If you had a nickel for every time you heard someone mention 'Kimbo Slice' today then you could have probably afforded that Duchees Honey Bun on the A4 slot inside your vending machine at work. Now it looks like you're going to have to settle for those Funyuns that taste alright for a couple of minutes until you realize that you're just throwing your life away. Funyuns are good if you feel like eating onion ring flavored fat...in the shape of onion rings. If you prefer junk food shaped to imitate vegetables then Funyuns are for you. If that's your dietary preference then I apologize for offending you. I will now write this article in the shape of an apology and stuff it in an aluminum bag.

Last night the entire world bared witness to Kimbo Slice's first footsteps inside the octagon. The outcome wasn't what many people wanted (or even expected). Mr. Slice was gently ground and pounded into a TKO loss and Roy Nelson then asked Dana White for a Whopper with cheese. If you listened quietly you could hear the Burger King executives cutting Roy Nelson a check. Despite the loss, millions of people tuned in to watch Kimbo Slice vs. Roy Nelson. Actually 5.3 million viewers tuned in to last night's episode (with the actual fight peeking at 6.1 million viewers). That makes it the highest rated MMA show in history. Kimbo, welcome to the UFC and I hope you enjoy your 92 fight contract. [Source]

And people think that Dana White is just going to let Kimbo go because he lost some BS fight even though he racked in the most people in MMA history. What you think hes going to drop Kimbo from the UFC so he can let Strikeforce get those same ratings? lol

Its BUSINESS!

I believe it's actually a 93 fight contract.

Actually, it was only the the 4th most watched MMA fight in history. Kimbo on EliteXC did more.

I could watch Kimbo get KOed or TKOed every UFC event and I would still want him on the main card. The dude is like the heavyweight Houton Alexandar... Actually now that I put it that way I say make that fight happen. Alexandar vs. Kimbo. Then we know that someone is leaving in a stretcher!

Let me correct my self. This fight was ONLY the 4th most watched MMA fight in North American television history. Japan holds all records for most watched MMA fights in MMA's history.

The title is very misleading. Its not even the most watched MMA fight in Spikes history (Tito vs Shamrock).
