'TUF 10' Hype Roundup: Kimbo, Dana, and Roy
("Yeah, the sushi did taste a little funny. Why do you ask?" Photo courtesy of the Las Vegas Sun.)
Some choice quotes from recent interviews promoting The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights, which premieres September 16th...
Kimbo Slice on piss-soaked fruit trays: "(If someone pulls a prank on him similar to stunts from past shows) there's gonna be gun play, but fortunately for them I couldn't bring my pistol. That's a whole another level. Silver bracelets (handcuffs) if you feel me."
Kimbo Slice on the possibility of being ejected from the house for fighting: "I'm a fighter, dude. I'm not gonna have a motherfucker disrespect me, in no case whatsoever...I'mma be me and I'm gonna stand my ground to the fullest...I wouldn't want to get thrown out that way. [But] if that becomes my only fight then god damn we gonna fight."
Roy Nelson on Kimbo Slice: “Ability-wise, he’s probably one of the better fighters there.”
Roy Nelson on Roy Nelson: “I’m not the favorite. I’m just the fat guy.”
Kimbo Slice on staying humble: “I shop at Winn-Dixie and K-Mart just like everyone else. I never considered myself or thought of myself as a star or some big name. I’m from the streets. I still consider myself the same guy. I’m just a little squirrel in this big world, trying to get a nut.”
Dana White on the possibility of bonus episodes of TUF 10 being released online: "This is some of the best television ever...(Show producer) Andrea (Richter) said, 'Dana, I don't know what to do. We could have a 10-set DVD pack on this show. There's no way we could possibly tell all the storylines and all the things that happened during this season of 'The Ultimate Fighter.' It's some good [expletive]. It'll be interesting to see which way they go with it."
Dana White on future country-vs.-country showdowns: "Once we get Mexico rolling – it's going to take some time – I'd like to do something like we did 'The Ultimate Fighter: U.S. vs. U.K.' (with) U.S. vs. Mexico, U.K. vs. Mexico, Canada vs. Mexico, whatever."

Horror Fighter Says:
Man, can we not do another country vs. country? I think of U.S. vs U.K. as a failed experiment. Nobody can fault you for trying, but let's not make the same mistake...
Bare Grappler Says:
What could be the ultimate way of getting Kimbo out of the house unbeaten and able to sell PPV's is have him win one fight and then pay someone to pick a fight with him. He's then not embarassed by a loss, again, and you have a reason for him to wait till PPV.
Bare Grappler Says:
Why not have more than 2 teams? I mean couldn't you have 8 teams of 2 guys, each country or camp bringing one in each weight class. I would like to see something like that.
HBomb13 Says:
I wonder if he buys those "doo-rags" at K-Mart....I'm not quite sure how to spell that. I've never seen a black man with that much body hair.....what a freak of nature!
landOencagement Says:
Battle of the Borders, Canada Vs. Mexico!
Aptninja Says:
H-Bomb, you've never seen a black man with that much body hair? Is that because you've never seen a black man who wasn't a professional athlete?
Just A Wrestler Says:
Why not brazil? isnt that where a whole heap of good fighters come from? i belive so. there even was a column in CP about how ufc 102 was looking a lot like US vs. Brasil. i guess the reason is we need tv that doesnt use subtitles... o wait, they put subtitles for when the brits talked beacuse us americans are too stupid to understand them otherwise.
@Horror Fighter you only say it was a failed experiment because we got our asses handed to us. except for michael bisping. he was doomed from the beginning.
Sheps Says:
The US vs The UK was only a failed experiment because you got your arses whooped viciously.
This shouldn't even be called "The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights" it should be called "The Ultimate Figh..... FORGET THAT, LOOK, ITS KIMBO SLICE!"
I love how Dana talks so much trash about the guy and now is totally on his dick, treating him like some sort of MMA god in comparison to all the other fighters.
Also I don't want my boys fighting Mexico, we don't need anymore swine flu.
Sheps Says:
dp
Ballentine Says:
I think this season is going to be all about the chest hair designs.
newdeal Says:
I heard that fedor will be a coach on the next ultimate fighter
agentsmith Says:
Since when to black dudes refer to their guns as "pistols"? Does he refer to his car as an "automobile" too?
muahahaha Says:
they don't border sir
Blackleg Says:
@Aptninja: It's because he's usually facing away.
AkilleeZ Says:
He's so wise. Like a big...black...scary Buddha covered in hair.
xocgx Says:
They'd need to have an ALL Texas Team...winners get to live in Texas, losers in Mexico!
UFC fan Says:
831 son are you SURE you aren't really kimbo in disguise?
You both sound stupid as a box of rocks.
Pingu Says:
Way to miss the obvious one: USA vs Brazil, Franklin and Wanderlei.
NateGetsIrate Says:
They should do "Nice Part of Town" versus "Wrong Side of The Tracks", like:
The OC vs. Stockton,
San Diego vs. Tijuana,
New Jersey vs. Philly,
or
Long Island vs. Brooklyn.
BigCuev Says:
@ bare grappler
That was called the IFL and yeah it didn't work "/
whitey Says:
i can't beleive noone has suggested japan vs. brazil!?! they could even do continents. north america vs. south america. asia vs. europe. then they can do australia vs. antarctica: criminals vs. abominable snowmen(Africa will fight themselves)
whitey Says:
north america vs. middle east?
whitey Says:
how about a good ole class war. fighters are teamed together based on their annual pre-tax income. i'd love to see some rich bitches get their asses handed to them!
whitey Says:
or....religious vs. atheists maybe even gay vs. straight. ok i know i'm going too far but hey....they have probably already tossed these ideas around b/c we all know corporations have no morals.
TheSlothman Says:
@ SHEPS....... about that arse kicking lol, how'd that work out for the old U.K. in the end there? Bisping wake up yet????
NateGetsIrate Says:
Ohhh!! He said your mother, Sheps!
House Party Says:
mexico vs us would be a disaster. if that were to happen that whole house would burn down
Koeikan Says:
IMO, the only country vs country that will work is if the 2 countries have top and equal MMA talent pools.
It was pretty clear that the US didn't have the top prospects...or a top prospect.
I'd like to see a Brazil vs USA much more (followed by US vs Canada). Brazilians have a lot of national pride and IMO a better talent pool to pull from.
The language barrier could be an issue, but I think it's too early for Mexico/UK.
Walrus Says:
North America vs. Europe
clutchy hopkins Says:
pistol sounds way more badass then gun
The Truth Says:
"It was pretty clear that the US didn't have the top prospects...or a top prospect."
Our young guys are too busy with all the other sports we lead the world in.
maxwell Says:
Canada vs Mexico?
Why not vs Turkmenistan, that's an even bigger rivalry.
tallkitchenbags Says:
how about we cut the nationalism and try something a little more original:
educated vs non-educated,
haves vs. have-nots,
dems vs. repugs,
innies vs. outies.
etc.
tallkitchenbags Says:
also, kimbo sucks. he's one big f**ing dude though.
jersey sucks.
maxwell Says:
....because USian dems v repubs won't turn into a nationalist shit show.
Peetee Says:
Us vs. Mexico would just be mexicans climbing over the fence to get to the house and americans fighting them off...
AussieJosh Says:
whitey
then they can do australia vs. antarctica: criminals vs. abominable snowmen(Africa will fight themselves)
HAHAHA That was some funny shit!!!
Komodo Says:
JUICY like a muh'fuck.
T BONE Says:
