Kimbo Slice Is Garbage

Kevin Ferguson, better known as "Kimbo Slice" is criminally overrated by a lot of MMA fans. Quite frankly, he's garbage. Kimbo slice is nothing more than a brawler - an overrated brawler at that, with little to no ground game. Seth Petruzelli has shown us that Kimbo is nothing more than a swing-at-the-fence street brawler by stopping him in 14 seconds, and Roy Nelson cemented this fact.

Kimbo Slice is garbage, but I can't fault the guy for stepping into the MMA world to compete. My biggest problem with slice isn't necessarily slice, it's with his fanboys; the morons who watched him on YouTube and thought he could compete at the highest level of MMA - without any serious training. And the new comers to MMA are still trying to hype Kimbo up, and keep making excuses for his losses.

Let's face the facts: Kimbo Slice is 35 years old with no ground game, arthritis and below average striking. He might have excelled in the world of bar brawls and street fights, but he'll never amount to anything big in the UFC. Kimbo is and will always be a spectacle/freak show for ratings.

Kimbo Slice has also shown no willingness in the past to work on his ground game or take down defense; two integral areas where he needs to improve if he wants to be taken seriously and succeed. Kimbo might get a few wins before it's all said and done, by banging out some heavyweight slugs; heavyweights who aren't smart enough to take the fight to the ground; but Kimbo Slice will never be a serious UFC heavyweight contender.
