This guy will be on the next cover of ESPN. He should be fighting real fighters with this kind of publicity.
This makes MMA look bad.

EliteXC heavyweight Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson will grace the cover of ESPN The Magazine next month to coincide with the organization's May 31 network television debut.
Ferguson, who faces James Thompson in the main event of EliteXC's debut "Saturday Night Fights" event on CBS, will become only the second mixed-martial-arts fighter to appear on the magazine's cover.
Then-UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell, who was featured on the May 7, 2007 cover, was the first.
Ferguson owns just a 2-0 career record, but his former profession as an underground street fighter who found stardom on YouTube and other video-sharing sites propelled him to instant fame in MMA. After a quick victory over (then) 46-year-old former boxer Ray Mercer in an exhibition bout, Ferguson accepted an offer from Gary Shaw and signed a contract with EliteXC in October 2007.
Ferguson has since posted two quick victories -- a 19-second stoppage of Bo Cantrell and a 43-second knockout of David "Tank" Abbott -- and recently signed a contract extension with the organization.
On May 31, he headlines "EliteXC: PRIMETIME," the first-ever MMA event to air live on major U.S. network television. The event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
The photo shoot for the magazine cover took place this past Thursday in Thousand Oaks, Calif. A behind-the-scenes video of the shoot can be found above.

Great news! :D

what do you expect?
Look at the way mma was marketed in the USA. If it was Japan it would have been totally different.

Great. The new face of MMA is an unskilled ape who's only popular because he's big, black and ugly. ::)

Deep inside your hearts, you all know that Kimbo would embarrass Fedor. Have you seen his backyard fights?

Yemeni still trying to milk that shitty "let's piss off the Fedor fans by saying something idiotic" tactic. How entertaining. ::)

Yes, he beat up few overweight negros and a white dude with imaginary lat syndrome. Then, in his basement fight, he got his ass whooped by Gannon despite the fact that the rules were for his advantage AND were broken to his advantage during the fight. And Gannon was completely lard ass at the time and got his ass kicked in his first and only UFC fight.
The only way Kimbo would embarrass Fedor is by crapping his pants.
