    file this under Dana being a smart ass. He know's Slice would most likely NOT take this offer. I'd still go with the notion that he's either going to Japan to be the next Bob Sapp or he's done with MMA.

    I could see Dana putting him on the ultimate fighter, and protecting him all the way up until the finals before Kimbo gets rocked by someone. After that, I think they let him go. Having Kimbo in the house for every episode would be a ratings bonanza, and really make TUF get more people. That is of course, providing that Kimbo would be willing to do it, and according to the article would be able to do it.

    I think barring Kimbo facing an NCAA wrestler, he'd do well on TUF. He is afterall, training with Bas Rutten. Sure he's not powerhouse, but I still think he's decent enough for a HW. Just a tad bit overhyped.

    Its funny that he's probably going to follow the Bob Sapp model and go cash in on his image in Japan.

    True, but a lot of it came from his willingness to moonlight as a pro wrassler.

    OK, I am an evil old fart, but I would really like to see Kimbo vs Lesnar. For months, I have been listening to people try to tell me that Kimbo is "more legit" than Brock. Watching a bunch of tools soil themselves as Kimbo gets his limbs ripped off strikes me as moderately amusing! :clap:

    LAMO who I gotta wonder about anyone who thought Kimbo was legit.. he couldn't even finish James Thompson.. the man who had been ko'd in 7 of his last 9 fights!

    I'd rather see Mir snap his arm like he did to Tim Sylvia :devilwink:

    I think most of the LHW's on this season of The Ultimate Fighter--some without any pro experience--could absolutely run roughshod over Kimbo Slice.
