Out of the top ten ppv buys in North America the UFC accounted for 7. Boxing 2 and wrestling 1. I guess a lot of people watch it.

Yvonne to answer your question..He lost to a nobody, his org tanked, his trainer stopped working with him and I believe he has had personal/legal issues lately. The only televised org that would even touch this guy is Strikeforce and probably not. He was a gimmick and exposed. Best shot is to go to Japan and make money being a freakshow.

Jesus, the commentator was sure somehow getting excited about some never-was being dropped unsatisfactoritly by some little pink haired poofter!

What a load of shit, glad I didn't pay for it.

How was he a gimmick?I mean he did'nt get into the UFC/MMA game till late did he.Did he take a dive or something?I thought KIMBO SLICE had the tools to be a strong force in th UFC?Is everyone calling him a gimmick because he got beat?He only lost once(apart from the youtube version of him fighting a off duty copper).

He just was never a good fighter - it's easy to look good on poor quality internet viral marketing videos, beating up some fat hamburger-munching tralier park inbred.

By gimmick I mean he never was any good and only an internet sensation. Sure he came to the fight game late and? I wouldn't care except that EliteXC was using his internet fame not his skill to market him and there org. He made a name for himself beating up on losers in street fights and was kod in under 20 seconds by a can. He never fought in the UFC by the way.

I find it amazing that people arent that aware of things sometimes..

1) Kimbo had never bought into his own hype

2)It was widely known that Kibo's dedication and training habits were on par with the best of them.

3)When it came to the real interviews and not the dark chair fight hype ones, he always said he was a work in progress and had along way to go,he always showed humility.

The guy who KO'd him had 10x the amount of professional fighting experience Slice hadand is a great striker.. Kimbo got clipped, nothing more nothing less, it wasnt like he took a sustained beating for 3 rounds and got pummeled into submission and outclassed...

It seems Kimbo was the only one aware of his standing in the sport as a novice trying to improve.
