Why the Kimbo Hate?

[Runontexas]

I hope Kimbo makes fools out of all you wannabes.
Kimbo's viral marketing campaign of himself is uncanny. His story should be written about, because he branded himself into a millionaire. To me, Wes Sims and all the rest like him are jealous more than anything.
Kimbo vs. Chuck 2010.

Kimbo a millionaire?? hahah. good stuff. Kimbo just isnt a martial artist, simple as that. Hes also to old to be starting and will not be successfull in the UFC ever.

really? Wow.... uh. all the hate is cause he knows nothing about MMA but some kind of striking, he has 0 stamina, no ground game, and he "threw that fight"

He is basically getting a ride into fame from being a street fighter.

Sounds to me like you're going to be upset when he gets punked on the semi finals of TuF

skill less kimbo sure seems to be doing pretty well for himself handles himself alot better than most ufc fighters....Kimbo get ko'd he stands there and compliments the dude....whereas forrest ufc dear fighter get's ko'd he runs out the cage and this guy is supposed to be pullin ufc image....same with brock wins he goes and flips off the crowd says he's gonna do his wife. kimbo wins he says he's got to improve more on his game and get better.

quick question how long will kimbo continue to have no ground game? like learning the ground is impossible? well bas said this and this so kimbo must not be working on it
I have a hard time believing Kimbo's won his tompson fight with out a little ground game and i'm pretty sure he's got a shit ton better since then.
I hope kimbo gets a win by armbar on the show i just seen a video of him pullin one off pretty good.

Im from Miami, but i do agree kimbo is a fluke. his up and coming should be written about but thats all. it ends with the ko by "pink" petruzelli. like hendoallday said, he has no stamina, no kind of ground game and (that rear naked to ray mercer in his expo fight dosnt count either)and his street thug stand up is not enogh to compete with the likes of these all around mma fighters now in days. MMA has become a martial art in itself, the elite fighters have the full package and have started mad early, from wrestling in college to bjj training to boxing mechanics and kickboxing. you have to be well rounded to possess all tools to fight anykind of fight. Kimbo wont make it past The Ultimate Fighter.

I hate him because he wants to do bad things to my caterpillar.

How should a martial artist act? Should they invite fans to post fight parties at some random Las Vegas strip joint? Should they thank their clothing sponsors?


How exactly does the modern martial artist conduct himself? Out of interest,Are you a fan of the karate kid?
