Does Kimbo Slice even fight anymore?

What’s a Kimbo Slice?

Sounds like a ... a... trendy drink? A new sushi bar?

Oh! I know! A new kitchen qizmo from Ronco!

This is a Kimbo Slice, he took down Tank Abbott with a couple punches...

Two men enter, one man leaves.

Ultimate Fighting was better back in the 90's with its minimal rules (no biting, eye gouging, or fish hooking). And with its lack of rounds and no time limit. Just keep going until there is a winner.

Also, the former style of bracket tournaments till one man was left standing at the end of the night was much better as well.

I attended UFC 5.

If this stuff starts being shown in SportBars/Pubs/Restaurants, etc, there should begin a boycott or a walk-out of such establishments.

Oh, and the biggest opponent of Ultimate Fighting, the cause of its eventual decline...

Sen. McCain.

Doubtful. If anything it will boost customers.

Kimbo Slice? He doesn't even register on the list of mediocre MMA fighters. He's a freak of nature that fought guys in his back yard.

The reporter could at least do some research. How about the Gracies, Matt Hughes, Georges St. Pierre, etc...

Sounds as though you find this type of brutal “sport” appropriate fare for such establishments?

Boxing is dead. Watch a boxing match on one of the old guy sports networks and look at the crowds, or lack thereof. Then look at the crowds in ultimate fighting. Not only are the crowds in boxing smaller, most of them act like they don't give a darn about what's going on in the ring.

I fought karate when I was young and dumb. We weren't as wicked as the new stuff, but I whacked a couple of guys and got whacked a few times.

I've had a couple of students who are into it. I've tried to talk to them about the damage I got, but the young think they'll live forever, and don't believe that a dislocated jaw when you're twenty will hurt in cold weather when you're fifty.

NO, I really couldn't care less what those places do.
If their management chooses mud wrestling or championship domino tournaments it's all the same to me.

I was just supporting your right to be offended and boycott them.
