Indeed, just looks like a picture from an alternate universe. Same feeling I got when I saw CroCop wearing UFC gloves the first time

i'm officially going to start shaving arrows into my chest hair.

and a little caption in stubble that reads “my eyes are up here.”

I liked it better when it was completely shaved on one side

Dude, imagine sending yourself this pic 1 year ago.

He had just beat Thompson 5/31/2008 and was on top of the world according to ESPN and CBS.

Is that his Brock Lesnar impression?

by xDieseLx on Jun 3, 2009 1:57 PM EDT reply actions

just out of curiosity...

… is he the oldest contestant in the history of the show? i think even some of the older guys on the comeback season (shonie, etc) were younger than 35 at the time.

by woooburn on Jun 3, 2009 2:04 PM EDT reply actions

He’s not even the oldest guy on season ten Marcus Jones is. It is pretty rare to have guys that old on the show though.

by Brian Bobby on Jun 3, 2009 2:12 PM EDT reply actions

if it was filmed in ’05, then he was probably 35. good catch! completely forgot about that fatherless bastard

I’d have said Kimbo has a great shot at winning, but a couple of the ex-NFLers looked pretty damn good in their pre-TUF fights. I’ll be rooting for him. As much as I wanted to hate him, I wanted him to do well in EXC. He seems to be a pretty genuine guy. We’ll see.

TUF is the perfect place for him to start.

Kimbo Slice is on Jim Rome is Burning – anyone ever notice Yves reffed the Petruzelli fight and did another kind of half assed stop?

That was Troy Waugh, not Yves.

Kimbo's UFC Picture

He shaved the one pec finally and now has an arrow pointing to his chin. It’s slightly more subtle than a target, I suppose, though Seth Petruzelli didn’t have much trouble finding the mark without the “HIT ME HERE” sign.

Or maybe it’s a reverse Lesnar.

...Behold, a pale horse. The man that sat upon it was Wieters, and hell followed with him.

Team Rampage?

In both video’s today Rashad’s been wearing a black and gold soccer jersey which is, presumably his team colours for the show. Does that mean that Kimbo’s on team Rampage or did they just get him some funky shorts for the photoshoot?

Interesting…

If the one legged jab from a pink haired fighter K.O.’d Kimbo then one punch from Houston would send his head into the 8th row.

The first couple of seasons of MAD TV were hilarious.

It is really, really strange to see Kimbo decked out in UFC gear. But judging by the pictures we CAN say that he hasn’t been sitting at home on the couch eating chips and drinking beer. The man looks like he’s been doing some serious training, folks.
