Ten TUF Thoughts: Episode Two

Columns

1. I see Kimbo Slice as many things…a fighter, scary man, philosopher. But the most obvious? SPONGE! Okay, perhaps not the most obvious, though his beard has to have amazing sponge-like qualities.

2. Rashad…Roy Nelson doesn’t listen to you when he is on the ground, because he knows he would own you on the ground. Or even more likely, he’s thinking about beer.

3. Roy Nelson was probably voted least most likely to be an MMA fighter in his high school yearbook. Surprisingly, I was too. The difference is that I didn’t let my peers down.

4. Rampage picks James McSweeney from Team Rashad to win…uh…I mean beat up…uh…fight Wes Shivers.

5. Ghetto blast is the best term ever used for a fart. Thanks Rampage!

And now for an Inside Fights original play production:

Kimbo Slice: I threw up in the cage today.

Wes Shivers: Why? Exhausted from over training?

Kimbo Slice: No, Rampage dropped a Ghetto Bomb.

6. Wes Shivers seems like a nice enough guy. A nice guy who is big enough to crush your head between his hands as if it were a marshmellow. But after watching the fight, I realized that he would probably be too gassed from opening the marshmellow bag to do anything else.

7. Wow. McSweeney just tried some type of flying karate kick thingee in the first round. And then he tried a second one. He thinks he is Bruce Lee. Sadly, he is not.

8. Has anyone ever looked more tired in the cage than Wes Shivers? Has anyone looked more tired after anything than Wes Shivers?

9. Cliche, cliche, you know what I’m saying, cliche, you know what I’m saying, cliche, you know what I’m saying? Great speech, Rampage!

10. Roy Nelson vs Kimbo Slice. I can’t say I saw that one coming. Next week’s TUF episode will be the highest rated ever!
