Kimbo on the new season of The Ultimate Fighter

It could be. lol. All Kimbo really has to do is win his way into the house and maybe one fight to prove Dana wrong but I don't see him going far at all if he does get into the house. I sure hope he's been training....

They aren't fighting their way into the house this season. Either because of Kimbo or because it's way too had to find 32 Heavyweights. (I'm guessing the lack of heavyweights)

Yeah, I forgot... well he's gotta win at least won fight to not be a complete failure.

Guaranteed Kimbo is going to hate at least one of the coaches. I'll be honest people, I'm going to LOVE this season now. I can't WAIT to see what's goin down in the house.

Well I hated Kimbo for the all the protection that he got from Gary Shaw but I kind of have to respect that he is taking a road to try and prove himself, if he wins this season the doubt from me stops for sure.

this would be so Awesome. it would create big feuds, then just a shame Lashley is'n in it. that would make it complete

found this post on bloodyelbow.com, some very good points

Quote:

1) Kimbo Slice + Rashad/Rampage feud + NFL Veterans = Huge Ratings
2) Gary Shaw must be PISSED. He destroyed EliteXC by betting the company on Kimbo Slice, and now Dana White will reap all the benefits of Kimbo's notoriety.
3) Now we know why there is no eliminator round - the UFC wanted to guarantee Kimbo would be on the show.
4) Did the UFC cut Kimbo a special deal? He made some big paydays with EliteXC - I assume the standard TUF contract doesn't apply to him.
5) If Kimbo somehow wins the season, he'll be the next big PPV draw for the company. Either way, he'll be on the TUF finale.
6) The UFC will likely influence the coaches to delay Kimbo's first fight as long as possible to keep people interested in the show.
7) Could Kimbo be the newest member of the Jackson camp? Rashad will likely be bringing those guys in to be his assistant coaches. What can the maestro Greg Jackson do with Kimbo Slice should he end up on Rashad's team?
8) Dana White is officially the master of the calculated freakshow risk. Brock Lesnar has been a huge PPV success and at the very very very least, Kimbo Slice will keep TUF going strong for one more season and guarantee a big fat ratings pop for the finale.
9) With Rampage, Rashad, and now Kimbo, the UFC could make some ratings breakthroughs with the African-American community.
10) There will be 15 other guys hungry to make a name for themselves in the sport. They will all be gunning to fight him - should make life in the TUF house interesting
