he can be a joke here just as easily
kimbo the price is right slice
Kimbo's manager said he had endless job offers, WTF?
pro wrestling is huge in japan i am sure kimbo is getting a ridiculous amount of money his fighting carrerer is done so why not
does anyone even care anymore?
you obviously do or you wouldn't have clicked on this post.
maybe he just likes to bash him and doesnt really care...oh nevermind maybe that was just me.
Smart move for him. He is not an MMA fighter or a boxer. He is a street brawler with a huge brand name. He could bank in pro wrestling and the Japanese fans are very loyal. That with his straight to video movies and the guy has carved a nice little niche for himself. Not bad for a bouncer.
I also heard priror to that he retired from boxing before he even got his debut. Just pointing that out....
Come on Nik, you know you also wanted to point out that he TKO'ed Bo Cantrell... It only says submission because I guess Bo verbally quit. No shame in being a fan man... I've been tellin ya this for the longest : )
What the hell was that soppose to mean?
That's just where Kimbo belongs, in a freak show. Pitch a tent and charge admission.
i said it 1000 time befor Kimbo is usless in MMA nobody listen he can take Lesnar with him the freak of nature in a freak show
Hopefully Kimbo can establish himself in Japan and then the japanese will want to see Bob Sapp's career resurrected and somehow have a super fight between the two. I would definitely watch that. Hopefully they both don't gas in the first three minutes of the match...
whats with all the Kimbo hate?! he actually impressed me in the Mitrione fight untill he gassed out
I sort of agree but he didn't gas out. Mitrione kicked his legs away. He looked good in the first round though.
Man Kimbo Slice had so much potentcial, he is just too old to start getting into this and he wasn't focused on his training even with boxing. But i do respect how he got a chance to fight in the elites of MMA, the UFC, atleast he got that far in his short career.
