While SCZA and TON scoffed at my suggestion that Dana White should offer Kimbo Slice a chance in the UFC, apparently Dana White himself took heed.
Unfortunately, Kimbo would never accept this offer. But if he were truly committed to the sport he might consider it. And if he did, it would be the best reality show. EVER!
Here's the thing. Kimbo could potentially be a complete MMA stud...if he went back in time 5, 10 years. His stand up is naturally better than a lot of peoples...it's just that he started learning the ground game like a year ago...maybe.
ReplyDeleteHe was training with Bas Rutten, who although a totally respected MMA figure, is NOT a ground guy. Now that he's made about 750G or so from Elite, and probably some more from commercials etc...maybe he can ditch Bas, get a coach who knows more ground...and IF he has Randy Couture esque longevity, he can be legit (not a champion, just decently respectable) in a year or 2. I believe he's already mid thirties though, so the chances of this are probably slim.
