Is Kimbo/TapouT Sponsorship A Step Back For MMA?

Here is a guy who is famous for bullying nobodies in amateur internet videos and is now known amongst mainstream MMA fans. Kimbo has yet to beat a high calibre fighter and now he is being sponsored by the "Nike" of the MMA world. In other mainstream sports achievement comes before recognition and endorsements. Kimbo is the antithesis of high calibre athletes and quality role models like Carlos Newton, Forrest Griffin, GSP etc. What is TapouT thinking?

Do they not realize that Kimbo is hired muscle for a porn producer? Quality

It is a way to make money from other promoters promoting your t-shirt line. Put UFC Tapout on Kimbo and he wears it on CBS. More money.

As long as Kimbo is trying to be a real pro, then I would have to say it's not a big deal.....P.S. I never saw Kimbo bully anyone.
