Kimbo Slice Still Lacks A Ground Game

Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 11:36 pm.

Kimbo Slice, the Internet sensation-turned-MMA fighter, is getting his second chance in the ring on this season’s Ultimate Fighter.

And after little hype leading up to his fight, Slice stepped in the ring on Wednesday’s episode against Elite XC alum Roy Nelson.

Good to know nothing has changed with Slice – - he still has no ground game and the two round fight was stopped after Nelson had Kimbo trapped on the mat.

It was a boring fight from both fighters and it could be the beginning of the end for Kimbo’s MMA career.

Fighting in South Florida backyards for money is one thing, but stepping into the UFC ring is another.

Until Slice shows any signs of a ground game, he can forget about being a legit fighter.

“Rampage” Is Having a Bad Week

Published by Marcus Vanderberg on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 3:54 pm.

Quinton JacksonQuinton “Rampage” Jackson is giving DMX a run for his money for the number of run-ins with the cops in one week.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship star was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony reckless driving, and felony hit and run after striking several vehicles on Wednesday.

This, after Jackson led police on a high speed chase in a car that had a photo of himself plastered on the side of the vehicle.

Now comes word that Jackson was picked up by police in Irvine, California Thursday morning and transported to a hospital for observation.

Observation = Your ass is crazy.

Jackson has come out and said he has been “depressed” since losing to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86 on July 5.

I’m no doctor (I just play one on the Internet) but hitting cars and running from the cops sounds like more than just depression to me.
