Kimbo Slice Just Lays There

September 30th, 2009--I could not believe what I saw; Roy Nelson takes Kimbo Slice down to the mat, crucifixes him, then taps Slice on the forehead until Herb Deanstopped the fight.  I thought Nelson was afraid of hurting Kimbo, and that was why the love taps.  I am serious; those strikes were not the type of blows that are intended to hurt an opponent.  He was tapping for points until the ref stops the fight, and it worked.  Nelson's strategy was to take down Kimbo if Kimbo was doing alright standing, which he was.  Nelson easily took him down, despite the year under the tutelage of Bas Rutten; despite all the help and leadership, coaching from everyone interested in Kimbo.  How could he forget all that training so quickly.  He can punch hard and he is very good at boxing, for a guy with limited training, most of which he learned by fighting on the streets (backyards).  How can he forget all that mat training.  Everything Rampageshowed him.  They tried to make everything second nature for Kimbo, yet when Nelson took Kimbo down, he just laid there, absolutely doing nothing to get out of his predicament.  He just laid there. It reminded me of a dear in the headlights.  I was so disappointed in him, I was sick!   How can one forget everything he was taught?  I can understand some things he didn't train as much in, but the whole package?  Got me sick!   He should have swung like a crazy man, every time Nelson lowered his shoulders.  He should have continued to strike Nelson, until Nelson was on his back, but what did he do?  just laid there.  I could have died that night. 

Now, he gets a second chance to try it again.  To redeem himself.  He has to retain something this time, or else, why be there?  Kimbo, if you can not learn how to avoid laying on your back, and roll over at least, if you can't fight, if you choose to lay on your back, not even flailing your arms or legs, you need to give up this dream, because it is not for you.  Go back to the backyards or something, because you do not belong.  You are much better than that, so why lay on your back, acting like you are really fighting, when you are doing nothing, but laying on your back, getting a song drummed onto your forehead, by Roy Nelson.  I saw those strikes; they could not break eggs, so why stay there?  Did you actually think ,since Dean also saw how light those strikes were that he was not going to stop the fight?  He told you to get in a better position, to defend yourself, so why didn't you?  The next fight I watch of you, if you do not fight from the mat, if you just lay there like you did against Nelson, I will lead the charge to get you out of the UFC.  You just laid there and weren't even tired yet.
