Wow! What a terrible article. You have no understanding of how the fight game works. Firstly, Shaw is hand picking powderpuff opposition for Kimbo... as that is his only meal ticket. Everyone at XC is smart enough to know that any average heaveyweight would crush Kimbo in a fair MMA fight, so there is no way that they would ever match him up against anyone with even half of Lesnars talent.
Secondly, there is no way that Dana White (or anyone at UFC) would do anything to promote UFC's competition. They have no need for a sideshow like Kimbo Slice, as they have real talent.
Thirdly, you assertion that a fight between Kimbo and Lesnar would help both fighters careers is ridiculous. Kimbo would be exposed for the fraud that he is and would be unable to draw any future numbers. And Lesnar needs legitimacy. He needs to face top MMA competition. A victory over someone with the skill set of Kimbo would not benefit him at all.
I will sumerize your article so future people wont have to waste their time:
My name is Tim Beall and I like Kimbo Slice a lot. I also like Brock Lesnar. It would be really great if they fought, I would like that too.

first of all i hate kimbo. secondly i dont like brock lesnar either. third i am 100 percent sure i kno a hell of a lot more about mixed martial arts than you, seeing as i have been doing it for a while.. yea i think it would be good to see kimbo fight lesnar, and i think that lesnar would destroy him and then it would show that kimbo is not a mixed martial artist. his ground game sux. but if they stood the whole fight then kimbo would do decent and it would be good for lesnar to stand 3 rounds against kimbo( therefore helping their career.

from Kyle...it would be good for lesnar to stand 3 rounds against kimbo( therefore helping their career.)
Lesnar would destroy Kimbo in less than 2 minutes in the first round.
1. Kimbo fights in backyards for 2 minutes...not 5 minute rounds...he has no conditioning.
2. Lesnar would drop him to the ground and pound on him at will. Just a fact.
Look what he did to Mir...granted Mir is got the leg bar, but he got pounded.
I am glad Kimbo wants to learn MMA...I think he should have learned to become a complete fighter first before he so hastely jumped in the ring.

Dude! You're not an MMA writer. Kimbo wouldn't even be able to win a HW Ultimate Fighter show. Us real fans that know more about real fighters know that he's a flash in the pan.
What's next for Kimbo is to either fight a real competitor and loose or for Gary Shaw to continue to squeeze this short-term hype machine for all it's worth, as he tries to pay down his organizations mounting debt.
The truth will be told in the next 2 to 3 months when Kimbo stops being the headliner and starts working like all of the rest of the fighters to be matched against legitimate competition. He knows he needs to work on his conditioning and his ground game in order to move forward.

that's pretty funny--dude smokes and is still in a** Pounding shape. Yet, I agree-how much does this guy have left--guy's got balls, guy's big, and no way in hell I wanna take one of his punches--yet, he's no match for the likes of that dude I saw last night-Houstin? or whatever his name was? That dude's strong, agile, and accuwit, he looks like he'd kick the living crap outta Kimbo--though I don't care about either one, it is funny to watch--in a sickening/Roman Gladatorial combatic way. More to life than violence dudes.
just sayin

dude, learn English...you said "accuwit" supposed to say accurate? and you say "Houston"? as in Houston Alexander. Well he WOULD beat Kimbo and he is not even a big deal in the UFC. By the way, what is Roman Gladatorial combatic?

Kimbo has heart to step in the ring with these guys who are pro mma fighters with all that he's carrying and all of you waiting for him to fail it's a damn shame as a black man to see such haters, he didn't just step in the ring proclaiming he's the best.He went out there and worked hard to learn your sport and respect it. No he's not going to be fedor after a few months and he's not even the biggest or baddest street brawler I've seen in my hood (N.O. lousiana). But he respects your sport and all of you. Next time some real bad ass from the hood is going to step in dominate and totally disrespect mma like mike did to boxing.

let me just say, i love kimbo, he's the man. and you all know this. that fight was fake as hell. there is no way in HELL that he would lose to some no name pink haired faggot. kimbo was pissed as hell before the fight went down, i knew something bad was about to happen. kimbo didn't throw a punch and tried to get up. it's bullshit. yes, kimbo needs to train a whole lot more. but i don't see any of you losers in the ring now do i? i promise you kimbo will be back and show all you people what he is made of.. I LOVE KIMBOOOO :)
