Anyone who believes kimbo at his current knowledge is even considered a contender to someone at the caliber of chuck liddells skill set.

kimbo has yet to fight any formitable fighters
If kimbo could beat tito ortiz
Randy Couture
Bob Sapp
Mirko Cro Cop
Shogun
anyone.. who isnt over 40 or just turning 18
I’d consider him to have talent
No doubt training with Bas will help but hes too old and my concern is hell never be anything for tht reason
let kimbo try to fight chuck i need a good laugh

STFU. Shut the f* Up! Only douchebags like you & Chuck Lidell hate on people who don’t hate on you. If Chuck thinks he beat Kimbo he needs to STFU and prove it. Talking don’t mean sh*!, show & prove b*tches! MMA fights can go either way, Every man for himself. The dumbest thing someone can do is underestimate an opponent.

Um…Kimbo vs Brock Lesnar…Um…Yeah…Brock gets hand raised in at the most 2 1/2 min. the bottom line is as long as Kimbo is in the Elite XC he will be a C level fighter.

I agree. I think if they fight, then it might be one of the few times you would see Liddell take down his opponent.

Liddell would work his spots and expose Kimbo. But man that is a fight I would be rooting extremely hard for Kimbo.

Why, I don’t understand why you hate Chuck so. Personally I think Kimbo ought to keep quiet he is in nowhere near that league of fighting. Whose he fought - nobodys and hasbeens oh and the odd dockyard fighter.

Lets just remind you that Chuck has knocked out Randy twice, yep twice, no one has ever repeated that. The guy is a great fighter, Kimbo is a good fighter but thats all. I would love to see this but it won’t happen and Kimbo would get sliced anyhow!!!

He didn’t call Chuck out until Chuck made comments about Kimbo. Chuck initiated.

While watching the video, I was thinking “You know, I’d really like to see this fight, and would LOVE to see Kimbo KO The Iceman.” I thought that I would be the only one thinking that besides that “chuck gives dana oral pleasure” fool that ain’t been around for a while now, oh yeah, ‘overratedchucky’ was his name.

LOL….i think it was chucksux???

Yeh I’d like to see the fight too, either way, and yes Chuck did throw the first blow, but then Chuck is in a position to call out Kimbo…not the other way around. Second to that…Is Chuck the ONLY guy out there that has questioned Kimbo’s MMA stature?? No way, at least Chuck will be one of the few who isn’t trying to use Kimbo for his own exposure. I don’t think Chuck is the only guy to have called out Kimbo since his MMA release.

This fight will probably never happen..But we will get to hear Dana and Gary Shaw talk a bunch of shit about each others most popular fighters..They fight like a married couple..
And the only way to resolve most of their problems with each other is to, have EXC fighters fight UFC fighters..But tht will never happen, so look forward to alot of shit-talking, and no fights…boo :(

how can you say kimbo is not in the position to call out chuck? once chuck bashed him in front of the mic, was kimbo supposed to keep quite and act like a coward? I’m sure that a fight between the two would end quick and it wouldn’t be in kimbo’s favor, but got to respect the man for not putting his tail between his legs and addressing chucky. Kimbo is 100% right, if anyone has a problem with him go tell him face to face, chuck is being a hater because kimbo is now going to be on mainstream tv and will end up having more fans that chucky, as bas said, chuck is jealous. no doubt chuck would win in a fight, but he’s jealous because kimbo is going to grow bigger than him in popularity.

You are right linx..
Kimbo said he has “nothing but love” for MMa fighters..And he does not call out people, he was just defending himself.
I respect Kimbo for the approach he has taken with his MMa career, and responding to haters..Im not saying he is the next best thing, but dude has alot of poential..And it shows how serious he is, by training with Bas…
Good for Kimbo.
People got to look past the street-fight, youtube Kimbo, and treat him like an up and coming MMa fighter..

Of course probably most people laughing and finding this video funny either 1. Hate Chuck or 2. Don’t really know anything about MMA. Anybody who knows MMA knows Kimbo is overhyped and Chuck was just stating the obvious. Everybody here is all over Kimbo’s d*ck, and why? Because he knockout Tank? or that Bo guy? Chuck has fought the best of the best at LHW and deserves to be considered one of the best MMA fighters of all-time.

