I never took MMA, nor the UFC in particularly serious until I started watching Kimbo on You Tube. His punching skills are undescribable. If you've seen his backyard brawls at a glance, you just HAVE to stop and watch his awsome power. But as in boxing, and most other full contact sports, AGE and "OVER TIME" body abuse is the sure downfall to every star. The sport needs him, and they better get the cash, and ratings, while he's still got it!!! This is a GREAT observation column, Phillip, and I feel word-4-word, everything you just said is true.

However... For me it's all about respect, I have none for Roys gameplan. Effective yet oh-so-gay. Kimbo WILL learn some basic takedown defense/ground escapes and then he'll shine. Well said Duncan.

Probably not. Will he get one? Absolutely. The guy is a ratings magnet and he provides exciting fights, White's a marketing genius and he knows a money-maker when he sees one. I don't believe Kimbo will ever be more than he is, a knock-out artist. Everyone talks about how he will eventually get a bit of a ground game but I don't see him learning more than the ability to get back up off his back. I don't mean to bad mouth Kimbo, he's come a long way from his YouTube street fights and his right-hand and ring presence are unmatched in TUF, but you can't expect him to become more than what he is, especially at his age. I see him coming into the UFC for a few good years of amazingly exciting fights then retiring as one of the most popular fighters out there. As for Roy, he did what he set out to do: beat Kimbo with the least effort possible. Was it exciting? no. Did it make him look good? no. Did he win? effortlessly, and really thats all that matters when it comes to TUF. I agree that Kimbo looked good standing up, but does he deserve a contract with the UFC? Probably not.
