Kimbo Slice: A Man in Desperate Need of a Positive Attitude
(Kimbo, if the diet plan includes cocaine, cigarettes, and vomiting, it's possible that you may be getting weight cutting advice from the wrong people.)
As the only fighter from season ten of "The Ultimate Fighter" to get a spot on the finale without winning a single fight in the tournament, you might think Kimbo Slice would be stoked simply to be getting the opportunity to show what he can do. Considering the fact that he's a heavyweight who is being handed a custom-made catchweight bout with a non-grappler from the weight class below his, you might even expect him to be damn near chipper about the whole thing. You'd be wrong.
On a media conference call to discuss this weekend's finale fights, Slice revealed that he's been struggling to make the roughly twenty-pound weight cut. Though he only has to get down to 215 pounds, Slice said that so far the pound-shedding experience has been "not good," adding that the struggle has left him "moody" and generally mentally distressed.
Fair enough, right? Twenty pounds isn't a huge cut for a heavyweight -- hell, there are welterweights who drop thirty pounds from smaller frames -- but if you've never done it before, cutting weight can really get you down. At least he had the experience of the American Top Team boys behind him, though. Thiago Alves trains there, and he goes from 205 down to 170 for his fights.
Only Slice doesn't sound particularly thrilled with how things have been going at ATT. When asked about his training experience there, he said only, "For what it's worth, I guess it's okay."
Sounds like someone is being a real Negative Nancy about this whole thing. Dammit Kimbo, the UFC is doing everything they can to make you at least a temporary success. They brought back Houston Alexander specifically to suit your needs, and they even talked him into fighting out of his weight class. If you can find something to complain about there, maybe you should think about what would have happened if the UFC had actually asked you to fight a guy your own size with a ground game.
Better yet, think about where you'd be if the UFC left you to the same fate as the other guys who lost in the first round of the show. Something tells me Demico Rogers would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

Aren't you forgetting Pedro Martinez vs Don Zimmer II?

Something tells me Demico Rogers would kick the shit out of Ferguson in a heartbeat too.
Fuck him for basically shitting on ATT.

^^^^^^^
Wicked awesome!
I like Kimbo, I hope he does alright on Saturday but I don't think his head is in the right place.
Boston Sucks!
curt sample Says:

AND KIMBO AINT REPPIN US DOWN HERE IM MIAMI, YA FEELZ ME? I KNOW I WOULD NEVER TURN DOWN A FIGHT, BECAUSE C. SAMPLE AINTA MARK ASS BITCH!!!
CURTIS OUT!!
steampunk22 Says:
You aren't first unless it took you 5 mins to type that.
Yeah, Kimbo better show some respect because the UFC isn't going to cater to him forever. Shit, this might be the ONLY time they cater to him unless he wins.
I would gladly chip in some of my own money into Houston Alexander's pot if he can win this by submission. Because THAT, would be priceless.
mustache ride Says:
@steampunk
I've read allot of interviews today with Houston talking about his improved grappling. Telling everyone that he knows there expecting a slug fest, but there with camps and trainers make up game plans.
He is gonna try to take this to the ground and all it's going to do piss off everyone especially the UFC.
robthom Says:
What are they doing with their mouths? Is that supposed to be cute? They look more like burn victims IMO.

Bill Bellicheck.
Might be spelled wrong. I dont care.
the glza Says:
alexander by repeated leg kicks, verbal tapout, destroyed knee, career ended.
MediumRare Says:
Will the UFC still be able to market this guy if he loses to Alexander?
He obviously can't hang with any heavyweight wrestlers or grapplers. He can't deal with any of the James Sweeny's of the world that throw serious leg kicks. If he can't beat a LHW striker who doesn't grapple or kick who the hell is he going to fight?
Those You Tube vids will only carry him so far.
My prediction: Kimbo will lose to Houston. Dana will shrug and send him packing. Then he'll try boxing with mediocre success. He'll blow his money too fast and then resort to porn. Then he'll go War Machine at a party and go to prison. When he's released, he, Mike Tyson and OJ Simpson will co-author a book called "From the Big Time to the Big House: A Cautionary Tale for Young Black Athletes with Drug Problems and Violent Impulses."
curt sample Says:
MAN SKELETOR YOU NEED TO SHUT DAT MOUF BEFORE I DO IT FOR YOU US THUGS REPPIN THE 305 HAVE THAT CRUCIAL DIAL UP INTERNET BOI, ITS LIKE THE SLOWSKY'S DOWN HERE... I WAS FIRST WHEN I HIT SAVE SO SUCK MY DICK SHORD!!! (pause)
C. SAMPLE OUT, FOR REALZ THIS TIEM...
steampunk22 Says:
^^Unless the presumed knee problems of Kimbo are all an elaborate ruse! Maybe he has a knee of freaking steel, that will shatter anyones foot who dare's kick it! Maybe he planned this all long!
Or maybe he's a crappy fighter who doesn't train well, doesn't take care of himself, and thinks he's better than everyone else and has probable done irreversible damage to his knee cartilage as a result of countless unsanctioned fights in unsafe conditions without proper protection or observation from medical professionals.
Only time will tell. ;P

I would gladly contract an STD from any of these ladies.

