I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it.

Roy Nelson may be fat but he will win this show. Way more experience then those other guys.

Plus i bet if Kimbo loses an early fight his ass will quit the show

@raspberrymight

hmm i think he meant 100% of your mentality is required, but only 70% of your physical ability, seeing as how he followed it up by “noone comes into a fight at 100%” just a thought.

i’ve always thought kimbo was pretty awesome, he cant really do shit on the ground, but its funny to see him hit people in slowmo

6’4″ and 225-230 lbs. can i join?

I’m too tired to try and explain why the physical vs. mental aspect of it all was very poorly presented by our friend Kevin. But at least he is acknowledging the ideas that preparation and mindset play into the outcome of a fight…

i completely agree with kimbo’s proposal that fighting is more mental than physical. and there is something good to be said about his mentality, he’s a fighter and only a fighter, he doesn’t want to be anything else, which you actually can’t say about all – maybe even most – guys in mma. in the least he is focused, he looks pretty cut in this interview too.

that being said, i think he’s just too old. right now we’re seeing the level of athleticism in the sport increase dramatically and that’s only going to continue.

at first when i heard heavyweight season i was stoked, but now im feeling like IrateNate might be right about how this turns out. hopefully wes sims eye gouges somebody or some shit.

Big Country gonna fuck some shit up!!!!!

Some keg stands in that group!

Marcus Jones trains out of Gracie Tampa and is a mountain of a man.

Sheps is still a moron. Glad that tea sipping, spotted dick eating, flaming fruit is out here with you guys.

Someone mentioned that this next season doesn’t have little guys with small man’s syndrome – or something ilke that – which made me realize something:

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE MOST BORING SEASON… EVA!

Why? Because big dog’s don’t need to bark, that’s why. Just gonna be a bunch of big dudes eating, sleeping, farting, and eventually gasping desperately for air like beached whales only after 1 minute into the 1st round.

“…which could mean that York and Blackledge come in as alternates for McSweeney and Rogers. Or possibly, the other way around. Or neither. Damn it feels good to be a journalist.”

Fuckin’ poetry.

I had to play where waldo to find Kimbo

Aye, when Kimbo isn’t being all “strenff of the strizeets” he can hold a conversation pretty well.

My money’s still on Roy “Big League Chew” Nelson for king of the fatties.

yea we all hate on kimbo because we say he doesn’t deserve the respect he gets … but he is just a guy tryin to make money the best way he can for his fam … tons of respect for doing TUF for zero to little money to get the experience

haven’t followed him too closely, but Roy has incredible stamina for a fat man … THis is gonna be the best TUF ever because everyone will have KO power and we don’t have to sit and watch a bunch of 155′ers with Napolean syndrome walking around thinking they are the toughest mugs ever cause they’re on TUF. plus the whole Rampage – Shad true beef thing

I’m impressed.

Kimbo sounds smarter than I had him stereotyped as.

Although it’s easy to talk shit about him when he cannot get a hold of you- I’m interested to see how good he actually ends up being. I think he has potential. His biggest downside is his own previous reputation.

He’s not an idiot, which is more than anyone can say about Brock Lesnar. Ever listened to Lesnar speak? It’s offensive to ears everywhere. Brock’s logic and word choices are about as gentle on your ears as listening to the Diaz brothers when they open their mouth.

It’ll be something to see what Kimbo is really made of…

How tall is Kimbo? He looks short as hell in this picture.

Also…did he like legally change his name to Kimbo Slice? I feel like he should go by Kevin Furguson if he wants to get more serious. I mean Jon Koppenhaver legally changed his name to Warmachine…and look what happened to him!

thats funny how they put kimbo in the middle, he’s the only draw on the show. all this does is sell rampage vs. evans.. there is some big dudes on this cast tho. kinda excited to see how it goes down.

So when Kimbo loses in his first fight how are they gonna manipulate things so he gets to come in as an alternate?

Look more closely. Rashad is team gold. Rampage is team silver. And Kimbo is team platinum.

Have to agree with Sheps about Wes Sims. I can’t see why he’s there — unless there truly is zero depth in the heavyweight ranks. Maybe if they had done another Comeback version of TUF, they could bring back Sims. I’d prefer to keep the show to UFC newcomers (even if they are vets from other promotions, such as Nelson and Danzig), so maybe it’s time for another Comeback. When I see a guy like Sims or Gabe Ruediger on the show, I feel like TUF really isn’t bringing new talent into the promotion. If they want to give fighters a second change, the Comeback format is perfect.

