lol, yeah it was a huge letdown. I expected things to pick up in the second round. So how long did Kimbo train in between these first 3 episodes? I mean, he should have been able to atleast put up some resistance against Big Country, right?

The fights so far this season have been really bad. Roy wasn't punching Kimbo on top, he was just helping wipe the sweat of Kimbo's head.

Three boring fights in a row. I hope this season picks up. The thing is Nelson played the rules to an easy victory which is all he had to do. He even talked about how to play the judges and ref during the episode. He took Kimbo down, slowly, very slowly made his move and pounded him out. That may be true, but with all the poop this guy talks and how he think's he's the greatest... I expected a HELL of a lot more than him sitting on kimbos face.

ok... ..did you find that fight enjoyable? Honestly. That should have been the most exciting fight of the show..and it was horrible. Kimbo looked tentative with his head straight up and Nelson looked slow and sluggish. I don't know. This season is just bleh. Every week I get so excited for the next episode of TUF and then when it is over I'm like "that f***ing sucks, I'm not watching this ever again".. ..but yet I keep watching. =/ I have seen much more boring fights on UFC PPVs... I bet if Nelson wasn't fat it wouldn't be a problem for most people.

Well, so much for the "hype machine" Kimbo Slice eh? I mean, EVERY friggin' commercial I see for this season's Ultimate Fighter, they are constantly hyping up Kimbo at every ing turn and it's friggin' sickening to tell you the truth. This whole season of Ultimate Fighter is all about Kimbo, it appears. Kimbo this and Kimbo that and all for what? For one of the most disappointing fights in the history? That's what it seemed to me. I have NEVER seen so much hype for a guy that lost in 14 seconds to a back-up guy (Seth Petruzelli) in his last fight on record. What a complete joke. And I could not believe that they are hyping him up again for a potential return ALREADY at the end of last night's episode. What kind of ing joke is that? Why is he allowed to return so soon after such a disappointing performance? Once you are eliminated and lose a fight on The Ultimate Fighter, you should be gone and stay gone. And another thing, even though they weren't the hardest punches thrown and landed, exactly how many un-answered punches are allowed before the referee steps in and stops the ing fight?? In my opinion, the fight should've been stopped late in the first round due to the numerous un-answered punches. I just re-watched it, and I counted at least 44 un-answered shots to Kimbo's head. Seriously, the friggin' ref clearly should've stopped the fight because Kimbo wasn't doing anything but taking shot after shot to his head. Kimbo can thank Herb Dean for saving his ass there, that's for sure because I've seen fights that were stopped way before this one should have. Then, we get to the 2nd round and again, Roy Nelson gets Kimbo in the crucifix position, and again lands shot after un-answered shot. I counted at least 22 shots to the head that were all un-answered. Then, referee Herb Dean wakes the up and does the right thing and stops the fight. The shots to the head in the first round looked to be much harder than the ones that landed in the 2nd. That's the way it appeared to me anyway. Kimbo lost fair & square and should be out. But it looks like he's already getting a 2nd chance to come back already, which is totally ridiculous in my opinion. If he seriously comes back and ends up winning this season of The Ultimate Fighter, I will just ing puke. It'll make me so sick to my stomach, I just won't believe it.

Sweet! Kimbo lost! I'll admit, he put up a really good fight for the majority of the first round and a little of the second. He showed some really good takedown defense and was getting pretty solid punches through on Nelson, especially in the second round. But Nelson was just too big for Slice on the ground. I had flashbacks of Slice/Thompson at the end of the first round. At least there were only 20 seconds left here instead of 2 minutes.
I thought it was a good fight, to be honest. Roy fought intelligently and executed his gameplan. Good stoppage be Herb Dean at the end(Slice wasn't going to get out of the crucifix position). It reminded me of Hughes/Penn II, with Peen all tied up and no escape in sight from Hughes' punches. He couldn't defend the punches and wouldn't be able to get out any tie soon. Stop the fight. Good call.
Roy got a win and advances, and Kimbo showed that he can hang with a guy of Nelson's caliber. Personally, I think BOTH guys win here.

I thought Kimbo looked alot better than his previous fights because IMO he was winning in standup. But Roy dominated on the ground.

