Wish more people would just have fun with the Kimbo Slice addition and enjoy watching the show. Go Kimbo.

I dont know if this is going to be the biggest season ever but they sure are going out of their way to try and make it so.

In response to the comment above: It would seem more likely that he has won a fight since the commercial would take, at most, two days to produce and since it aired on the 20th and taping for TUF 10 had already been going on for over two weeks it makes little sense to promote the show purely based on him if he lost his first outing.

thats disrespectful to rampage and rashad because who is kimbo exactly? hes just like the other 15 guys on the show nd theyre making him bigger than the coaches? former champions none the less...kimbo needs to be put out early...

Love him or hate him, Kimbo is a really influential character in MMA. He doesn't have experience of guys like Chuck Liddell but the average fan doesn't know any better. I think he's a good guy and you have to show him respect for stepping up.

its isn't disrespectful to rampage and rashad because it's not Kimbo!! Kimbo has a hairy chest and is dark black... There is a huge guy behind the coaches cause this season is strictly HEAVYWEIGHTS, duh anonymous

It's true, Wes Simms already let the cat out of the bag. Kimbo was viciously knocked out in the first round of his first fight and is no longer in the house.

uuuummm.... the leak was false, wes simms is a tool. he hasnt lost yet and did not leave the house... it was a troll job, i thought everyone knew that already, and if you believe that the new rumor is out and it says kimbo knocked someone out in 24 seconds.

Ummmm, it wasn't a troll job. Kimbo being ko'ed was also confirmed by various other sources not just We Simms

Kimbo did in fact get ko in his first fight it was by Roy "big country" Nelson it took only 2mins and wit a right hook and kimbo was done. He got mad and left the show...

Is it also true that after he got KO'd by Rory Nelson that he got into a backyard brawl with Wes Simms and was knocked out again into the swimming pool left unconcious?

Roy Nelson is the man and probably did KO Slice. I think Roy wins the whole thing.

Roy Nelson is the most underrated heavy weight in mma. Bass Ruten didn't even know who he was. I'd like to see Bass get in the cage with him and then maybe he can get a dose of enlightenment.

youre stupid if you believe the rumors, and the bullshit dude on here that says hes from the crew. The rumore was said to be leaked my wes simms. they all have to sign a contract that they cant release any type of information. If they do then theyre not allowed to fight in the ufc ever again. why would he risk his career to post some shit on the internet about kimbo? makes zero sense! Its just kimbo haters posting garbage
