That is good for the Pitbull, and he seems to be back to his old aggressive self.  Let's see if he can make it out of the 1st round with Fedor. 

As for Kimbo, what a mother fucking joke.  The guy got dispatched by a gay TUF reject in 14 seconds and he got a half million for it?  I'm so glad that over hyped street thug's 15 minutes are up.  Once he blows through his cash on diamond crusted teeth & gold plated dildos, he'll be back to scratching lottery tickets by a dumpster in no time.

It sounds like your supplement company tried to sponsor Kimbo and he said NO so you have it out for him.  Can't you just say well I guess our products weren't good enough for him and let it go.

I thought you repped for one or worked at one.  If not then whatever company you work for.

I own a consulting firm and work with dozens of supplement companies. I assure you, NONE of them would want their brands associated with that mongrel.
