Machogear: Kimbo Slice Is The New Milk

If you’re looking for any last minute gift ideas, why not bless your loved ones with a T-shirt designed to remind them of EliteXC’s favorite mistake?
In the Amazon store of clothing company 99 Volts you can pick up this stylish shirt, announcing to the world that you, indeed, have got Kimbo Slice, irregardless of his stunning October defeat and the career limbo he currently maintains.
Maybe we’re too hard on the big man. One of the most respected MMA fighters ever, bas Rutten, thinks Slice still has what it takes to have a solid career in the sport, despite his 16-second loss to Seth Petruzelli on national television. He made it clear on the most recent episode of HDnet’s Inside MMA program.

A segment of the show included a question from a viewer asking Rutten to name the best fighters he’s trained. Rutten mentioned several, including Kimbo, whom he has consistently praised for his natural ability as a striker and his hard work and dedication to improving his craft.

“I think Kimbo’s striking really came together,” Rutten said. “His boxing got better and better.”

Of course, any time anyone says anything positive about Kimbo, the question remains: So why couldn’t he last even 15 seconds with Seth Petruzelli?

Rutten’s answer: “There’s always a chance that you get hit. That doesn’t say anything about his techniques.”

So, if Rutten’s on your Christmas list you just found him the perfect gift, since it’s crystal clear that he’s got Kimbo fever. Sadly, we don’t know of any prescription to cure that.
