Kevin Fergunson- A.K.A. "Kimbo Slice"- is an excellent athlete as he trains with Bas Rutten, who was an amazing pride fighter and combat instructor. When he started off it is true that he fell by the way-side and was not in the best conditioning during his early back-yard brawling. I think that he has a considerable amount of potential with his heavy hands. The first three fights that he was in in MMA he won after training with Bas. The first was by a guillotin, and the other two were knockouts, and then he was a little bit over confident went in swinging and got caught. Not that I would ever compare Urijah- as Urijah is incredible- and "kimbo", but it happens to the best. His fame was a double-edge sword, since he has alot to live up to and even though he won three that one loss sent him in a spiral that labeled him only a "hype" I guarantee that he would put up a fight against some of those heavyweights in UFC, given that his drive to train has not been hampered. Hopefully he did not sink into a depression much like rampage fell into after his loss to Forrest. One can only speculate...
