Josh Barnett Comments on Kimbo!

Found this on MMAWeekly, thought it was kinda cool atleast everyone's not against him.


Another heavyweight that has received a lot of press is Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson. EliteXC has marketed the former street fighter heavily and has received some harsh criticism from some MMA fighters. Barnett, however, seems to be in the minority.



“I'm a fan. I like him. I think he's good for the sport. He trains hard. I think he's really taking the route to become a full on pro fighter. I don't think he's the type of guy you pick off of Felony Fights. This guy is big, powerful. It's clear that he's an athlete.”

Nothing wrong with Kimbo, hes a personality and elite are marketing him, no problem with that. I think if people rag on him then they are ragging on all professional fighters

The only man Barnett despises and has talked trash about in the past is Minotauro.

I believe he also talked some shit about Mirko prior to their very first fight. Can't recall the exact words though...

Hey that's cool. Josh recongnizes that he trains hard, instead of having the image of putting a thug inside a cage.

This is straight up retarded. How does Kimbo set the sport back years?
