Is Kimbo Slice TUF enough for the UFC? Dana White says he’s more than willing to have a spot on TUF to show if he is or not. For those of you that don’t know, Dana White has not had anything good to say about Kimbo Slice. However, Dana White still said a spot on TUF is available for the currently unemployed Kimbo Slice.
Kimbo Slice will likely be entangled in law suits and legal battles following the closing of Elite XC. It is also very doubtful that the UFC and Dana White would be willing to pay Kimbo Slice the $500,000 that he was making on his fights at Elite XC.
“What’s [Slice] done other than get 10 million hits on YouTube?,” White asked. “What’s he done to deserve to be in the UFC? Nothing. I don’t consider him a real athlete or anything. He won’t win The Ultimate Fighter. The offer’s out there if he wants to take it, (but) he won’t win it.”
This looks like it will be Slice’s only way into the UFC. Dana White and many others feel this same way. Other than being a huge hit on YouTube and knocking out nobody’s on the street, he hasn’t paid his dues to be a huge hit on the MMA scene.
I agree 100% with Dana White on this and his dead on the money. Kimbo Slice = Chump of the Year. Kimbo Slice might not even make it into the house on TUF if he tried out. We all saw what someone with decent MMA skills did to Slice, imagine what someone highly skilled and trained could do! It would be murder and Slice deserves to be torn to shreds in the octagon. I hope Kimbo Slice takes up the offer and goes on TUF but the chances are slim to none.
Kimbo knows Dana won’t put him up against people that he knows Slice can beat. In fact Dana and the UFC would probably make his fights the hardest fights he’s ever had to set him up for failure rather than success. Do it Kimbo! Prove how big of a chump you are. No matter how you “slice” it, you’re still a chump.

KImbo’s gotta realize though that this is his last chance. He’d be stupid not to take up the offer sice he’s got nothing else going for him! He just better take some of that elite XC money and get a good trainer before he even tries out! Dude needs some actual martial arts training if he wants to compeat in MIXED MARTIAL ARTS! Not at all a Kimbo fan but I will have some respect for him if he at least tries out for the show!

I agree… he would gain some respect from me as well if he tried out.

Never lost a fight? What do you call his fight against Petruzelli? He might get a lucky punch in his first fight but guaranteed that Kimbo doesn’t make it past the 2nd round.

Dude Kimbo is nothing but a street fighter that can box out chump change thugs on the streets that are half his size…seriously…Seth P, and Gannon both took his ass out. Neither of which are considered elite MMA fighters…avg at best
Kimbo = Oversized Hood Garbage with semi par boxing skills
