Kimbo Looks Bad but that's About It

Listen, I'm on the Kimbo Slice bandwagon as much as anyone. However, as much as I'm in his corner, and would pay good money to have dinner with the guy, he will get killed if he ever makes it to the UFC and fights someone like Ken Silva or Randy Couture. He's a menacing looking fellow with a beard and gold teeth, a marketer's wet dream. His decisive victory over the aptly named Tank Abbot, who is a fat booze hound that happens to fight, was pure marketing hype.

In short, Kimbo is not a serious fighter. He's fun to watch, but that's about it. Once people can't get away with making money off him anymore, they'll be forced to put him in the octagon with someone serious; they'll promote it to be the fight to end all fights, he'll get beat, and then he'll do commercials for mufflers or luggage.