And if they did fight, Chuck would use his boxing,kickboxing,wrestling and jj background to take care of Kimbo. End of story. Everybody on here hating on Chuck just get off of the computer and move out of your mom’s basement

Chuck hardly ever uses proper kickboxing and never uses jj or wrestling. So saying that, if it just came to a slugging match whicj is probably what it would be, Kimbo definately has every chance of knocking Chuck out. If he was to hit Chuck first, Chuck would be going down I don’t care how great you think he is. Kimbo connects on his jaw it will be game over.

why do people say kimbo has so much potential? starting wrestling and bjj at 30 is a huge disadvantage. Also since when is bas rutten such an awesome trainer? Who else does he train? Carlos Newton, Kevin James!!!(the king of queens guy) And for people that say he is a respectable mma fighter might have missed his fight with tank where he donkey punched him repeatedly and then starting to shove the little ref around.

Kimbo just re-signed a deal with EliteXC. Gary Shaw would LOVE to put Kimbo against Chuck. Dana is the one that would need to be spoken to in order for the fight to go down, but since he doesn’t co-promote, its not happening anytime soon.

Comment by alexguy
2008-04-24 11:16:17

kimbo is a very ignorant stupid man. Shaw knows a fight with chuck wont happen so i bet hes gonna come out and act like he would let kimbo fight chuck. If shaw knew it was a possibility he would avoid talking about the whole situation in fear that the face of his company would get destroyed(which he would). Shaw wont even give him a solid opponent in exc. He should at least be fighting that rogers guy that just beat thompson.

VM, how can you possibly think that? Shaw will talk all day long, but he would NEVER, and I mean NEVER put Kimbo against Chuck. Although Kimbo stands a puncher’s chance, in all liklihood Chuck would kill him, thus damaging Shaw’s biggest name. And Dana would never agree to that fight b/c if hell froze over and Kimbo won, that would give Shaw credibility. Dana would rather suck a d*ck than give Shaw that. Oh, wait,…….maybe that wasn’t the best way to put that.

True….UFC can afford to have Chuck KO’d more than XC can afford to have Kimbo sparko, and the odds wont be in their favour (EliteXC) so its a bigger risk for them IMO.

2008-04-24 14:51:09

Again…im pointing out that if you watch the fights, he gets CLOCKED many times and it doesnt faze him. And we are talking solid shots. I dont care, training or no training, form or no form you throw a punch with intent and it lands, damage is going to be done. i dare anyone to disagree.
Kimbo has a solid chin and.. hes a brotha.. like roulette.. ALWAYS BET ON BLACK!(end of passenger 57 quotes)

No he does not, he hardly gets hit, some of the guys don’t even manage to hit him all fight. When he did get hit he went down very quickly, yes he got up but in mma he would have been murdered by a wrestler or BJJ guy as soon as he hit the floor.

He hits very hard I agree with that but he hasn’t fought anybody with any reasonable skills apart from maybe Gannon. Even then he couldn’t knock that guy out and he hit him hard and then lost.

I feel sorry for him because they are pumping him like he is the best in MMA that is why people like Chuck call him out. Do you blame them they have worked hard to get where they are unlike Kimbo so far.

2008-04-24 17:10:18

Sorry Nuts. You apparently have not watched his fights. I HATE HATE HATE kimbo. i think his image being pushed as former street fighter turned mma star overnight is rediculous for the sport. However, he does NOT drop quickly. You saw the gannon fight. Great. but he did not drop quickly. Remember that this is also the guy who took on 2 seperate Krav Maga Black belts and owned. Now, take krav maga for what its worth( a much more intense tai bo), but if anything it teaches you how to strike. Gotta give him his due. he is tough and a lot and Fro-ier than Lidell

I’ve got to side with Chuck and all other MMA guys here. Kimbo’s image is one MMA fighters have worked so hard to discard. I’d love to see the fight happen, but Chuck or any experienced MMA guy would absolutely kill Kimbo. Big and stupid will go down to smart and skilled 9 out of 10 times.

big and stupid, kimbo was a highly touted linebacker comin out of high school and he went to the university of miami on scholarship. that’s right NCAA D1!!!he’s not some big clumsy stupid idiot, i’d say he’s pretty athletic, and pretty intelligent. where did chuck’s athletic ability take him. Cal Poly?? do they still have a men’s athletic department, what division football do they play, they don’t even give scholarships do they?! chuck’s not near the athlete this guy is and he’s not nearly as big and strong. if u think those guys kimbo fought on the internet were p*ssy’s, then u find someone willing to put up 10 g’s on a backyard bareknuckle fight and tell me u can find someone willing to do that who’s a p*ssy. i’d say everyone of those guys were game opponents and wasn’t any punks, most were bouncers at night clubs on south beach that are real night clubs, not bar and grills in san luis obispo

WTF does football and what school they went to have to do regarding MMA?! Who gives a shit if the guy can play football or how athletic he is? He’s not saying that he’s intellectually stupid!

