Dana White does not consider Kimbo a real fighter. More of a side show act. He said Kimbo would have to win TUF if he wanted to fight in the UFC. Basically he has to prove he is legitimate.
And he won't. The house is packed with alcohol for a reason. To cause drama. Heavyweights run their mouths before alcohol. There will be a fight in the house. If Kimbo even makes it to the first fight(which he will be in because they will all want to fight him), he will lose. He has no work ethic in front of a camera. And those are Bas Rutten's words, not mine. He said Kimbo worked hard until he got a glimpse of real fame, not that internet celebrity crap.
Kimbo got knocked out by a stand in fighter. The fight before that got called in his favor after he landed a few hard shots. He was getting his ass kicked and was nowhere near knocking Thompson out.
Kimbo is a joke. He is not Brock Lesnar. By that I mean a "celebrity" turned MMA fighter. In the out of this world chance that Kimbo wins TUF he will get destroyed by Brock Lesnar or get a few bones broken by Frank Mir. Hell, I bet a handful of light heavyweights could take him out.
