Is Kimbo the real deal or overrated?

Written by on Friday, May 30th, 2008 in Latest News.

Ok, in this article I’ll talk about something that has been bothering me for a while now and that’s Kimbo Slice.

Slice has become a household name in no time among MMA fans thanks to his youtube vids, but my very simple question is, is he really worth all the hype?

I’ve heard alot of people saying that Slice was the next huge star in MMA and that he could take guys like Chuck Liddell and Tim Sylvia. Other people said that Kimbo was nothing and that he would be killed in the UFC.

Here’s my opinion on Mr. Slice. Ok so the guy is a fantastic STREET FIGHTER but seriously I’ve seen his fights and I’m not impressed. He has no real excellent technique you know… he’s a STREET FIGHTER. So now that he’s a huge name with MMA fans, the guy wants to start training to become an MMA fighter and people immediately talk about how he could beat up a guy like Chuck Liddell, I couldn’t disagree more.

MMA fighters are professionals, they train in boxing, wrestling, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and so much more and to compare Kimbo to these guys is a total lack of respect to them. I reckon Kimbo would get outstriked by Liddell any day of the week and by guys not even considered strikers. Do I reckon Kimbo could defend a takedown? Once out of 10 times maybe.

Then there’s this fight Kimbo Slice had with Tank Abbott not that long ago and everybody is like ” Oh my god! Slice completely dominated Tank, he’s excellent “. Listen people, I could beat Tank! Tank was a sloppy fighter years ago and he’s gotten even worst today. That fight was made for Kimbo to win, Tank was never a excellent fighter, the fights he won, well he got lucky.

So I reckon that if Kimbo Slice (and other people to) thinks he’s ready for the UFC, I say he’s crazy, I reckon he would get beaten in no time and I would really like to see it happen, so people could shut up about Kimbo.

Now I would really like to know how you people feel about Kimbo…

Is he here to stay or is he just the flavor of the month?

Joey Logano is done waiting for his shot. The 18-year-ancient developmental driver for Joe Gibbs Racing has been touted as NASCAR’s “Next Huge Thing” ever since Mark Martin pegged him as the future of the sport a few years ago. He couldn’t shave, or vote, but Logano already had the tools that made him a top prospect. Logano makes his debut today in the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway.
