Kimbo Slice Fights in UFC 113
5/6/10
Kimbo Slice took the world by storm a couple of years ago and helped put Ultimate Fighting on the map for the masses. His street fighting approach is what attracted fans from all over the world. He was quickly exposed once he stepped into the ring with "real fighters" but Kimbo won't go away. He steps into the ring this weekend for UFC 113. Love him or hate him, Kimbo Slice is still good for business UFC fans. His name still attracts viewers which will continue to bring in revenue to help your sport continue to grow.
Fans will be hoping for a freak show when Kimbo Slice and Matt Mitrione step
into the octagon. Prepare to be disappointed as this will be a boring fight.
Kimbo is no longer using the street fighting tactics which earned him millions
of fans through his YouTube videos. Instead Kimbo has developed a more cautious
style since signing with UFC and I expect him to, bizarre as it may sound, try
to out-think his opponent on Saturday. Mitrione is just plain awful and while he
was on Kimbo’s level when they met in The Ultimate Fighter series there’s little
chance of him winning this one.
Back Kimbo Slice to win big with Sports Interaction at UFC 113.
UFC has lined up yet another loaded pay-per-view with the rematch of Lyoto
Machida and Mauricio Rua topping the card this Saturday. Machida retained the
Light Heavyweight title at UFC 104 with a controversial decision victory over
Shogun and the Brazilian duo promise another explosive bout in Montreal. While
Rua came close to pulling off an upset last time out I don’t expect the underdog
to go one better this time out. Lyoto Machida has only been in trouble a couple
of times in his career and every time he has not only pulled through but the
Champion has also raised his game next time out. I expect an epic battle in
Montreal but back Lyoto Machida to win with Sports Interaction.
Josh Kosheck has bettors in fits over what to think about him. He faces Paul
Daley in an eliminator for a shot at the UFC Welterweight title. Kosheck is a
fighter with a tremendous punch but one who forgets he is also a good wrestler.
Against a one-dimensional striker like Daley this should be an easy call, a
smart Kosheck would use his mat skills to finish the Englishman quickly but UFC
bettors know Kosheck is rarely that smart. You can stop holding your breath;
Kosheck is going to raise his game physically and mentally with a title shot on
the line and will do more than enough to win this one. Back Koscheck to win big.
On paper Sam Stout and Jeremy Stephens should provide an explosive and tight
battle. That’s only half true. While possessing different styles, both Stout and
Stephens are proven strikers. Stephens is more entertaining with his direct
attacking style but in truth this makes him the weaker fighter. Against smarter
opponents Stephens has always come up short and this will be no exception. Stout
will make Stephens punch clear air before finishing this one with a KO.
