IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO HATE KIMBO

 

I blasted the Elite XC main event but stayed away from trashing Kimbo. He doesn’t decide who is put in front of him.

There’s quite a Kimbo debate raging in the MMA world. Most of the purists dislike the guy. But you gotta have the big picture in mind. As long he’s not going to continue fighting “the bum of the month” club, he’s cool in my book. Kimbo has everything you need to be star.

The story is awesome and the guy is 1000% real. His personality is perfect for the sport. 

He was on the Dan LeBatard show in Miami on Friday. Kimbo was a riot.

LeBatard is a tough guy to like. His ego is bigger than Antonio Silva’s noggin. And he’s apparently a rough guy to work with. I had a remote engineer tell me that the techs down in Miami call him “Le Bastard.”

That said, this was a cool interview. LeBatard did a great job making it completely conversational. Unlike 99% of talk hosts, you could tell he was actually listening to Kimbo. LeBatard has been a big fan of Kimbo’s for a long time.

Highlights of the interview include Kimbo saying….

*He thought many of the people at the Miami event were rooting for him to lose

*He ripped the club, Opium, that hosted his afterparty

*Kimbo addressed the question of steroid-use without getting offended

*He also talked of kicking back and smoking a blunt

*Kimbo says American Airlines Arena could be the site of his next fight v. Ken Shamrock
