Boxing is a big tent, there's no limit to who gets fights providing you pass a physical (in most places). UFC is very exclusive, they do try and take the "best of the best" but they've had their trouble trying to grow the sport in certain weight classes and with certain fighters that are difficult to make contracts with.
Kimbo COULD be ushered safely to a small title or he could just be fed to the wolves....but if Kimbo can't mess guys up with 4 ounce gloves I doubt that now (bad leg and all) that he'll be all that great at messing guys up with 12 ounce gloves. Even if he cut to cruiserweight he'd have trouble vs their top level guys.
Look at it this way....who do you have in a Kimbo Slice-Brian Minto fight?
Lyle I don't even think Kimbo could be spoon fed enuff to get a small title.
I mean who here would pick Kimbo to beat Cliff Couser ?
I sure wouldn't.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