What we’re talking about here is the image of the sport. MMA has had a bad rap from the beginning that the fighters are all knucklehead thugs and we’re finally educating people that this just isn’t the case. Then Kimbo makes dumbass comments like that, and challenging Chuck to a bare knuckle street brawl. Don’t get me wrong, I like Kimbo, he’s a great personality and I’d love to watch him mature as a pro MMA fighter but an attitude like that will do nothing for him or the sport.

if chuck would’ve been athletic enough to play D1 football, he would’ve. if chuck’s hands were good enough to be a pro boxer, he would’ve. but he’s not, kimbo has him outclassed, outsized, out…everything. just for instance,if any guy in the ufc had been skilled enough to play in the nfl, they would be there, trust me. well, in mma, athleticism has everything to do with how good u can be, if ur quicker, faster, more agile, more explosive than ur opponent, ur probably goin to win. it’d be like saying shawne merriman, linebacker for the san diego chargers, is a p*ssy, he’s about 6′4 245, and runs probly a 4.5 forty. he’s faster and more athletic than anyone of that size in the ufc, and he’s gonna be bigger and stronger than anyone in the ufc who might could match his speed. it’s just the nature of physics and it’s in kimbo’s favor

Football has nothing to do with MMA. I have some very large athletic friends in the NFL and I train BJJ with an instructor that walks around at 165 lbs. Trust me when I say that my BJJ instructor could take care of himself against any of my friends in the NFL.

Is Kimbo big, strong, fast, etc.? Yes, on all counts. Can Kimbo defend a take down or sub attempt? That remains to be seen.

A top tier football player doesn’t make a top tier mixed martial artist.

Football is NOT the benchmark by which all athletes are marked!
I will agree he is an athlete, the point Devin was making is he is an un-qualified, street fighting thug who does NOTHING good for the name of MMA. Dana and all those who know, have been trying to convince the world that MMA fighters are exactly the opposite of Kimbo…i.e…professionals and not just guys who would otherwise be brawling in bars…or parking lots!

right on bro wrestlers tend to be better athletes! nfl guys dont tend to have cardio because they have so many breaks in the play!i doubt any wide reciever could fight in mma for two 5 minute rounds!
im tellin you this cause i train balls out 15 hours a week on conditiong and strenght and i know for a fact nfl guys dont train to have the cardio that soccer or rugby players do!
and i cant even go balls out for 2 x 5 minutes
when people say athlete they think strength speed and explosiveness in short stints but they ignore stamina

Do you know what determines which sport has the best athletes? Money. Our best athletes want to grow up to be football players or basketball players. It is also that same reason that prevents us from being competitive on the world stage in things such as soccer.

In Brazil, they care so much more about soccer(and pay more) that their best athletes play soccer. I wonder why they dominate World Cups?

So, wrestlers and fighters are some amazing athletes–world class. The requirements to fight are very unique. But fighters are not the best athletes–not by a long shot. Until our best young athletes start trickling into MMA because its “cool” enough or it has enough popularity, I don’t think you can really say they are the best.

Your argument went out the window when you put University of Miami and the word scholarship in the same sentence. The guys who fought Kimbo are not p*ssies. To fight in unsafe, unsanctioned backyards, docks, alleys etc., takes guts. Just not much brains. The reason people slam on those guys is simply b/c so many idiots think that backyard fighting equates to MMA. It doesn’t. Not even a little. Not one teensy bit. Kimbo should be given respect b/c he’s trying to train the right way and learn with the right people. But no credit (MMA wise) should be given due to the fact that someone beat up UNTRAINED, UNPROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS.

This aint got nothing to do with dana and if chuck doesn’t settle up himself, he’s a PUNK, prison PUNK at that. don’t get agents and ceo’s involved chuckie, handle up like a man would!!!

