How the hell would you even get in MMA if you're homeless? You have to pay out the ass for training. Trust me, I have a friend doing MMA right now. He's paying a crap load!

He became a interent phenom for his street Fighting.A MMA company the one who used to have shows on CBS called Elite XC signed him to be there crown jewel and paid him some good money.Kimbo had a fight scheduled for airing on CBS but his oponent pulled out due to an injury.His replacement a skinny undercard guy form the UFC eneded up knocking out Kimbo in 14 sec.Elite Xc declared bankruptcy in 2008 leaving many Kimbo Slice fans wanting him in UFC.

So basically someone posted a fight of his on Youtube while he was homeless, and the company went and looked for him? Had to be one in a million odds, hope he makes the most of this :)

Wow, sounds more like a movie than real life... UFC could actually make it into a movie, and gain tons of fans, not to mention a good deal of profit

This fight happened a few weeks ago. Kimbo was doing good against Big Country standing up, but Big Country kept him down and he wasn't able to get up after each time Roy mounted him. Roy Nelson won by referee stoppage due to Kimbo not defending himself.

Seems Kimbo needs to step up a notch or two...