STFU Kimbo won over more fans in his loss last night that Puke Lesnar did in any of his wins. Kimbo's been humble, gracious, grounded, and eager to learn. He never asked to be a part of the hype machine, he just wants to fight. I think it's fitting that a Puke Lesnar fan would be totally against Kimbo. Two totally different spectrums when it comes to displays of class. Kimbo displays tons Lesnar has none

Yeah, I was also the guy who said that I read it, and that we'll wait and see if it's true. Looked pretty contrersial when Dean didn't stop the fight in the first round.

Yeah, but earlier in the thread you were saying you for sure knew who won the fight and you were absolutely wrong.

Well technically... if he says "Kimbo wins but Dana reverses the decision, resulting in a Nelson victory" like I've understood... then he got the winner right. Just got every other aspect of the fight completely wrong. I will watch the fight on Saturday night when TUF 10 airs over here in the UK. I was trying to hold off on the result but didn't know when it was broadcast in the US so unfortunately found out in here about two hours ago.

SO Kimbo is done now right he got sent home? my first season watching I wonder if they will still show kimbo commericals for this season 80 times a day They more or less abandoned this practice several seasons ago. Now if you get into the house, you stay in the house, win or lose. This was done because the TUF experience is still a great opportunity to learn and grow as a fighter even if you lose, so if you do lose, you still have an opportunity to keep training and keep getting coached by the experienced MMA fighters/coaches. Also, I'll say this for the last time in regards to Kimbo: don't hate the player, hate the game. What was Kimbo supposed to do when his fights started getting a couple million hits on YouTube and Elite XC started throwing big money his way? Say "No thanks, keep your hundreds of thousands of dollars, I've got a reputation to protect"? Don't blame Kimbo for taking his shot and earning his money. Blame the promoters like Elite XC that were trying to establish him as one of the best MMA fighters to ever put on the gloves. I really can't fathom how people can still hate Kimbo after this season. For 's sake, the guy has been nothing but respectful, willing to learn, and wanting to work hard to improve upon himself. His post-fight reaction where he admitted that he felt like **** was one of the most honest things I've ever seen on TUF. Slice may never become an MMA legend or even have a decent run in the UFC, but he's honestly won me over this season. As strange as that sounds, it's even stranger for me to say that Roy Nelson is quickly losing me as a fan. He's behaving like a jackass, plain and simple. I can't believe he actually called out Dana White by saying that he wanted a burger and fries. Good Lord, man. Falling on top of your opponent and smothering him beneath your gut doesn't make you a ground game wizard. Whenever Roy tried this against anyone halfway-decent, it always ended up biting him in the ass. He's really beginning to come off as an arrogant prick.

He was taken down pretty easily. He stuffed Roy's first takedown, got taken down at the end of the first one by being yanked away from the cage. And the last takedown Roy was diving at him and when Kimbo tried a knee, Ro finished the takedown. Personally, I think he did ok.

Sounds like something a ing 4-year-old would say. You cannot possibly compare, let alone mention Kimbo and Brock Lesnar in the same sentence. That's like comparing solid gold (Brock Lesnar) to a pile of stinkin' horse crap (Kimbo Slice). Kimbo wishes he was where Brock is at this point and from the sounds of it, so do you. But God-willing, that will never happen. Brock is the current UFC Heavyweight champ. What the is Kimbo Slice? The champ of the ing K-Mart parking lot?? I wonder if I offered Kimbo 20 bucks if he'd fight in my backyard and let me film it and then post it on Youtube. I would throw in a a can of Pringles for free. I'm sure Kimbo would appreciate that. Being the street-fighter he is and all. He's probably used to rummaging through trash. I don't give a flying if Kimbo has won over fans or any of that crap. After all that wasted hype of the constant commericals airing over and over again hyping his ass up, he still proves what a dud he truly is. I'm glad he ing lost and if he does get lucky enough to get a 2nd chance which he doesn't deserve, I hope he loses again and goes back to the ing Burger King parking lot where he belongs. He's a ing bum. End of story.

Uhm...wait...wasted hype? Kimbo was never a good fighter, and if you fell into believing the hype then your an idiot. UFC took a street fighter and hyped the hell out of him, which created the HIGHEST ratings in Ultimate Fighter history. How the hell is that a fail? Dana knew he couldnt fight worth shit, and he STILL got the highest ratings ever out of a terrible fighter. Kimbo will be the first one to tell you that he is extremely knew to this game. Bad-mouthing him just because everyone hyped him up, how ing pathetic is that? He didnt ask for this, and if you were in his situation you would be riding this wave as long as you could too. If you read anything, you can see that everyone in the house said they respect him for wanting to learn and ask for help. Just...wow.
