Watching UFC 100 I saw a commercial where the UFC was promoting TUF 11 which includes Kimbo Slice. I dont understand why they are promoting Kimbo and not the coaches, Rampage and Rashad Evans. Maybe i'm too 'old school' of an MMA to understand why they are pushing him. Is Kimbo really that popular? Is everyone going to tune in to TUF 11, just like myself, to watch him get his ass kicked?

Not if Dana White has something to say about it(Kimbo being in UFC).

I think its a win-win situation for Dana White and the UFC. If Kimbo wins then you have a guy that can bring in the PPV buys similar to a Brock Lesnar and if he loses then Dana White can rub it in his face saying that only the best fighters are in the UFC.

I agree with BeKirk... White doesn't have anything to lose. I think Kimbo does have a gathering, and despite his previous loss, he will still draw a crowd for another PPV. If Dana puts Kimbo up against another up-and-coming UFC fighter, he can use Kimbo as a stepping stone if he wins. If Kimbo wins, he just let's it ride.

I would love to see Dana White vs Kimbo. I would pay to see that little fag get his teeth knocked out!
