On August 14 we posted an article about prominent NFL players being inspired by EliteXC heavyweight star Kimbo Slice. Thanks to Rear Naked News we now have the gratuitous footage to prove it.

That’s “real talk.”

kimbo “training” a NFL player!??
kimbo is a joke and should stick to
fighting guys at “taco bell”
I would actually like to
see the ufc pick him up on a 2 fight contract hype him then let him get DOMINATED by unknown Caine or velasquez and maybe even a quick donky konging from lesnar!!

Kimbo trains NFL guys to hit like hoodrats
and Caleb Starnes works on their running drills!!!!!

Cain is Velasquez. It’s the guys first and last names.

Now THAT’s funny. I thought the same thing about this post. I also love it when meat-heads don’t get the subtle self-deprecation in entertainment pieces like this video. How many actually believe Kimbo’s really training Tomlinson here? And how many feel so angry that they need to run out to their favorite MMA site and bash Kimbo by throwing out the names of ANY heavyweights they know (or clearly don’t know…) who could beat him.

Kimbo sucks, we know, but I actually thought this vid was pretty amusing.

2008-08-17 16:42:03

IMO what’s REALLY funny about this video is that Kimbo KNOWS the meatheads will run and blog anonymously on threads about it, while he’s laughing all the way to the bank! I don’t hate the guy, i’d never, never, ever bet on him, but he’s doing a great job at getting a little more than a paycheck and 15 minutes of fame from all this.

Pretty sure LT will never do this again.

Not to mention, this was probably a publicity event.

its for a nike spot.

If Nike is choosing Kimbo for the ads now they are seriously going….check that. They have already got to the bottom of the hill. I have to go burn anything I have with a ’swoosh’ on it now.

Comment by Scott
2008-08-17 15:03:47

I find it funny that someone would take a stand against Nike for an advertisement like this. We are talking about a company that has been eager to pay millions to coaches and professional athletes to endorse their products that are made in sweatshops overseas. Seriously man, they wouldn’t even agree to pay a modest wage to produce their products in the U.S. and you’re getting bent out of shape over them using Kimbo in an advertisement. I’m all for people not buying Nike, but if it’s because of an ad like this–that’s just laughable.

True Scott! LMAO! It’s ok to buy NIke while it’s being made by child labor, but not as soon as they hop on the Kimbo bandwagon?

Comment by Kenton
2008-08-17 14:27:02

That’s what I thought. As a black man I was embarrassed by this clip.The scary thing is, this isn’t just some BS youtube clip. Nike plans to advertise their products with this.

Comment by Machine
2008-08-18 09:06:34

Kenton, you cant be serious. “Embarrassed”? For what? It’s a joke for crying out loud. I can understand if its not your type of humor but dont belittle Kimbo. It’s actually gotten him pretty far in life. It’s more embarrassing for black men like me to see black men like yourself “Uncle Tom” with comments like yours rather than being supportive. Being “black” just like any other race on the planet has many facets and multiple levels of culture. Kimbo happens to display one facet that suburbia happens to be intimidated by and your comment only empowers their unjustified and ignorant fears. I’m no fan of the guy but Kimbo was given an opportunity in MMA. He respects the sport and willingly admits that he’s a beginner and has alot to learn. Yet after all the respect he gives to the sport we love we fail to return that same respect to him……………twisted.

Kimbo training LT? Guess that means that LT is going to gas in the first quarter and have to be carried off the field because he can’t make it under his own power?!? I just don’t understand why being ghetto is cool…

I went to college with LT, graduated a few years ahead of him, but our time there did overlap a little. He has always been a quiet, humble, respectful, hard-working kid and stayed that way after hitting the NFL jackpot. I can’t for the life of me figure out why he’s running around with this two-bit thug.

He could have been a huge success like you and been posting in MMa forums instead of being a multi million dollar star

he might have but he did have a huge point.. guilt by association is how a lot of stars get taken down or just put in the light and found out for what they do already..

No biggie. I’ll be a huge success when I place a few Kevin-esque 10,000 Disney Dollar bets on the next PPV.

because its an advert.

yeh, its sets lower class blacks in america back a bit, but theres worse shit out there in the media.

im sure he’s not ‘running around’ with kimbo. its for an advert.

kimbos humble anyways – ive never seen an interview with him where he doesnt mentioned hes ‘learning the craft’ of mma.

Lol, I just had to throw sarcasm in there. Calling someone a “moran” by misspelling moron is like calling someone an “idyit.” Always spellcheck when saying others are unintelligent!

Kimbo better ditch partying and this media crap. He needs to get down to business. He needs to train non-stop if he wants to prove the “haters” wrong.

Pure entertainment, anyone that thinks that this is anything more than a way to get a few laughs shouldn’t take the NFL, MMA or life that serious.
