Kimbo Slice: The Real Deal or Is He All Hype? By BigC




Kimbo Slice is a man that has a street reputation to scare someone into submission just by Kimbo giving them the evil eye. After hundreds of knockouts in street brawls the street champion has brought his hands of steel to the UFC ring. At 34 Kimbo Slice is still knocking out opponents and he can still bash someone's face in in minutes. Kimbo Slice has been fighting all his life in the street and has brought his show to the UFC organize style of fighting.

If anyone has a success story it is Kimbo Slice. The man who was once homeless has worked his way to be one of the most popular athletes in not just the UFC but in sports. There are only hand of places you can go now that has not heard of the name Kimbo Slice.


 


Now to question is Kimbo all hype. I like to think Kimbo may not be the best fighter in the UFC but he should have hype based on his reputation of the past. However, fighting in the UFC is a new ball game. Kimbo has fought for years but has not experienced fighters at this high level as UFC fighting who are not just about throwing punches. These fighter can fight on the ground as well as kick with the strength of a wild horse.

If Kimbo fights a fighter that is solid on the ground it might be coming to end for Kimbo. All that being said Kimbo is a still a rookie in the UFC. So with more fights and practice he will get better. Kimbo is a lifetime street fighter who is now trying to fight in a organized manner so there will be a long period of adjustment. Anyone that is going up against Kimbo will now look to keep him on the ground since that is his main weakness. In Kimbo's last fight it looked like James figured Kimbo's weakness and could have won the fight if Kimbo did not get the hit to James ears.

So far so good for the rookie Kimbo. Two things Kimbo needs to work on is his endurance because Kimbo gets tired fast and improving his ground attack.
