Let's go.

Here's the thing about Kimbo-
On the one hand, I respect anybody that has the willingness to train hard and learn (though Bas Rutten may have something to say about that) and the cojones to step into a ring, octagon, whatever...
Dumb. I'm sure you do respect him, considering how you went on to trash him numerous times after this comment. Very "respectful." Haha.

on the other hand, there comes a time when an honest self-assessment needs to happen in every man's life; Kimbo (to anyone with half a brain, at least) has no future in the UFC. Period.
Mediocre striking, glass chin, a ground game that makes a corpse look animated... he has been training MMA for some years now. If he can't even pull guard at this stage, he really should re-evaluate his career options
Dumb. What does this guy have to re-evaluate here? He's making the most of what opportunities he's been given, the same thing any self-respecting, intelligent human being does. You know, making lemonade out of lemons.
But fuck that! Kimbo isn't skilled enough at MMA, so he should just quit now. Who cares if he's making money and whatnot; he's got a future as a bouncer.
Quote:
Which brings me to yet another point; he has, what, six or seven kids?
Does this guy have anything other than being a bodyguard or a bouncer to fall back on? And, even so, maybe only for another ten years, then what?
Dumb. Then
what? Then maybe he's made enough money that he doesn't have to work, that he can retire, give those six or seven kids a better future. Holy fuck! That's stupid.

He's a fucking dumbass that got famous beating up other drunken idiots in back alleys via youtube, he really doesn't deserve any respect, other than his giving the effort.
Dumb. I thought you respected him for having the balls to fight? Now he's a dumbass for actually taking something like back-yard brawling and turning it into a successful career, one that deserves no respect? Oh, except for the effort of course.
But wait...you respect the effort he's putting forth yet insist he re-evaluates what he's doing because he has no future in the UFC! Well, maybe only for another 10 years or so. Hell, that's no future at all, especially when he's making a shit-ton of money.

And I certainly won't shell out 50 clams to watch him be humiliated on any PPV.
His imminent downfall in MMA will, if he isn't a complete meathead, be a wake-up slap in the face. He ain't getting any younger, after all.
Dumb. A wake-up slap in the face? You act like he's delusional, thinking he's something he's not. Yet right there on TUF, he said, "I don't do MMA; I'm a fighter." Must not have heard that, huh? Or maybe you chose to ignore it to justify your silly tantrum.
Kimbo knows what kind of fighter he is; he knows
exactly what he's doing. The dumbass back-yard brawler you insist he is would never have created so many opportunities from those YouTube videos. He's just a guy making the best out of life, doing so in an apparently very honest manner, and you trash him for it.
You, my friend, are a dummy and have been schooled yet again by the almighty Satan's Anus. Does it burn?