I think you have me mistaken for someone else. But while were on the subject your comeback was about as triumphant as Tito's and probably a million times less anticipated.
fACE7biter Says:
Even if Kimbo loses to Alexander, he's not going to be released. All they care is that he can bring in a few extra buy rates/views. Honeslty, he can drop his next three UFC fights, and then they'll drop him before they start to look completely ridiculous. But don't think a loss to Alexander ends his UFC career, not by a long shot. A lot of people thought Brock was going to go away because he lost to Frank Mir remember.
If they're smart, they'll feed Kimbo Mustapha Al Turk next, the resident jobber of hte heavyweight division. If Kimbo can't beat him, then it's really all over.
curt sample Says:
DAMN IT SKELETOR, YOU DONT KNOW ME... IM FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF CP, BEFORE ALL THIS BULLSHIT USER REGISTRATION! NIGGA, I AM ROYCE GRACE, YOU ARE MIKE BROWN!! SOME TINY ASS SCRUB MAKIN NEXT TO NOTHIN!!!

steampunk22 Says:
lol I'm with Skeletor
Curt Sample seems very excited to be posting on CagePotato again though, and for some reason feels that we should care; as demonstrated by his excellent use of capslock in both of his posts.
Hooray, I think UFC Fan and Killdozer just made a new friend. ;P
Dr. Says:
Sample representing, bitches.
Sabado Gigante Says:
Cage Potato should make some "Curt Sample Hates Me" T-Shirts!
Nothing beats the good ol Caps Lock button!
Dr. Says:
^^ Nice. I was just about to say something about HAL.
curt sample Says:
I THINK CAGE POTATO SHOULD MAKE SOME "SABADO GIGANTE IS HILLARIOUS" T-SHIRTS BUT ON THE BACK THEY SAY "SIKE, HES STUPID AS SHIT!!!"
FUCK, I'D WEAR IT...
TheJuggernaut Says:
Yeah damn it skeltor. Didn't you know he is a Gracie that can't spell and that happens to be a huge kimbo fan. Everyone knows gracies love talentless unappreciative street fighters
MachidaVsSilva Says:
Curt "the free" Sample is really embarrassing himself. He reminds me of Fly Guy from "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka". I figure he's a 5' 4" wigger from Homestead, FL who grew up without a father. Sorry about your dad but acting tough online is kinda lame.
curt sample Says:
MACHIDAVSSILVA IF I WANTED A GOOD COMEBACK, I WOULDA WIPED IT OFF YOUR MOTHERS LIPS!!! AWWWWW SHIIIIIT!!!! CURTIS GOIN' HAM ON DESE HOES!!!
AS FOR THE JUGGERNAUT, BOI YOU DONT KNOW ME!! IM IN THE FIGHT GAME FOR RAMPAGE MO'FUCKIN JACKSON, NOT SOME PUSSY WHO WON'T FIGHT BECAUSE HE'S GOT OLD MAN LEGS... HE NEEDS TO STOP TAKIN MEDICAL ADVICE FROM "DR.," AND GET UP OFF HIS KNEES, SHAWTY!!

