Kimbo Slice to fight heavyweight kickboxing champion?
Kimbo Slice isn’t very bright.
This comes from Japanese MMA Blog Omasuki Fight, which was translated over at Bloody Elbow.
Japanese tabloid Tokyo Sports reported that Kimbo Slice will be making appearance at Dec 6 K-1 show in Yokohama Japan to say hi to Japanese fans, K-1 Event Producer Tanigawa confirmed. His K-1 debut match will be in March, vs. current K-1 heavyweight champ, Badr Hari.
K-1 is basically kickboxing without elbow and muay thai clinch. Good for Kimbo not have to worry about ground game.
OK let me get this straight, Kimbo will be signed by K-1 to fight in March and be subsequently destroyed by one of the greatest kickboxers walking the planet. If this is true, maybe Kimbo hasn’t done any research on Hari, because he stands ZERO chance of beating Hari in a kickboxing bout. Of course we would even get to see this massacre on HDNET now, more power to him, but if I were his manager I would try to put him in a match where he would at least stand a chance. Bob Sapp, anyone?
Anyone see that commercial where a basketball agent takes his client “Meelosh” around the country in efforts to get a team to sign him? That’s what I picture Kimbo Slice’s people doing.
“Our client, Kimbo, only wants to get his ass beat by your kickboxing champion.”






I am a 48 year old Army Vet. 5’7 240lbs. And I know ,I can beat Kimbo!!! He needs to go back to the back yarns of Fla. Before he turns the MMA into a Joke. MMA is becoming big time , Please don’t let this joker ruin it…..
Kimbo will appear on TUF 10 for the UFC.
Everyone will watch what a fake he is.
Beating up fat bouncers in back yard tapes with “no rule” except no ground fighting doesnt make you anything than a side show.
If he goes to K1 he’ll be hurt.
K1 is not like the UFC or Pride or Affliction.
Its pure striking and kickboxing.
Totally different
