The guy’s a hood rat who spent 10 years in prison. What’d ya’ll expect? He’s respectful, humble and a hard worker, and he fully understands the oppertunities he’s been given. Give the guy a break.
From what I heard him talking about, he didn’t sound dumb at all. Then I looked up some biographical stuff:
“For college, he attended both Bethune-Cookman University and the University of Miami, where he had an athletic scholarship[10] and studied criminal justice.[6] He was there for only a year and a half.[11] In 1997, he had a tryout with the Miami Dolphins and was part of the pre-season squad, but was unable to get a place in the first team.[7][12]”

Agreed. So he lost to undercarder seth petruzzi and he is not overly articulate that is no reason to clown the guy. Just how many articulate asshats have we seen on Ultimate Fighter over the years anyway? Quite a few actually.
Well thats how you know what im sayin’ we ride ya feelin me’ down here in the 305 you know what im sayin’ man? Thats how we all talk you know what im saying’ down here in dirty dade. we haven’t talked real english in a minute you’ know what im sayin’?
Look, I understand that someone like Kimbo who all he did was street fight really didn’t need much of a vocabulary, but now that he is mainstream and has been on television and has done several interviews that can be seen all over the internet, you would think that he would want to appear more intellectual and speak with confidence. I remember on T.V. a while back there was a interview with Tiger Woods when he discussed having some sort of speech problem when he was young, and he then took classes and was able to speak without having issues. He realized that he was going to be seen and heard all over the world so he decided to become a better speaker, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Maybe Kimbo can do the same. OR he can just continue to beat the shit out of people because thats what most people care about.
Here is a video for your enjoyment of some guy at south beach who agreed for a hundred dollars he would let Kimbo tackle him when he went out for a pass with football gear on. Kimbo just layed him out! lol
Who cares, why does everyone have to sound like a yuppie greengo.
who cares if he can fight. i only watched them so i could hear him speaking afterwards
whatever. I understood him just fine.
Kimbo will make Dana a shit ton of money.
He’ll be in the final. It’s all a matter of matchups. They’ll make sure he goes up against a good matchup for him, fellow strikers.
He can improve his conditioning, that’s the easy part. He just has to learn how to get the fuck up after being taken down. He looks like a lost child on the ground. He’s got to learn how to sprawl. He sounds like he knows this.
He could be a very successful 2nd tier guy. There’s not much depth in the heavies, lots of sloppy strikers.
Kool story. he’s not gonna make it outta the show. he’s gonna be a journeyman if anything in the UFC. who cares if he talks like that? i bet many of you have never even seen a black person, have you?

I mean, honestly, where the fuck did you guys grow up? I personally didn’t expect the kid who held a gun to my ear while stealing my sneakers to go off into a quotation from Oscar Wilde before he ran off with them in the 5th grade.
I guess rough mutherfuckers all sound like Rhodes Scholars in your neighborhood.

I don’t know the man’s background, but I can only make assumptions. I assume he’s from the ghetto, barely passed or didn’t pass high school, no college, spent time in jail/prison, and made his earnings by illegal street fighting.
If you’re expect this guy to used perfect English then you’re out of your fucking mind. I’m pretty sure he was speaking from his heart and cleaned it up. He cursed a few times, but it could have been worse. I’ve heard worse.
Same thing for Mike Tyson. But now that he’s older, the man is more knowledgeable than he was in the late 80’s.
So you critics can go fuck yourselves and ride a dick in hell.

I’m not talking fighting skill, I’m talking verbal skills at certain stages of their careers.
A lot of you seem to have never been exposed to many people below middle class. When you look at the type of life that he lived, being in jail for years, etc, he doesn’t really talk that bad honestly. I work in a prison, and his English is pretty good compared to a lot of the inmates that I see every day. A lot of guys I need to almost play a guessing game to figure out what they’re talking about.
I’d be the first person to rip on Kimbo for a lot of things, but for all the shit people are talking, I was expecting a lot worst from this video.

so am i.
but mike tyson was obviously lacking mental stability.
i mean they both say dumb things and theres plenty of videos of Tyson compilations saying stupid (i mean way dumber/crazier) things.
i didn’t realize that before being allowed to make fun/laugh about something you were required to read an entire biography about the person.
funny is funny, deal w/ it

That is a instant classic .
Actually cursing aside he seemed pretty articulate and humble, I always liked the guy a lot of people for some reason which I will never understand love to hate this guy. fixed