I hope Roy Nelson wins. Finally get some positive exposure for the Lion’s Den.

Roy Nelson is NOT going to win…….hes fat you know.

Just thinking…What “IF” that is a cardboard cut-out of Kimbo in this pic…cause…maybe it was taken after he got KO’d and left the show…???

Well it really just didn’t make any sense seeing as you said anyone 6’3-6’5 can get on which is a dumb ass 2 inch difference that doesn’t correlate correctly to peoples weight.

Im 6’1 195. Not a skinny queer nor am I that tall. Wasn’t getting mad I was just pointing out that your statement didn’t make too much sense.

831 Son,

sorry to offend the tall and embarrassingly skinny such as yourself, to which I extend an apology for my insensitive assumption that anyone over 6’3″ would weigh over 220lbs… I realize now that people come in all shapes and sizes and I shouldnt stereotype all tall people as weighing a lot.

Dojima, thats just retarded. Its the weight that matters not the height at all. You could be short as fuck like Kimbo and get on as long as you’re over 220 or whatever.

Yurko, from what I remember, these fat fucks didnt have to do shit to get on. No elimination, no fighting, just hand picked and immediately put in the house…

Gotta love that dude who “Wrestled and played football in High School” WOAH NO WAY!?!?! Seriously is that how bad heavyweights are in the U.S? They just get random fat guys off the street that might or might not have played sports in high school.

This sad group of fatties is making Kimbo look good, and wtf, why is The Project, aka fucking nut case Wes Sims there? They trying to get him into another Frank Mir head stomp rivarly again?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire cast was hand picked around the topic of “Guys Kimbo can beat”

nice one kimbo; fighting certainly is 100% mental and 70% physical… i like to put arbitrary numbers to statements as well, im 146% sure of that

so did they have to fight there way into the house or what?

Roy Nelson’s Gut should be listed as a seperate cast member

Yet another scene that would be wholly and utterly terrifying if encountered in a prison shower.

if a dude gets on the show with the only qualification being that he beat Brock Lesnar in high school, it says to me they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for dudes in the heavyweight class… so, basically anyone around 6’3″ – 6’5″ could be fighting in the UFC in less time than it takes to get an A.A. degree.

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a brawler….

Subtle indeed. Black on Black crime so they needed black on black jerseys! Hella Funny!!!!

Im actually a bit impresed by Kimbo’s new sense of humility, he actually sounds like a fighter now. Then again he might have just gotten his ass kicked on the set of TUF despite the questions they ask him.

I love how John Madsens only claim to fame is that he defeated Brock Lesnar in a high school wrestling match. THAT MEANS HE CAN BEAT HIM IN THE UFC!!

If only there was some way to write a headline with a pun on Scott Junk’s name on the the off-chance he’s a lousy fighter.

@ Soda Popinski

That giant black dude is Marcus Jones, former Buccaneers lineman. And yes, he really is that big in real life. I met him at the Waffle House in Tampa, and yes I could eat more waffles than he ever could.

Roy Nelson is like the fat pasty white YIN to Kimbo’s beefy black YANG.

I like how when Kimbo crosses his arms it looks like he’s holding them straight out in front, like he’s doing the “I Dream Of Jeannie” magic blink.

The photog had to wait 5 minutes for Roy’s FUD (fat upper dick) to stop jiggling before he could snap this pic. Seriously, he’s still going to win.

jesus kimbo really that short? num sayin…i mean im just sayin num sayin

lol, cardboard cut out.

Roy Nelson is going to dominate these clowns.

man I hope roy nelson wins, or at least gets far enough to be offered more fights in the ufc, that’s a man that wants to fight but isn’t prepared to give up beer or copious amounts of fatty foods, good man.

man, you can barely see kimbo in the picture….him being black and all ;0

who is the giant black dude to the far left?

Kimbo will be TKO’d by a running toe stomp followed up by thunderous wet-willies… any way you cut it, he aint winnin’.

U – Ultimate.

F – Fighter.

C – Certified.

I was thinking where the fuck is Kimbo, took me a minute to find him.

Why does Kimbo look like a small cardboard cut-out in this pic…lol…

When you see him, you’ll shit bricks.

first!
