Dana White: No apologies for Kimbo Slice ... just credit

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:16:57 -0500

Props: Yahoo!Sports Quoteworthy: "I don’t know what Houston Alexander’s corner was doing, but that was the worst game plan they could have ever come up with.... I am not sure if Kalib Starnes was training him or what, but that wasn’t the Houston Alexander I had seen fight before. I don’t think I have to apologize to Kimbo. I helped him. I said what I did and he did the thing athletes do: He went out there and he worked and he made himself better. He des...

UFC Quick Quote: Kimbo Slice already knew he was going to slam Houston Alexander

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 04:28:36 -0500

"I guess the first round we were feeling each other out. Neither one of us wanted to foolishly rush in. Every fighter's got a puncher's chance, so I guess neither one of us wanted to take that chance of getting KOed in the first round. Knowing that I cut weight I knew that I was a little bit stronger than he was because he's normally a light heavyweight and I'm normally a heavyweight. I knew within the fight that I was gonna get a slam, I just wanted to wait until...

Stock Up Kimbo Slice: Who knew that Kimbo had it in him? He showed impressive improvement in his all around game. Who knows? Maybe by the next time we see him, we will see him know how to finish the rear naked choke he almost had in round two, or maybe just have enough ground and pound to finish a fight. All I know, is that wasn’t the same guy that was on the show. Jon Jones: I’m flabbergasted by the idea that a 12-6 elbow ended that fight. I know that’s the rule, but what about the first 44 elbows and punches that landed in that fight? Those don’t count for anything. Jones was completely dominant before the stoppage. Expect Bones back in the ring quick, and expect him continue his awesomeness. **** Steve Mazagatti and his deceased stache. Roy Nelson: How badly is Dana cringing right now? The guy that he couldn’t stand throughout the entire show is now The Ultimate Fighter. At least, he finally had the exciting fight that Dana wanted. How soon could Nelson get in the cage? I have a feeling it’s going to be sooner than later with all the UFC’s injuries. Stock Down Matt Hamill: Sure, he won the fight, but he was thrown by Jon Jones. This is supposed to be the big bad ass world champion wrestler, and he got tossed. He looked terrible, but since he dislocated his shoulder, I guess he’ll get a little credit. Hamill is definately further away from a title shot now than he was six hours ago. Houston Alexander: The Assassin had been banished from the UFC and needed a win, or at least an exciting fight to stay employed. He gave us neither. The only excitement in the fight was seeing an improved Kimbo beat on Houston. The Continue reading The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale Impressions!

Are the hacks betting Kimbo or did off-shore get it wrong?

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:09:36 -0500

The big fight is right around the corner and Las Vegas bettors are well aware of who Kimbo Slice is. He opened as a minus-270 underdog. The one-sided betting action has pushed Houston Alexander down to minus-220. There was a huge gap in the opening price. The Palms takes it's cue from off-shore sportsbook when it comes to MMA. The Venetian, the only books in the town along with The M, sets its own line. The Venetian opened the fight at Alexander at minus-170. The bettors are definitely an...

TUF 10 Finale Predictions

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 02:47:33 -0500

Kimbo Slice vs Houston Alexander I still don't know what to make of Kimbo. There are conflicting reports about his dedication to training. Some times we hear he's a sponge. Other times he's disinterested in the entire process. This week he also explained that he's been on his own with cutting weight for the bout with Alexander. This seems very strange since he's supposed to be working with one of the top MMA gyms and it's his first cut. It doesn't make sense. AT...

Props: UFC.com Quoteworthy: "It’s just like when you were a kid with your parents, depending on what type of parents you had, but definitely your teachers, they kinda teach you to never judge a book by its cover. I guess I was the complete opposite of everyone’s impression of me. They kinda judged me before they even got to know me, but I didn’t go into the house trying to portray someone that I’m not.
