    DUH nevermind, read the rest of the article. I guess there won't be a fight to get into the house.
    yep, 16 heavyweights will start the season in the house

      they must have a side deal, kimbo probably gets some UFC fights for big money even if he losses, no way he passes up decent money from strikeforce or money from Japan to be on TUF

      fact: Dana doesnt want Kimbo to lose on TUF, he sees dollar signs and Sir Dana sees them to

        Just look at this thread, I posted it 5 hours after my 2 fight threads about Stirkeforce and the WEC, it has twice as many views of both threads combined, lol

          Doesn't make sense to have him on TUF then. The chances of him losing to a lesser named fighter are too high. He should have just signed him and fed him to crocop.
          So, metaphorically speaking, our physiology basically has the universe mapped out and you're thinking it needs to be taught addition & subtraction.

            Kimbo Slice vs Brock Lesnar would easily be the most watched UFC fight ever.

              its a way for dana to keep his word and than still milk Kimbo, he is putting him on spiketv

              so many bad fighters get on ufc cards after tuf, even losing early, kimbo will be on a ufc card win or lose on tuf

              plus they might even throw some crappy guys on tuf to give kimbo an easy ride

                I wouldn't be surprised to see Kimbo make it through a couple fights.

                  Kimbo is on TUF b/c without him, the season will likely continue the ratings decline the series has been on since season 4.

                    edit - didnt notice the part about not having to win a fight to get into the house. lol @ the "kimbo rule". ill watch until he gets picked the first week and gets beat down, but im sure they'll make some other wack rule to keep him the house.

                      Wonder if its there because of Kimbo or simply for the fact that finding enough decent-quality HW prospects to do that approach would be all but impossible...?

                        TUF doesnt even look for quality fighters anymore, its just 'characters' and with no quality HWs already in MMA, this is a great spot to throw in Kimbo

                        Maybe they can get Dreads and Chico

                          lol @ rampage being a good coach, oh man, the wonders of TV

                          rampage doesnt have coaching skills, he has always trained under someone and has problems being motaviated and training hard

                          the best coaches the show has had have been Randy, Hughes, Dan and Tito, these guys actually run gyms, train people or have fight camps

                          BJ is also a very good coach regarding technique, but his problem is living in Hawaii and enjoying the good life, but as far as knowledge, BJ is right up there with the best and he knows how to teach

                          Also, Ken was a really good coach in his time, he looked like a clown on the show but ken knows who to sell on TV, the game has pasted him and he never evolved, but when he was coaching the Lions Den they were 1 of the best teams in MMA with Frank, Guy Metzger, Jerry and Mikey Burnett, the Lions Dens tryouts were famous

                          Matt Serra has been running a gym for years and produced some quality guys, he of course focusing more on BJJ and the ground game, but coming from Renzo and teaching for all these years menas something

                          I dont think Rich has ever coached either and Chuck isnt a coach type of guy

                          Randy with xtreme couture, Hughes runs the hitsquad and has all the MFS background are probably the best, Dan does well with his team along side with Matt Linland even after they broke off from Randy

                          The best: Randy, Dan, Hughes and maybe Tito

                          In the middle: BJ and Ken, both have there faults

                          The worst: Rampage and Chuck, Rich also might be down there, he usually just jumps from camp to camp to just train, Im sure a guy like him would run a team in the future though

                          oh, also forgot about Jens, he is down with the MFS style and is a good coach and motivater

                            Pulver was pretty damn good, that season was funny with the interplay between he and BJ.

                            Pulver took a liking towards that big dude, sucks he broke his leg though

                              I also forgot Nog, him and his bro run a great gym

                              I cant remember all the coaches because I rarely watch the show
