Kimbo's Thoughts?

What do you think Kimbo was thinking when Rashad invited him to train with his team? For me, I would GUESS Kimbo was thinking about Rampage's coaching style and the fact that he could learn maybe a little more training with Rashad. But, on the other hand, he could've been thinking 'screw Rashad, I'll be on Rampage's team till the end, win or lose.' We all heard what he said to Rashad and to the camera when he was alone, but what was really going through his mind?

If you were in his position, what would you have done? Train with the better coach for the benefit of your OWN future, or stay with the coach who chose you first and treated you like an A student, even though he called you and your team mates "quitters"?

I would've turned down Rashad due to the way he went about things. Being his phony self and trying to dig Rampage by inviting everybody rather than doing it for his fighters good (even though it is a good idea).

Since it was abrupt infront of everyone etc like that i'd have declined. If it had been set up and talked about before-hand i'd have switched.

yeah rashad had a good idea. but, he blew it by trying to embarrass rampage in front of the cameras. it backfired on him and made him look like an ass.

rashad is obviously a much better coach. but, since watching this show, i have grown to dislike his personality. and i was one of his few fans before the season started.

Loyalty can be tricky! Knee jerk reaction would be to not go. Like Kimbo said "ride or die!". But on the same token the "leader of the pack", Rampage, the top dog of "Team Rampage" himself threw everyone from his tema under the bus, when he said that the fighters quit on themselves! Implying ZERO accountability for his lack of leadership but instead merely stating that "I aint a coach, that's why I brought them along...etc." Well the team's name on the back of the jersys don't read "Team 'Them'". Those words were said regardless of any of the editing tricks. But no one wants to be labeled a traitor though or a sell out! TUF decision!
