"All I said is fight to someone real," Liddell said. "The only guy he lost to in his street-fight things came into the UFC and lost. Fight a guy that is real and fight a guy... who has a few wins in MMA, and then talk about it."

Before he talks about fighting me, he might want to think about beating somebody that has a winning record," Liddell said. "He's an Internet sensation who beat up guys at Taco Bell. Come on. How hard is that to do?"

"That first fight they had on HDNet, he fought a guy that had been knocked out two times before in less than 30 seconds, and he tapped on his way down in [that] one," Liddell said. "That was three fights that he lost in less than 30 seconds. How many guys do you know who's done that?

"Talk about a tomato can."

I just cant get over this whole drama fest, I mean Kimbo warning Lidell is so F***ing absurd. Im sorry I dont think Fedor warning Lidell wouldn't mean shit to Chuck never mind Kimbo f***ing Slice.

I'd kinda like to see the fight.

Not because it would be a good fight, but because theres always a morbid fascination associated with watching a Wayne Weems VS Fedor caliber match up.

It's like, you know you shouldn't be laughing at the carnage, but it is pretty damn funny. Like a bus full of clowns getting run over by a train.

Chuck has been absolutely correct from the beginning on this. The fact is that Kimbo's popularity is due to his internet videos....theres no debating it.

Why Kimbo felt the need to warn Chuck for saying that his popularity is based on the internet videos is beyond me. Does Kimbo actually beleive that anybody would know who he is without them!!

Chuck has earned the right to question the legitimacy of Kimbo as an MMA fighter considering that he is one of the all time greats of the sport. Kimbo should take notice and prove his metal against real fighters....then speak.

Chuck's right! If Kimbo has a problem with anything Chuck said, he should fight Brett Rogers, Ricco Rodriguez, and Antonio Silva.

Three Heavywieghts in EXC that would easily destroy Kimbo.

Instead of issuing "warnings", he should prove Chuck wrong.

I hate the hype rolling around Kimbo. He hasn't fought anyone that can fight. He's made a career of being a bully, fighting guys that don't belong in the sport.

Watching him and Tank go at it was like watching someone beat up a friend's drunk grandpa.

It wasnt LIKE watching someone beat up a friend's drunk grandpa, it WAS watching someone beat up a friend's drunk grandpa. lol. Yeah, Kimbo needs to not talk at all and actually fight someone. James Thompson doesnt count. It is only his third fight though and another heavyweight without the hype he has had beaten the two guys he has and had a fight with Thompson coming up it wouldnt be looked down upon so much, its just the fact that he talks like he is a proven mma fighter or something.

Chuck's right. Kimbo needs to realize that being an internet sensation doesn't give you credibility with professional fighters.

To be the best you have to beat the best. He needs to fight someone with some talent. They should just take Bo Cantrell off his record because that win means nothing.

Kimbo oviously has no interest in fighting top guys, I mean if he wants to prove he is the best why doesnt he call out Bigfoot or even Ricco, hell Ricco was pretty much calling Kimbo out before Street Certified but notice how Kimbo doesnt call out Rodriguez because that is a fight that could be made and Kimbo dont want none of that.

Kimbo can't hold Liddell's cup and Chuck shouldn't be responding, exactly what Elite XC wants.

chuck responding isnt good for elitexc imo, they allready got bulk hype from kimbo i doubt this will generate more, but kimbo making statements about coming down to chucks gym to fight him will generate into a huge joke if chuck keeps talkin shit about kimbo and kimbo tries to act tough making statements about streetfighting.

though its not kimbos fault idiots think hes the best fighter in the world, he hasnt really hyped himself up
 
#26 ·
Well as Boss said when Kimbo fought Tank, "he puts asses in seats", and that is all that Elite XC cares about right now. They are fighting to secure the #2 spot in MMA promotions and the hype around Kimbo equals a promoters dream.

Either one of two things will happen. Either Kimbo will keep fighting nobodies and people will get tired of watching him or he'll step up and fight real fighters and either prove that he deserves to be here or fade away.

Great find... I would agree with chuck till Kimbo fights someone worthy i understand building a fighter up but still he has not faught a top fighter or even a close to being top fighter.. Give him some compitetion..
 
#32 ·
lol i posted this so called warning from kimbo like a week ago{unfortunatly its moved to ufc multimedia} lol i knew it wouldnt take chuck long to respond to this idiot i agree with everything chuck says here.

kimbo needs at least 5 more fights before he should move up to the big leagues look what happened to brock lesnar he should take his time before getting 2 far ahead of himself and calling out seasoned veterans

someone better than a can will beat Kimbo..
Even though the HW division is weakest division, IMO most HW's in the UFC is capable of beating him..
Chuck will take him to the ground and beat him..

The one thing that really stuck out for me is how slow Kimbo's hands are. I'm not saying he wouldn't knock me out, but I just cannot see him catching some of the more athletic heavyweights.
