Video of the Day

I wouldn't care if aliens landed on the planet and someone filmed the entire thing. Could there possibly be a better candidate for Video of the Day than this?

Kimbo speaks

He admits to losing to Sean Gannon, but claims Chuck Liddell can't touch him here.

Mercer vs. Kimbo press conference

This one's going to be a doozy.

All day.

Snapshot of the Day

Technically not a snapshot, but you know what I mean.

Slice is compartmentalized

In an interview with touchgloves.com, Kimbo Slice reveals his ability to believe he can behave in a number of different ways without contradiction. Notable quote:

Anything you want to say to your fans?
Stay tuned. After the fight, catch me "in the VIP", and stay with it. Keep me in mind and keep me in your prayers.

That's right, folks! After his FIGHT, you can watch him in a PORNO film, then you can PRAY for him.

Kimbo out already?

That's what Jeff Sherwood reported today. Apparently an ACL injury.

Fuck.

All day, baby

The man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Kimbo Slice himself will be making his MMA debut very soon, according to FC Fighter. Notable quote:

“Merciless” Ray Mercer, a former WBO heavyweight boxing champ and gold medalist in the 1988 Olympics, will take on bare-knuckle boxing and Internet legend Kimbo Slice in a three-round exhibition bout utilizing professional MMA rules at the Ca ge Fury Fighting Championship 5 show, said matchmaker Gary Marino today. Dubbed “Brawl at the Hall”, CFFC 5 will take place on June 16th at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey .

I'm not even going to pretend to make a prediction. I have no idea how Kimbo will fare under full MMA rules and I have no idea what kind of skills Mercer has at this point. Both claim to be training, Slice at the Freestyle Fighting Academy and Mercer, well, is doing something somewhere.

But it shouldn't be hard to tell where my loyalties lie. All day, baby.

UPDATE: More info on Kimbo's training:

Kimbo, despite what many people think, had never trained consistently before. He has a busy schedule and hadn't made the mental commitment before.

Now he has decided to commit 100% to professional fighting and is taking the plunge into MMA. Considering his background is pure striking, he is taking a tough first fight. Most fighters from established camps take easier fights for their first few. Keep in mind, Kimbo is still a white belt.

That being said, we have about three months to prepare for this bout. Kimbo will be coming in FANTASTIC shape and will be ready to take out Mercer. Kimbo has solid striking technique and incredible power... with guts to match.

He is working MMA with black belts David Avellan, Efrain Ruiz, and myself. For his boxing, he is working with FFA striking coach Eric "El Tigre" Castanos (three-time kickboxing world champion and boxing coach of Jermain Taylor). He definitely will be trained properly for the fight.

The "myself" mentioned here is Marcos Avellan.
