c'mon it's not like Kimbo is satan or something.
doesn't seem like that bad of a guy give him some credit for actually fighting seriously.

It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

I'll believe it when I see it.
As for White, he did say the only way this clown would fight in the UFC would be on TUF. So he did stick to his word. If this even happens, of course.
When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

What is this world coming to ?!?!

Kimbo won't be the worst guy to ever be on TUF.
Also, the rumor is that Sean Gannon is also in this season, which should make for some interesting tension, if it's true.

If Kimbo is indeed on TUF, I wonder if he has improved at all? Is Bas still running around talking about how hard-working and skilled Kimbo is?

I think this is a great move. I for one will be watching.

As much as I don't like Tito, at least he was a trained fighter. Not some big doof swinging his massive arms hoping to get lucky.

Dana White's former remarks on Kimbo aside, this is actually a brilliant move.
He gets to pull Kimbo on board, and in doing so attract all the hype and audience that Kimbo has built up. Is anyone talking about Fedor's next fight on Affliction? nope, all the talk is Kimbo, TUF, and UFC 100.
In addition, rumblings have been made about UFC wanting or needing to attract more of the African American and Latino prospective untapped fans out there. Bringing in Kimbo is a fair move in that direction.
Lastly, Dana doesn't look like a hypocrite and sell out, because he is in essence putting Kimbo through the works, giving him a test. As a result, if Kimbo gets powned, Dana can simply say "look, I told you so before", and if Kimbo does well or even wins, he can point out that Kimbo has trained over the past few years and then on the show and evidently legitimized his self and wasn't just given a pass for being Kimbo Slice.

Yup. And Dana may even admit he was wrong Kimbo makes it in (although I doubt it).
I don't know who the other contestant will be, but do you think Kimbo will still intimidate the less experiened fighters?

I doubt it too. Notice the last few seasons the fighters had to win a fight to make it on the show. They aren't doing that this season.
I'b bet the other guys are chomping at the bit to fight him.

You Talkin Ta Me?
I don't know why everyone is so hard on Kimbo, the guy never said he was awesome. He said it himself, he is still learning the trade, and with only four fights under his belt can you really blame him? How many MMA fighters on here can say in their first four fight they looked good against PROFESSIONAL fighters, not amateur fighters.
I don't know how he gives an organization a bad rep. The guy used to beat up guys on youtube a couple years back, but he wasn't really tested (except Ganon) because of his size. So what does he do, he goes into arguable the toughest combat sport there is to test himself and improve. And he's composed himself in a professional manner, even though the whole time ppl like Dana called him a freak and a sideshow. I don't recall Kimbo ever returning the favor.

Just watched a sneak peak clip on the TUF mainpage.
I really want to see Kimbo go in there, train his ass off, stay out of the drama and prove he is willing to work...wether he win or lose at any given point.
I thought it was BS of Rampage to start off the way he did by telling Kimbo he didn't need to do anything during the 1st workout. They didn't show past that in the sneak peak but I'm hoping Kimbo gets out their and works.
and, frak, those football players are hyuge!!!! even Rashad and Rampage could be seen to kinda swallow and go 'oh, sh!t'.
GreenCloud...not to steal your thunder for starting this topic but I might create a TUF 10 topic and merge this with it...i think there is going to be a lot of discussion about this season and might as well merge things early. *edit* well, looky there...you had one started already

yea, no ****.
pretty unimpressive fight, wrestler couldn't finish, big guy was out of it from the beginning
the 4 fights on 'Fight Night' were pretty good...especially the first one.
