Doubt it. More power to him if he does succeed, and he has a strong will to learn mma, but that fight was pure domination. This is MMA, not 'fighting', if you can't fight on the ground you will be taken down and beaten. You can't learn ground game in 2 weeks, most of these guys have very little MMA experience. IF he were to make it to the UFC he would be pulverized because those guys do this for a living and have been fighting and training for years in MMA. Like Nelson said, if he couldn't take him on the stand up he would take him down, and that's what he did and effortlessly won the match.
I agree that Kimbo's ground game is zilch, nada, nothing. He looked like a wet fish on the ground - except that a wet fish flops around more. He's got a long road ahead of him if he wants into the UFC.

I wouldn't say Kimbo "whooped" him standing up, he didn't throw or land many punches, and the ones he did land didn't do much. Tonight is another example of professional fighting vs street fighting, mma vs back yard brawl, etc. If you can't fight on the ground someone will beat you on the ground.

Let me fall on him for a take down, pen his right arm, put my belly in his face, and continously hit him with pillow punches till the ref calls it cause he cant defend himself. I cant wait to see fat boy roy get rocked by someone that has take down defense and can kick that open belly.

Yeah, that was embarrassing. A lot of dancing around, and then the fatass shoots, takes Kimbo down, lays on him, and lands those sissy punches. Perhaps the ref stopped the fight so Kimbo wouldn't suffocate to death?

kimbo landed some damn good punches, why do you think roy took the fight to the ground. he even said if i think im winning in the stand up then ima keep it standing. if i feel im losing then i will take it to the ground. and he took it to the ground both rounds. he got caught with some nice punches

lol it was stopped because Slice couldn't defend himself, a TKO. I know your probably joking but a lot of people are whining that big bad *** Kimbo Slice was dominated by Roy Nelson because he's better at MMA than Slice.
lol, I guess I expect 'damn good' Kimbo Slice punches to at least rock his opponent. Nelson fought with his brain, he didn't want to catch a punch that could knock him out or get him knocked out. That's MMA, you exploit your enemy's weakness, you don't let your enemy choose the battle ground, lol. Kimbo could have gotten lucky and knocked him out with 1 hit..Why would anyone want to stand and bang with Kimbo when his ground game is non existent, it's foolish.

I'm with you. Some of these guys have no conditioning, especially the fight before the Kimbo vs. Roy fight. Those two guys looked like they were going to die. Hell, I could of knocked them out at the end of those two rounds.

the show is slowly becoming a soap opera, next week highlight is big marcus not being able to fight, so kimbo gets to stand in for him, what about the other fighters? not interested, because 95% are watching for kimbo...make that money

I kinda agree. But hey drama sells, in the end more then 1 guy off the show gets a contract. I be willing to bet even if Kimbo doesn't get back in or win if he does, he will still get a contract..
