Conspiracy Theory: Maybe Kimbo Lost on Purpose?
MMA, Video October 6th. 2008, 5:00pm
Hey, it’s not our idea, but that’s what the City of Champs floats. And we gave it some thought this morning, mostly because absolutely nothing about this weekend’s shitshow makes sense. The menacing Internet Sensation, who may or may not have gotten lucky in his first fight, got one-punched by a last-minute fill-in who had pink streaks in his hair. It took all of 14 seconds, and the video is after the jump.
How can a beast who absorbed numerous bare-knuckled punches to the face in his street-fighting days get knocked from one shot to the chin? Why didn’t the referee see that after Slice went down, he got hit in the back of the head, which is illegal? And of course: Does anyone care about Kimbo Slice anymore? Is it possible that he worked on his ground game so much, that he forgot that you don’t lead with your chin?
As for Gus Johnson (fast-forward to 4:20), this wasn’t one of his best calls. In hindsight, it’s easy to say Johnson could have gotten away with one-word (Wow, fraud, or unreal would have worked), and then gone to silence to let the crowd capture the moment.
Here’s a contrarian thought - Kimbo’s stock is at an all-time low. Does UFC make a run at the guy, and put him in the tomato can role?

What the hell is the Tomato Can Role? Dont Mencia and George Lopez already occupy that position?
October 6th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

This post would make MDS roll over in his grave.

October 6th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Dude, Duckworth died in August
October 6th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Seriously, this is pretty retarded.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Who cares?
October 6th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

October 6th, 2008 at 5:27 pm

I saw Kevin Duckworth buying a Slurpee at 7-11..I beg to differ…
October 6th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
Who cares?
If you dont appreciate the Duckworth, take your ass out of the country, slant your eyes, buy gold and shop at Wal-Mart.

heres a theory, mma sucks and is as much the next big thing as womens soccer. or mens soccer.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Except that your theory is wrong Mole, check MMA buy rates, they’re topping every boxing match not involving DLH or FMW.. Plus, a whole new generation of wannabee MMAers have spawned (there’s multiple gyms in every big town in American, something that was non-existent 10 years ago).
MMA is doing just fine.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
No way moleman, MMA is BIG stuff and only expanding. It’s huge on the West Coast, and gaining over here on the East. Kimbo actually being good would’ve helped that. Oh well.

I’m not going to say that I endorse this rumor, but somebody else could argue that he lost on purpose to give him more credibility as a fighter. Or give his quest to become a real fighter more legitimacy. A loss to this guy, who’s a legit fighter, will do a lot more to that effect than a win over Shamrock (the one without braces) would have.

Except that your theory is wrong Mole, check Poker buy-in rates, they’re topping every (struggling sport) match … Plus, a whole new generation of wannabee Poker Players have spawned (there’s multiple tournaments in every big town in American, something that was non-existent 10 years ago).

What did people expect, the dude was primed for a fall from all that hype. The next thing that starts to lose popularity is the UFC.
