If Kimbo could more or less disassociate himself with those porn kings down there, I think I might like him a bit more.

Good to hear he's taking this seriously.

Zeke- I don't think there is a source that is good enough for some people to recognize the potential in Kimbo. For whatever reason, people just hate on him, even if he is doing whatever it takes to make it in MMA. They will always find some excuse to knock him. As if Bas Rutten's word isn't good enough. Why would he praise Kimbo in that manner if Kimbo hasn't even had his debut yet? Because Kimbo's for real...

I'm with you, Zeke. People can't come to grips with the fact that the fighter that they've been knocking, the one they said would never make it in MMA, is being backed by one of the legends of the sport. Deal with it, people...

If someone wants to withhold judgement on Kimbo for the moment, that's one thing, but calling Bas and everyone other MMArtist that's trained with Kimbo a liar (since unanimously so far they've all said good things) it just seems stupid. Withhold judgement, cool, call all of those MMArtists liars... stupid and premature.