Chuck has fought and won kickboxing matches, do you remember Babalou eating Chucks shin? Dont think ive ever seen Kimbo throw a kick yet. Its got every thing to do with MMA, its the SPORT that these guys are both PROFESSIONALY employed in. The only reason that this fight wont happen is because Kimbo will never get signed to the UFC as he is not a fighter to showcase the sport, he is a internet prize fighter who is unlucky enough to be exploited by Elite XC.

ok, boxing and kickboxing, what else has chuck shown, come on now, this is mixed martial arts right, oh yeah, and maybe some some wrestling takedowns that any man alive could do, a form tackle of wandy silva, yeah, a lot of technique involved in that, any jr. high football player knows that technique. chuck vs. kimbo might be a sanctioned mma fight, but really, how many martial art techniques would be on display. chuck only uses kicks when he has to, kimbo hasn’t needed to use them yet, anybody can throw a leg kick, me or u could do that, chuck isn’t a skilled practitioner of the arts, he’s a fighter, so is kimbo, and that’s what it would be, a man on man FIGHT!!! and chuck would lose, he lost 2 straight up fights to rampage. no martial art skill involved, just a straight up ‘pride gets in the way’ man to man combat fight

 
Comment by UKmmaBOY
2008-04-24 11:42:37

Every fight is a man on man fight. Chuck has the technique to VARY his fighting style, he has one of the best takedown defenses in MMA and that ability allows him to dictate the fight and keep it where he wants it. Kimbo lost to Sean Gannon who got DESTROYED in the UFC, can really see Kimbo lasting more than a round with Chuck.

ya’ll are talking about the same thing but don’t even know it. what it boils down to is “who would whoop on who?”. Go ahead and follow the propaganda and call it a sport if you want to. point blank: martial arts was invented as a means to getting the beatdown done. can’t argue with that. Kimbo is already famous for getting the beat down done in all those bare knuckle fights. So essentially, he’s been in the game for years and taught himself SOME skills needed for the “sport”. don’t get it twisted. the goal in street brawls and mma contests are the same. 1 is just sanctioned and regulated. The people who say that Kimbo shouldn’t be the face of mma are haters and sound borderline prejudice (yes, i’ll catch heat for saying that). They label him as a street thug, when the guy has credentials as an athelete and nonformal experience as a fighter. He probably doesn’t deserve this much exposure having so little fights but he’s a big draw.

deuce4 has a point about chuck taunting Kimbo while hiding behind Dana. Dana won’t let chuck go over to EXC. They’re trying to lure Kimbo over to UFC is what it is. On top of that, putting dirt on his name and Chuck taking away his credibility would almost force Kimbo to take action by proving himself in the UFC. its all business, and would only hurt Gary Shaw by the time the fight is booked. We already know Kimbo is good to go RIGHT NOW. but is Chuck? and if he is, lets see him get past the UFC beuracrocies.

did u not hear GSP talking after the fight in montreal not to hate on serra since all they were doing was hyping the fight???? so to all you overated chucky fans, ease up on kimbo! we all know why you hate the “brotha”, i mean what other possible reason would you hate KIMBO for??? he hasnt said or done a damn thing wrong since he started MMA…

Chuck would pick him apart. Toe to toe swinging Kimbo may take it, but as far as I am concerned it’s b.s. anyhow. Just like that retard Melvin guillard…”nobody will stand with me, I got these for em” no kidding…its MMA. Why bother swinging when they can easily take your standing only dumbass down and twist things off. I cant wait till somebody chokes this thug out!!!

I wanna see Kimbo fight someone with some talent before he starts Chuck out. Although he has proved himself as having a pretty good chin in his street fights, they were just that. I’m not trying to take anything away from Kimbo at all. I just wanna see him go up against someone with a little more MMA talent and experience.

Comparing Page and Kimbo is sooooo premature. Page has proved it against top comp. Kimbo is fighting little more than cans, Thompson is just another example. I want to see Kimbo fight one of the Red Devils, specifically Roman Zentsov.

what’s there to analyze in a fight. i analyze that kimbo is a bigger rampage, and rampage was too big and powerful for chuckie. no matter how skilled one might be, a big right is turning their lights out. if rampage can do it, if couture can do it once, lol, kimbo might break chucks jaw. i spell like i do for a reason, why do u make chef daddy one word? u a cook

