Re: Kimbo Slice a TUF 10 contestant
Comparing Kimbo Slice to Brock Lesnar is like comparing the New England Patriots to the Detroit Lions.
Lesnar was 33-0 in his senior year at South Dakota high school, from there he came second, in 2000 he became NCAA National Champion.
Brock's record in college stood at 106-5, and Shelton Benjamin was his assistant coach - (he also roomed with him)
So Lesnar has an excellent wrestling background which IMO is the most important style to grasp before entering MMA, granted his WWE career was short and yes he has openly admitted to using steroids, nevertheless he is a beast.
Slice on the other hand has no wrestling background, he used to be a bouncer for a strip club, had tryouts for the Miami Dolphins and reportedly has completed a 10 year stretch in prison.
His one and only loss came against Seth Petruzelli, where Slice was scheduled to fight Ken Shamrock - it took Petruzelli 14 seconds to knock out the street fighter.
