    OK.... so I finally watched the Kimbo vs Roy fight and I have to say that I was actually pretty impressed with the amount of improvement Kimbo showed. His striking is much more precise, his take down defense was actually pretty impressive, and had he not had Jaba The Hut laying on top of him he would have easily thrown his opponent off from on top of him. I think he's going to greatly improve over the course of this show. The amount of humility that he has shown so far has me cheering for him.

    As for Roy, I hope someone knocks that fat, arrogant ***'s head off.

    I seem to recall Andrei Arlovski doing that earlier in the year. :)

    Wait. Since when am I not allowed to curse. Not that it bothers me, it's just I don't recall seeing any of my other posts censored. Actually, that's awesome. I've never been censored before! LOL

    Personally I am a HUGE UFC fan.
    I have watched them all from the first Hoyce Gracie win in UFC 1 to last weeks Franklin fight.
    j0z3r:
    I'm not necessarily a fan of Kimbo Slice, but I do give the guy some credit where it's due. He's not a trained MMA fighter, he's a street brawler, so naturally he's going to be out of his element with someone like Big Country who is a much more experienced, trained MMA fighter. In my eyes, the fact that Kimbo gave an honest effort to learn some technique and improve himself is something he deserves a bit of respect for.

    On that note, I was terribly unimpressed with Big Country. Sure he beat Kimbo and pretty well dominated him, but he looked seriously weak in the fight. The crucifix position was good, but the blows he was landing didn't impress me much as fight ending blows. And then the way he acted after the fight was another knock against him, he carried on like he'd just won a big fight in a decisive manner, which I don't think he did one bit.

    I guess what it comes down to is, whether you like Kimbo or not, whether you feel he's for real or just a gimmick, I've got more respect for the guy now than I did before. On that same note, I have a lot less respect for Rampage than before watching him on TUF. My opinions, take them for what they are.
    I have to agree on every point here. I was never a Kimbo fan, but he got points for
    1.) Being fluent in the english language.
    2.) Not being a dooshbag after losing.
    3.) Wanting to learn and
    4.) Humble as pie.

    While his loss to Roy (the cheeseburger) was based on no ground game, he did look like he was learning the ground game in practice. So I think with that loss and him coming back to compete on the show, will not only increase his drive to win and practice harder but because Rampage (a lil' baby when it comes to chat) wants to tutor him, may give him a much better 2nd chance! Besides The Cheesburger's punches were about as hard as a - well - cheeseburger! You did hear him ranting before the fight that that was his exact game plan to defeat Kimbo... raining unanswered marshmallow puff punhes that couldn't be returned or defended. Lame.

    Alright, so after watching the latest show, I've come to the personal opinion that Rampage is absolute garbage as a coach. Before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight, Rashad epitimized everything that a coach should be and do while Rampage, well, was the exact opposite. Before the fight, Rashad was giving Brendon everything he needed: pep talks, game strategy, confidence. I thought Rampage and his team were about to light up a.... well, not a cigar. They all looked stoned in their little prep room. They were just kicked back and relaxed. I do agree with Rampage that they're trying to alter to much and get these rookies to do to much, but Rashad recognized that in practice, long before the fight. After they fight, Rampage ought to have been embarrassed that Rashad and his team were in the ring doing his job for him.

    I've said all this to finally say, I still like Rampage. I think he's one of the funniest people in the business. He should just never coach again.

    Yeah... He is whack as a judge. Maybe he should do stand-up comedy hahahah... Is the Mr. T thing finalized? He IS going to play him? He wants to be the next "The Rock"... I actually like the Rock as an actor btw. He is the most successful fighter turned actor... And he can be mad funny too.. Look him in Be Cool...

    I just watched an episode of CSI (Las Vegas) and they had a guy in for questioning on a murder. He explains that they tried to beat my ass, little did they know I was an ultimate fighter. (He put the 2 guys in the hospital). lol

    Haahah... Yeah.. It's funny - you can almost not tell in the lighter divisions. And ultimate fighters are damn skilled fighters. My buddy (who fights) was jogging down the street when a car drove buy and some hot-ass high school jocks were all shouting at him and being asses. Well, he run right towards the car and kick their side door so hard that it got indented inwards haahhaha. The jocks were scared shitless haahahah... My other favorite story with him is when I went to his gym (more like Luke Cummo's gym whom I like cause he drinks his own urine) and part of the training was the guys just getting directly hit in their legs. They just stood there and got kicked one after the other. I remember (since it was my first time) I was like - ok Ima wear a mat and when my friend kicked me I literally flew 3 feet to the side haahahhh... I was like - daamn... Anyway.. enough.

    Update on this. Apparently Rampage Jackson is coming out of retirement and back to the UFC. Either he realized that he can't act, or he saw that he acted like a *** while on TUF. Either way hopefully now we can get the Rashad/Rampage fight.

    Kimbo's fight last night showed him improving his MMA skills, beating Houston Alexander. Houston is no slouch, and was totally dominated by a "backyard brawler" who has the ability to learn, improve, and become a more rounded fighter. You can say whatever you want about him, but he has heart like a true MMA fighter should. I got a lotta respect for him last night.
