is an opportunity like this!!!! He will mature so much on TUF!!!! Introducing...........................the NEW and IMPROVED........KIMBO SLIIICCCCEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is Kimbo Slice?
6 months of "sprawl" training? lawls
I thought this was gonna read..."A new trainer".
Is this chair, and that's all he needs.....and this lamp, All kimbo needs is this chair and this lamp.... and this paddleball.....
what's a kimbo slice?
blah blah blah.............
i have never been a fan, but seriously....back when it wasn't a "sport" he would have been condidered unstoppable(yes, a frate trane).
he would have been considered inhuman, superhuman, beyond human. and those were the guys that we couldn't get enough of, the reason we would talk some daughter of a rich man who was out of town into getting the insanely overpriced PPV becaues "your dad won't even notice it on his cable bill"
fuck me, a couple of you guys remember when it was literally a days pay (or more)to pony up for something that you weren't even sure would actually appear on the screen.
if you were lucky enough to live in a town with "the good cable", that is.
it was like admitting you liked watching small wild dogs fuck an even smaller homeless child. you didn't tell anyMOTHERTRUCKINGbody that you thought that two grown men could get after it in an honest attempt to kill each other while respecting what it took to step into that situation. who the fuck at your job could even comprehend that?, you were strange enough as it was, why draw attention?
It made it even crazier if you were actually one of "those" guys. skipping lunch for a week so you could pay for it. spending your lunch (and dinner and breakfast... who am i kidding, that free coffe you found out about WAS breakfast) eating the cheapest tuna you could find and running (not jogging) for 28 nminutes because your lunch was only 30 minutes long. puking in the trash can and convincing your co workers that this was totally normal, all "kick boxers" do that.
honestly tell me that, back then, kimbo wouldn't have been the "answer" to those fucking freaks that just gave you an angry hug until you were tired of punching them without actually making them feel like they had been punched (i HATED those fuckers, and i understood ne waza more than most, but those skinny migrant fuck looking bastards werent giving a real fighter a chance to light them up or send them flying!! what the fuck was a practionor to do????)
now kimbo is just the guy that can beat up anyone he meets. except an actual fighter.
too bad. for him. not for the sport, but for the man that very few call kevin
he has bills to pay, kids to feed, bread to make. a possee full of clowns to support.
all that pressure would make a man do anyting to be what people expect him to be.
all that pressure can make a diamond out of coal but it can't make a champion out of kevin. there just isn't enough time.
he has done the best he can, and if it was actually a fact that opponents were "encouraged" to "stand" with him i honestly doubt he was aware of it. I think he would honestly be pissed if he understood what has been done for him in professional MMA. I think he WILL be pissed once he understands what exactlty professional MMA has done to him
he will never be better off than he is right at this very moment. and what he is right at this moment is a man pushing 40 that has been used. he used "us" too, but i don't think he ever understood who "us" were.
whatever, clown him if you need to-he got played. talk about dancing for the man. he thinks that what he did was gettin over on the man, but he was just dancing.
makes me sad, makes me laugh, makes me want to cry if i could.
reminds me to never trust what "they" say.
more than that, it makes me question bas. makes me wonder a little when bas says he can't be beat.
i guess bas is just one more casualty in this. but so am i. i remember when this shit really mattered to me. i remember defending the entire concept back when reagan was predident and i was just a kid.
i remember being the stereotype disaffected youth who had a secret that no one knew about. and that secret meant alot.
secret has been out for a while now and even tho people loves them a good secret, they are rarely actually interested in the reality that led to the moment.
fuck kimbo. much love for kimbo. whatever..... its hard to muster anything real for a sport that was supposed to be completely honest but had to lie in order to "grow up"
i think i might be becoming one of those arrogant bastards that train consistantly but hasn't watched a fight in years. i was that guy in 1989 and i thought i was on the right track until 92 (when i saw my 1st tape). part of me feels like being a fan of the "sport" aspect has only made what i believe in weaker.
what ever............ i take it all back!
grown men punching each other is what i expext. on tv? even better. right in front of me at the dq is the pinnacle, but i eat really healthy so i don't even know if a dq exist's in my town.
but the idea that there IS a dq, and the idea that two guys with nothing going for them but a trans am and a 14 year old girlfriend are, right at this moment, fighting their guts out instead of performing for a reason other than fighting is fun, makes me happy.
thats fucked up, but i remember what it was like to just say fuck it and throw. that was freedom. training has always been about controlled restraint. thats a hard balance for a yung man. but young men grow up, stupid young men become stupid old men.
very few people really know what its like to fight for what they think is their life.
cynical men fight because they think its the easiest path to their goal. honest men fight because it just something they need to do sometimes. in-between men fight because they think it will make their existance meaningful (if not for them, for the people that dictate what they thimh about themselves
i fought everything infront of me because i was stupid and damaged and scared of the world. picking up my training again as a young man (as opposed to a young boy)helped me get past it. i know i have nothing left to prove
what will kevin do?
-MM
^FRAT!!!
Oh yeah, and Kimbo will never go on TUF unless they intend to pay him $$$ like EliteXC did. Do you think that he'll just from making $400K to 3K/3K? LOL!
MMAmike - ^FRAT!!!
i agree... fuck reading that. fuck that guy, he must have argued with his girlfriend and drank a bunch of jack when he posted that drivel. what a fucking douche
MMAmike rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Medic,I see the Real truth.And so do you.
Simply put,thank you.
"FRAT",my ass...
like kimbo is going to agree to this. He was getting paid how much to fight and now he's stepping back to fight for free to earn a shot? Right
all kimbo needs is...................
MOAR COWBELL!!!!!
That may very well be the FRATest post in the history of the UG.
DROC
MountainMedic - blah blah blah.............
-MM
Kimbo should take the opportunity and run with it. It made stars out of nobodies and it would be his way to find out where he belongs. Win or go home. And yes, the ratings would break all the records..........
Kimbo just needs to get into the backyard and take on his next opponent.
I'm guess he'd room with Fedor!
MM- You got a lot of FRAT feedback for that post; but, honestly, with a good professional edit I think that is one of the strongest commentary pieces I've ever read about MMA. Very poignant.
is one mic, one beat, one stage
one nigga front, [his] face on the front page...
