People (teenagers mostly) sit behind their mom's computer and spout hatred and insults (Ever read the Sherdog forums? Lot of hatred going on there). The industry is about entertainment and if Kimbo can entertain, that's cool. Is he the most developed MMA guy out there? Of course not but he's well known, he's big, he's an athlete (was invited to an NFL training camp), he's intelligent (received an academic scholarship to Uni). He's a raw talent just as any guy on "The Ultimate Fighter" is. He also has the look, the big, bad looking, black guy. Guess what that sells. Get over it. Anyway the jury is still out. Maybe Kimbo will do well, maybe he won't crack the top tier fighters. Either way, Kimbo is not negative towards MMA except to the small vocal minority that keep their heads in their nether regions.

Kimbo is a "bum", he hasn't fought a real MMA'er yet, His record is 2-0, He is a thug and blah, blah, blah .. It's about time that the Kimbo Haters come up with something new.

I mean GSP, BJ, Chuck, Anderson all fight in the UFC. Dana had his chance at this contract and turned it down, I mean CBS is a nationally viewed station, you had to know the company with this contract was going to be the face of mma, and promote their most marketable fighter.
