Well, that was…special. In between being stuck in crucifixes, Kimbo Slice gave Roy Nelson a taste of Miami BBQ. Unfortunately, a couple of menacing strikes does not a win make, and Nelson took advantage of a serious mismatch on the floor in route to a stoppage victory.
And with a loss to the season’s odds-on favorite, we’re immediately left guessing if Kimbo will end up back in the competition. Ex-NFL’er Marcus Jones has already been shown dealing with various ailments. Will he end up as Kimbo Slice’s golden ticket? (Does that make Dana White some bald headed, Bostonized Willy Wonka?)
In bigger picture news, Team Rashad has jumped out to a 3-0 start to the season. Quinton Jackson’s wanton drafting and irrational matchmaking has already come back to bite him in the ass. When will Team Baracus get their first win? Will Kimbo ultimately redeem himself? Did Greg Jackson go back to Dagobah during the show’s taping?
