There'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no more pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
I've always been critical of Kimbo and said it a thousand times, that against a half decent fighter he would get demolished. But Dakstang is right. Business is business and Kimbo can draw, so why is Dana bashing him, when he could just sign him and make a few extra bucks. I dont get it.

Do you have a reason not to give The Half Boy your vote for the Hall of Fame?
It was Elite XC who built Kimbo up like they did. Not Kimbo.
I think Kimbo has the potential to be a great MMA fighter. He was being trained by one of the best (Bas Rutten). He was pushed too far too fast. Anyone can get knocked out if they are hit right. That doesn't mean he sucks, that means nothing really.
Kimbo just needs more experience and if Dana White's ego wasn't as big as Texas he wouldn't be talking crap about Kimbo and get him in the UFC and let him work his way up.
Dana White is douche bag.

Maybe I said he cannot draw ratings anymore due to the huge drop in ratings during the last card on CBS BEFORE he lost..
I can only imagine what they would be like now.
I'd think people would be more interested in seeing him fight now that he has a loss on his record. Everyone would be waiting to see him lose again out of morbid curiosity.

Ok, I have zero opinion on Kimbo. I've seen one fight off his, and that was his loss, but I'm very amused by all this talk about the huge numbers that Kimbo draws. Somebody please tell me why, if Kimbo is drawing such massive numbers, EXC is gone, and how he is drawing anything that would effect UFC's numbers so greatly when UFC are already owning every other MMA organisation that walks by a TV?
Dana White is a business man plain and simple. If Kimbo was drawing noticable numbers, Dana would sign him. Hell, he's offered Kimbo a chance to prove himself, so maybe he does have an appeal that Dana has noticed.

Elite XC was just dumb. And one man can't make a show.
Dana White is an asshole. He just wants to make it look like UFC is so much better than any other organization and he used Kimbo as an example.

Kimbo Slice is still a more recognizable name than any of the chodes in UFC. Go ask 100 random people to name an MMA fighter and I guarantee you most of them will say Kimbo Slice. Dana White is a faggot with a girl's name.
But that faggot with a girl's name has made more money in an year, than you will in your life.
I think they should do what EliteXC did and put him against nomame fighter #12 and watch the noname win. Slice is a fraud and he deserves to be back fighting in backyards, not in the Octagon.
