How do you figure?
Is it because he gets them alot of press? I can maybe see that, but then again, if that is the case, you could say that Kimbo Slice was EliteXC's Iceman, as Chuck got the UFC alot of press.
Other than the press, I cannot see how Brock is like Kimbo. Kimbo was a street fighter; Brock is a former NCAA HW Wrestler.
Kimbo was used as the headliner of fights when he fought cans; Brock has only been used as a headliner once and that was when he fought Captain America.
Kimbo has not shown any improvement from one fight to the next; Brock has shown massive amounts of improvement from one fight to the next.
Kimbo has been fighting cans and when he didn't, he was either knocked out or dispite tapping in the second round, he was given a phantom stoppage; Brock fought 1 can in hist first MMA match, which was outside of the UFC, but in the UFC he has fought 2 former HW champions and a guy who took the current Interim HW Champ the distance.
So, please enlighten us all by explaining how Brock is the UFC's Kimbo Slice?
