Dana White talks Kimbo, Special Contract

by Steve Cofield | 6/3/09 1:24 AM | source: sports.yahoo.com | 12036 Views | 68 Comments

The fans excitement or anger over Kimbo Slice being on The Ultimate Fighter 10 is surpassed only by the actual fighters on the show and Dana White. Everyone is fired up to take out the biggest name and Kimbo has an opportunity to land a huge deal if he wins the show. White confirmed that Kimbo's deal is unlike any other TUF contestant (2:40 mark):

"He's got a contract if he wins the show. A contract to fight in the UFC. And it's a good one. That's his carrot. If he can do this, he can make some real money."

Wrong. Do not fighter bash. It's one thing to talk technique or fights. It's another to call them a fraud and a POS. Follow the rules and respect the people who get in the ring.

I heard Huerta had a 'special contract' at one point with Dana. That was until he cheated on Blaf with GSP........ Hopefully this new fling lasts a little longer, for Kimbo's sake.

This is win-win for Kimbo IMO. Scenario 1. He does great on the show, he gets a great contract with the UFC and life is Rosy. Scenario 2. He doesn't do so great on the show, but he gets more exposure, more TV time and back onto every MMA forum i the world like he was when fighting for EliteXC. He doesn't make it into the UFC but gets offered 'big money' by other promotions like he already is. But now that he's even more (in) famous than before, he can ask for even bigger money. The only thing that can go wrong is if he gets destroyed in his very first fight and he turns out to have no personality. DROC

Kimbo stopped listening to Bas and was not training hard going into the Shamrock/Seth fight. Bas was done working with him before the fight even happened and has not seen him since the fight. That was last I heard.

What's the scoop with the Bas/Kimbo split?

It could be that Kimbo is being paid by Spike or Pilgrim entertainment or whomever, so Dana can say the UFC is not offering Kimbo anything different than anyone else who has gone on the show.
