He's worked for Mike, who owns those sights for years. Most of the guys that are on Team Kimbo, work or have worked for him. He funds all of their training and is even building a MMA gym in Lauderdale. Mike has Reality Kings, MILF Hunter, 8th St. Latinas etc. etc. Kimbo has pretty much been Mike's bodyguard for the past few years...but now he's training all the time. Mike obviously has taken a huge interest in Kimbo's fighting career.

.......So I guess I'm kinda funding Kimbo too....

I think these guys can answer that

EliteMMAGym

I would like to hear an opinion from someone who isn't getting paid to train him. What are they gonna say? We aren't doing a very good job training him? Let us know when you hear who he is fighting next, I hope it is someone respectable. And get me a free password to those porn sites.

Cuban enters Couture tug-of-war

The likely promoter of a potential Randy Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko match was revealed last week when Mark Cuban's HDNet Fights filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Dallas against Zuffa LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The suit is an attempt to get a court ruling on when Couture's contract expires and when he can fight for Cuban, who is best known as the billionaire owner of the NBA?s Dallas Mavericks, or another non-UFC promoter.

Con'td....

Nortje Stuns Sapp with First-Round Onslaught

Bob Sapp (Pictures) vs. Jan Nortje (Pictures)
Round 1
Sapp ducked his head and went for a takedown. Nortje landed a right hand that opened a small cut above Sapp's left eye. Another right landed for Nortje. Sapp turned his back to Nortje, and ate nine consecutive left hands before crashing to the canvas. Nortje stood over Sapp and landed a few extra shots for good measure. The official time is 0:55 of the first.

He could make a bit more without having the fireworks when he enters the arena & ring

Kimbo vs Ken Shamrock

Kimbo vs Ken Shamrock

So now he's fighting a 44 year old?

Geesh.

Now I agree Shamrock is a better test but is this part of the Team Kimbo plan, fight a bunch of big-name has-beens in order to get the name out and then battle the real competitors?

Anxious to see how this one turns out.

Kimbo vs Ken Shamrock

I heard Kimbo and Buentello might fight each other next, and Ken's next fight from what I hear is his brother Frank in 09.

Sounds like Henderson tested Silva...a little bit at least. Complete Card Results

A Reign Supreme - Silva Submits Hendo in Two

By Thomas Gerbasi

After his sixth straight UFC victory without a loss, astring that has seen him show new wrinkles to his game with each passing outing (none of which have gone past the second round), UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva has reached the point in his career where competition is not measured by how many fights he wins or loses, but by how many rounds he loses.

Tonight in the highly anticipated UFC 82 main event at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, Silva lost the first round to PRIDE 183-pound champion Dan Henderson. In round two, Silva turned up the heat and finished Henderson with a rear naked choke.

Game over and another victory for the most dominant fighter in the game today.

?My hat?s off to Anderson Silva,? said a gracious Henderson. ?He was definitely the better fighter tonight. I controlled him well and beat him up a little bit in that first round and he came back ready to get after me in that second round. He dazed me a little bit on the ground and he got me in the choke.?

The opening seconds were tense as Henderson moved forward behind probing kicks to the leg. Silva fired back with a leg kick of his own 70 seconds into the bout, but a brief follow-up exchange produced no fireworks. As the bout approached the three minute mark, Silva was trying to work his kicks, but it was Henderson who broke the ice scoring wise with a takedown. Silva did his best to keep Henderson tied up as the Californian fired off a series of hammerfists at close range, and with under 30 seconds left Henderson briefly got into side control before ending up in Silva?s guard by round?s end.

Silva came out with more urgency in the second round, firing off kicks that Henderson was able to brush off with little difficulty. Henderson fired back with some haymakers, but while Silva waved his foe on, the close exchanges allowed Henderson to grab hold of ?The Spider? and tie him up against the fence. Once the two separated, Henderson landed with a couple of hard strikes, but Silva responded with a right knee to the head that appeared to jar ?Hendo?. Henderson looked for the takedown, but Silva jumped into the top position and tried to land a finisher. As the round entered its final two minutes, Henderson?s head was clear, but Silva was actively working, and with under a minute to go, the UFC champion got his foe?s back and sunk in a rear naked choke. Henderson valiantly tried to fight it off and make it to the end of the round, but at the 4:52 mark he was forced to tap out.

With the win, Silva ups his record to 21-4, which includes six wins without a loss in the UFC. Henderson falls to 22-7.

I was there last night and sat in the second row. Long story, but my buddy and I were given the tickets and VIP passes yesterday at 3pm.

Anthony Gonzo sat 4 seats down from me with his dad and brothers. His brothers were a riot, but Gonzo didn't say too much. I guess years of being bothered will do that to ya.

Thought some of you Kimbo nuthuggers *cough*starBucks*cough* might enjoy this.

The info comes from a guy who met Randy & Kim Couture at Wellington Xtreme Couture Gym in Wellington, FL. Looks like Kimbo and Forrest Griffin sparred a little bit with surprising results.

Also, the funniest thing she said was when I asked her opinion on Kimbo, she said at first she was a bit skeptical, but he came in one day to their gym in Vegas and showed he had a very tough heart and trained hard. Also, him and Forrest sparred and he was KO'd by Forrest and he never came back again!