 
Comment by chefdaddy
2008-04-24 15:34:58

I think comparing Kimbo to Rampage is an insult to Rampage. And I’m not a Kimbo hater. Kimbo has been very effective against untrained fighters and only time will tell if he can do anything with the world’s elite, most of whom have been beaten by Rampage. As Kimbo has fought so little as of yet professionally, there’s no way to compare him to Rampage at all. Does he have a ground game? How’s his takedown defense? What’s his conditioning? And yes, a big right can turn anyone’s lights out. But a skilled fighter avoids, blocks or absorbs that right far more often than not and turns it to his advantage. And there’s a million things to analyze in a fight. Someone’s strengths, weaknesses, tendencies etc. By studying those is how a fighter comes up with a general plan of attack. And yes, I am a cook. I just happen to be called chef at my restaurants.

If he can make it that far, great. He obviously isn’t scared of anyone, and needs time, training, experience with lots of different camps etc. to become more seasoned and well rounded. Unfortunately, he needs to get out from under Gary Shaw’s (douchebag) shadow and fight with another organization down the line. Hopefully he has knowledgeable people surrounding him with his best interest at heart.

just because a man can throw some hard leather and trains with a legend and submitted a guy that was going downhill in his career anyways doesnt mean he can just take out a vet like that lol. im not even talking about kimbo himself.. i love the guy he stands up for himself!. but the past comment was for those “ey i knocked my sister out, so now i can take out the bully’s at my school” mma critics .. lol stay real please. Chuck will be sitting back in his chair throwing twigs in all the holes of kevin’s game.

Wasn’t Chuck the one to call Kimbo out and say shit about him? Is Kimbo just supposed to take it dry in the hoop because it’s Chuck Liddell saying it and Chuck is the “God” of MMA. Screw that. You gonna talk smack expect a response. Kimbo never said anything about Chuck. Chuck started the calling out. If you really don’t like him and think you can smash him and in the process help Dana eliminate some competition by exposing EliteXC as a lesser product, than when your UFC contract is up, sign on to Elite for one fight and murder Kimbo and expose him. Until then shut up Chuck. I’m a huge UFC fan but calling out someone as a fraud or lesser talent when you know you will never have to face him is cowardly.

who did i call retarded or whatever??? nobody, i could say all these people on here who thought chuck would kill rampage are retarded. and most of the people on this post who are saying chuck would kill kimbo are the same ones that said chuck would kill rampage. most everybody thought that, look how that turned out. rampage dominated chuck in pride, and he ko’d him in ufc. big, strong, physical guys who like to mix it up, like rampage and kimbo, give chuck fits. all the skill in the world wouldn’t have helped chuck beat rampage, rampage was physically too much, just as kimbo is physically too much for chuck to handle

Chuck has defeated fighters like
Randy Couture twice
Vitor Belfort
Tito Ortiz twice
Babalu Twice
Wanderlei Silva
Guy Mezger
Kevin Randleman
Who has Kimbo beaten besides Tank Abbot who was on like a eight fight losing streak. Chuck is a veteran and it wouldn’t even be close and to try to place Kimbo in the same class with Rampage is crazy. Let me know when Kimbo fights someone even half as talented as any of the names on this list.

What Kimbo is saying is just in response to all the people talking crap on him. He’s tired of it and I don’t blame him one bit; all he’s saying is back it up or stfu. Of all the people criticizing him, I don’t see any of them lining up to get a piece. I’d love to see him fight Chuck, but I think we all know Dana has way too much to lose to let it happen.

In my opinion kimbo should be glad of the exposure it got him. I mean, stevie wonder could tell by watching a kimbo fight that he is not & will never be a top contender in mma as all he has is a big punch.
If Dream do go ahead with there Heavyweight Grand Prix later this year let’s see if kimbo has the balls to enter as Dream have already stated they are open to fighters from other promotions getting in on the act…… could you imagine maybe the Emelianenko brothers, Silvia, Barnett, Arlovski….just to name a few. It could be awesome???
Anyway kimbo, you just keep going on doing your “thang” & i’m sure top fighters will start lining up to fight you……NOT!!!!!

Kevin Ferguson is not the problem. I won’t pay to watch his fights, but as long as he’s not in the UFC doing rhe Brock Lesnar thing and taking octagon time away from professional fighters who worked to earn their shot, I could care less whether someone wants to give him a contract or not.

The problem are his idiot, ignorant, semi-literate fanboys who know nothing about MMA but for some reason think that if they yell, curse and threaten enough, a guy who beat a few cans will be universally recognized as a top contender.

