Jeff Monson Calls Out Kimbo

[Mark Kerr]

At the end of the day, Kimbo is doing a hell lot better than he used to back in the backyard days. 

But, he will never be a top class MMA fighter.

Not really at least back then he was knocking dudes out and actually looked like a brawler, but now he has been exposed to look what looks like a tomato can...

I think he can live with that. He's rich. How much you think he earned fighting "Rasta Man" in a parking lot

I don't think he's making that much money. A lot of people are getting a cut of his fight money.

I bet he's making more than he ever have.

From what I have heard him say and other sources, to fight him in the backyard you had to have 10,000 to put up... If that is true, then I bet he is making close to what he was back then..

Back then no one could take a cut of his money, he was bodyguarding for the porn company and he wasn't having to train all day long because he was fighting cans.. now he is fighting pro cans and taking punches and people are taking some of that purse.. So really and truly I think he might have been better off sticking to the backyard. That and at least back then people thought he was a decent fighter.. NOW HE HAS BEEN EXPOSED and is the #1 most hated dude in MMA. I don't think that I have ever seen anyone be called out more then Kimbo and by such a huge mix of fighters.


Bluto do you ever have anything worth while to contribute?

Kimbo got paid $175,000 in his 2nd fight. That's not including sponsorships.

And I doubt he took a paycut for his third fight, EliteXC: Primetime, the most-watched MMA event in history.

Being 3-0 he'll have more fights.

Only a total moron would think he's making close to what he was back when he fought in parking lots and backyards.

I think it was a $100,000. Still, after the porn company took their cut, and Bas Ruttun and the rest of his trainers took their piece of the pie, I'm sure that didn't leave Kimbo with much.

He got $125,000 to show, $50,000 to win.

Even Tank got more than $100,000 he got $126,000.

And that's for ONE fight.

Yeah I'm sure Kimbo's planning to retire and return to fighting "Rasta Man" in the parking lot because the payout is much better.

The Kimbo hype is over. By the way, he didn't win he last fight.

I bet he got paid a win bonus though.

kimbo is a bum

Problem is he won't be getting that paid much longer. Couple of times at that pay is great, but his future has been cut short.

[Ruffneck]

Kimbo might be a bum but hes the most talked about tomato can kicking bum in all of MMA right now which means $$$$$$$$ and thats why everyone is jumpin on the Kimbo hate bandwagon because they know whoever he fights means money.

I personally say good luck to the daft fucker, despite the fact he got his ass anded to him lastfight. Its got to the point where hes the luckiest fucker around at the moment, hell hes that lucky he could catch AIDS today and they would find a cure by lunchtime.

Elite XC responds to Monson.

"Monson needs some wins before he fights Kimbo."

This organization is a joke.

Doing his best Brett Rogers impersonation, Jeff Monson recently released a video calling out Kimbo Slice. Monson decided to go the video route because as he put it, "I know the (explitive) doesn't read."

During the video tirade, Monson called on EliteXC President Gary Shaw to make the match up between he and Kimbo; today the younger Shaw, EliteXC Vice President and matchmaker Jared Shaw responds:

"Get some wins and then maybe we'll put him in line down the road to face Kimbo," said Shaw to Fightline.com. "If we fought every person that's called out Kimbo or that wants to fight Kimbo we'd be fighting everybody from a 3rd grader in Duluth to a 65 year old in Boca Raton. So take a number, get in line and get some wins; then we'll talk."

It seems that Monson, who is 2-3 in his past five fights, was trying to follow the trail blazed by Brett Rogers who successfully lobbied to face Kimbo through insulting him personally at a post fight press conference and posting an open letter, further attempting to humiliate Kimbo.

The move paid off for Rogers as the undefeated prospect is now set to face Kimbo on the third CBS show, tentatively scheduled for this October. Other strong possibilities for that show include a rematch between KJ Noons and Nick Diaz should Diaz make it past ground specialist Thomas Denny on Jul

The Don Gary Shaw is a complete fucking joke

[americanbulldog]

Monson is legit, with serious wrestling and jits skills.  Unfortunately, he is too big (read short) to fight successfully at Heavy.  He is doing a sub grappling tourney here in Hawaii this weekend (OTM) against a Kekumu Cambra (Black belt under Egan Inoue).  I am looking forward to seeing it.  If rumors are correct, Sergei will destroy the Kimbo myth, anyway.

One clip in that Monson video he is choking out the guy that sent Sean Gannon to the hospital for a week (Brandon Lee Hinkle or something)...and Sean Gannon beat kimbo

The reason everybody wants to fight him is because they feel they can beat him! How many guys are talkin' shit about fighting Anderson Silva or Rampage or Tyson in his day?  Not one!  He's a bum and everybody from a 3rd grader to grandpa see's enough flaws in his game to think they have a chance.  This guy Shaw is a fool for making a response like that!  Idiot!!!

[shootfighter1]

Kimbo is very lucky he is making the big bucks right now....all off his internet fights with local tough guys.
He has a good punch and can take a shot but other than that he is a lower tiered pro MMA fighter.
Everyone wants him because he has a big name with less than average skill (even though he is working with great trainers).
Monson would be a nightmare matchup for Kimbo.  Monson is an extremely good grappler and thats Kimbo's major weakness.

monson vs kimbo bare knuckles back yard old skool.........now yer talking

After the fight they can sit down and talk politics
