Dana White Disses Kimbo Slice
Dana might have to eat these words someday:
White does not think that Slice is ready for the UFC.
"Sean Gannon beat him in a street fight. Everyone saw happened to Sean Gannon when he fought a guy that no one ever heard of (a decisive TKO loss to Branden Lee Hinkle in the UFC)," said White, "Gannon was in the hospital for three weeks."
"That's what would happen to Kimbo Slice if he fought in the UFC. He would get hurt bad - real bad," White said.

I have no doubt that if Kimbo continues to impress and takes on some serious competition and win the UFC will try and court him.
I just hope the next EliteXC is carried by the Fight network again. I was impressed with Tank's comments on "Inside MMA" and I think the bout will be pretty decent. Hopefully more competitive than Kimbo's last outing anyway.

That's the fight that would have the BE crew slitting their wrists: "Which unproven fighter do we nut-hug? The bare-knuckle brawler who may have no ground game, or the wrestler who has no idea how to finish fights? It's too much!" (just kidding guys! I kid because I love! Keep up the good work!)

Re: Dana White Disses Kimbo Slice
Having rewatched the Lesnar/Mir fight about 30 times now (counting the blows to the back of the head - I see 5, the third one looks unintentional), I have to say that Lesnar's strikes on the ground didn't look that great. I'm sure that the whole Force = Mass x Acceleration means that his giant hands don't have to be moving very fast to smash somebody, but he really needs some help with his ground n pound as well. He's not getting his weight behind his strikes.
Re: Dana White Disses Kimbo Slice
I'm not saying Kimbo would or wouldn't get hurt...but c'mon Kimbo/Gannon is a different fight than Kimbo/Hinkle.
I think if Kimbo can get a few decent wins under his belt, Dana may sing a different tune...unless he's in such denial at that point that a street fighter could possibly choose to take the sport seriously...Brock did...