I understand why Kimbo had to respond to Chucks comments and I give Kimbo credit for standing up for himself. However, I think that Kimbo is way too overrated. He fought bums on the street and got popular because of the internet… plain and simple. Kimbo has not proven himself yet.

Kimbo Slice is the biggest waste of air. He fights people who are on their last leg, of course he’s going to win. Oh wait, my bad, I guess those so called “street fights” of his proved how tough he was. I mean it must take a big man to take down some fat old men who can’t even fall without losing their breath.

 
Comment by MMA Mama (sort of)
2008-04-24 16:54:14

Chuck and Dana BOTH initiated the war of words between Liddell and Ferguson.

Kimbo is a very strong, determined striker. He is not a technical counter puncher like Chuck, Kimbo comes right at you. This is the perfect fight for Liddell on his feet because he will see the holes in Kimbo’s game and expose them immediately.

Kimbo is a decent fighter, I like him he’s very entertaining and very easy to promote (much to the liking of Gary Shaw). However, he is still new in the sport of MMA and is not in a position nor does he have the necessary experience to seriously challenge Liddell at this point in his career.

Chuck called him out first, so I don’t fault Kimbo for saying stuff back because in Kimbo’s head he can beat Chuck. I would love to see this fight in the future, right now is not the time, especially considering all the fighters (nameably Evans and Irvin among others) that have worked their way up to a spot where they can challenge Liddell.

think if this fight ever happened, then hack would make sure chuck uses lots of leg kicks, keep a distance, work the jab, wear out kimbo, few take downs, then take him out with punches, just to expose kimbo! chuck just gave his honest opinion on kimbo when asked, he didnt call him out, just a general observation, think he’s earned that right! sure kimbo is only starting out, but so did every other fighter, the majority of whom have had tougher fights to begin with, bo, tank, and now thompson, at least lesnar wanted mir!!

 
Comment by CT
2008-04-24 18:59:31

I’ve never seen more retarded comments in my life. 1. Chuck was responding to a questiong about Kimbo. He gave his opinion, and he is right. Chuck didn’t go out of his way to “hate on” Kimbo, he simply responded to a question that he’s been getting asked repeatedly by many of the same dumb fucks who post on every Kimbo story.
2. No one should think that Kimbo is a better fighter than Chuck for the simple fact that Chuck has beat the shit out of a laundry list of professional fighters, whereas Kimbo has beat two jabrones.
3. Kimbo is in an organization that will continuously match him up against glass jawed opponents who only want to stand up with him. They can try to build him into whatever they want, but sooner or later their strategy will fail and Kimbo will lose to one of the nobodies he’s being paired against.
4. Dana White and the Fertittas know far more about the sport of MMA than you do, they have millions riding on this. Bringing in a ‘thug’ and promoting him as a street fighter only sets back all the hard work Zuffa accomplished in the last 7 years. Believe me, if Kimbo ever beats someone good you’ll see him in the UFC.

The most ridiculous comment I read was someone saying that Kimbo is a bigger, stronger version of Rampage.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Rampage is an MMA veteran with fights against the top competition in Pride and the UFC. Win or Lose, Rampage has fought guys like Shogun Rua, Ninja Rua, Liddell, Henderson, Linland, and Wandy. Kimbo has fought no one.

Even if his learning curve is high, at age 30, his natural athletic ability will only be decreasing.

Personally, I’d like to see a Muay Thai striker like a Brandon Vera surgically pick Kimbo him apart with leg kicks, knee, and elbow strikes.

Sorry Kimbo, but Liddell right. Kimbo went from being a porn companies payroll, driving around in limo’s and clubbin’ with the sperm depositories, to a full fledged MMA career. Hmmmmmmm. A lot of other guys have been in the game a lot longer, done more and paid more dues. There’s a pretty visible line between fighting any geek on the street, and years in the ring or octagon.

Add to the fact that Kimbo has never been hit as hard as Chuck can hit. So if Slice thinks it’ll be a calkwalk, and a punch comparable to one of the geeks on the street, he is sadly mistaken.

I have a good card, everyone gets rich……at the top of the card……Liddell vs. Slice, and that fool Anderson Silva vs. Roy Jones Jr. (boxing match). I would pay 100 dollars to watch Roy PEPPERSAUCE Silva.