The only one I recognize is Luscious Lopez, although I think Shyla Stylez is the tall blonde. If they turned around I would probably recognize them all, which is sad.
ghostboner Says:
Those classy gals in the photo wouldn't by chance be the mothers of Mr. Slices 1st-5th offspring would they?
MachidaVsSilva Says:
Curt, If I know one thing about tough guys it's that they don't use Caps Lock. Like I said, you are white and small so you act big and black. I'm guessing you cut hair for a living.
steampunk22 Says:
I love the Curt Sample backlash.
Curt Sample, there is an expression that goes: If it holds true that there is one asshole in every room, and you look around the room and you don't see who the asshole is, it's you.
I think this is an appropriate time for you to reflect on the meaning of that expression...shawty. ;P
G Funk Says:
I think he's amusing, the only chit I laughed at. He's fucking around(I hope)
And he's prob from more like Weston or Pines or better yet NY! Stay playa C. Stay playa...
Sabado Gigante Says:
I really missed the Caps Lock Hal Era!
whitey Says:
i have been laughing at curt sample since i read the first line of his first post. i keep imagining he is that lil' dude from "the onion movie"
"YO I WAS HANGIN OUT WITH THESE NIGGAZ DOWN IN PLEASANT OAKS!"
"you mean you were hanging out with actual black people?!"
pauses "NO....... BUT THEY WERE BUMPIN SOME SERIOUS PHAT BEATS YO!"
whitey Says:
go rent it
831 Son Says:
curt sample is such a worthless douche. Someone in his area please fuck him up. Ill send you a twelve pack for your troubles.
curt sample Says:
831SON, IF YOU SENT ANY OF YOUR BITCH ASS FRUITY CALI CREW AFTER ME, YOUD BETTER SEND THEM AN ICE PACK FOR THEIR TROUBLES, YA FEEL ME???
YOU JUST STAY OVER THERE AND ENJOY YA SUNSHINE, YOU DONT WANT NONE OF THIS REPPIN THE 305! DONT MAKE ME GO TUPAC ON YA BITCH ASS
CURTIS SAMPLE OUT!!
steampunk22 Says:
By going "Tupac on ya bitch ass" I assume Curt Sample means that he is going to get shot multiple times, none of us will ever go to jail, and this will be the last we hear of him. But he will release a few mildly irritating comments for the next year or two from beyoooond the graaaaaaave.....
curt sample Says:
OK STEAMPUNK, I KNOW YOU DONT WANT ME GIVIN YOU A HIP HOP HISTORY LESSON... LORD HERE WE GO...
TUPAC = WEST COAST RAPPER = 831(CALI)SON
GOT MURKED BY THE EAST COAST RAPPERS
EAST COAST= CURTIS SAMPLE, THE BADDEST MO'FUCKER IN THE CITY OF MIAMI
THEREFORE, IF I "GO TUPAC" ON 831SON'S ASS, IM FINNA MURK HIM, YA DIG???
NOW GO HOME AND TELL YOUR BITCH THAT YOU JUST GOT SCHOOLED BY THE GREATEST!!!
steampunk22 Says:
Thats what you got from reading my comment? Wow.
Reading your comments is kind of like starring at a car accident. Except instead of cars being driven, its brains. And the resulting collision, that none of us can tear our eyes away from, is of such staggering brain damage that really all we can do is continue driving past, eyes wide, mouths open, thinking "What in the hell am I witnessing here?".
Curt Sample, I believe the world will solve the problem that is you, for us. Its only a matter of time. There aren't enough safety labels in the world that can save you.....
I must admit though, if anyone else posts, I'm kind of interested to read the comments. There are some funny people on this site and you're presenting quite the target.
Let the Curt Sample bashing continue. Have at 'em everyone, I'm pretty sure it's open season on retardation.
Also, I hope Kimbo loses.
gnight cp! vote for my fedor caption! or ajax's!

JerseyFighter37 Says:
If Kimbo looses to Alexander this weekend they UFC really should cut him. There's no reason for them to keep him on if he's not going to pull his weight.
BillyBigBalls Says:
Kimbo has had long enough to develop a ground game, it's been a couple of years since he began in MMA, but he seems far too dumb to learn anything.
Flood Says:
Longest. 15 minutes. Ever.

THIS.

1) Why the hell does the only brunette in this picture have to be as fugly as Kaley Cuoco?
2) Why is it that on-camera Kimbo is humble and eager to learn anything, while off-camera Kimbo apparently holds any of that fancy ground-fighting pussy shit in contempt? I started liking the guy after seeing him on the show, but if he can't learn anything from Bas or ATT, you got to start wondering if he's the problem...
3) Bill Belichick blows goats. I have proof.
4) War Zimmer.
NOTSOB Says:
i think skeletor should get off the boston subject cuz hes a noob ass biatch who would love to live in boston, cuz its sooo great unlike his hick city.
i win!
El Famous Burrito Says:
I think someone should set up Pedro Martinez vs. Don Zimmer II.
Greatest idea I ever just made up.
Tai-Pan Says:
Boston sucks.
C-sample is whiter than a bucket of bleach, yet all this is highly entertaining.
@ Bens
Aren't you forgetting Pedro Martinez vs Don Zimmer II? Can't beleive I'm the first to think of this.
MarryMeGina Says:
I love you guys... *initiates group hug*
Japanadian Says:
Houston is gonna kick kimbos knee then take him down and submit him or kimbo will quit from the leg kicks. Kimbo is a retard, he ruined his training with Bas Rutten by not listening, then he acts like he wants to learn from the best and he's ready to learn.... he couldn't even make the cut to 205 because he put weight on after the TUF show.
Curt Sample sounds like he's Jaime Kennedy from "Malibu's most wanted"
