EliteXC heavyweight Ricco Rodriguez is preparing for his fight with future stud Antonio Silva. During his preparation he mentioned that his future will not include fighting Kimbo Slice.
“Kimbo Slice is a tomato can to me, and he’ll always be a tomato can to me,” Rodriguez said. “The reality is, what has he done to prove himself? He hasn’t fought anybody. So, to me, he’s nobody."
This is the part where I figured Rodriguez officially lost his mind. It's not enough that he was just on Celebrity Rehab, but apparently he didn't learn anything from the show.
The reality is, Rodriguez isn't completely wrong with his depiction of Kimbo Slice but would you really want to piss off a guy that looked like him?
Tank Abbott is set to find out if Kimbo Slice has defined his skills but Rodriguez feels 'Slice' is completely below his level.
“There’s so many other athletes out there that have better skill,” Rodriguez said. “There are other top contenders right now. Kimbo Slice to me is just a clown… He’s a dancing monkey."
Rodriguez felt that many other fighters would present 'Slice' with problems as well.
“You put him against a guy like Ken Shamrock, Ken’s going to run right through the guy,” Rodriguez said. “He beat up Ray Mercer. Ray Mercer never wrestled a day in his life."
Has Rodriguez completely lost his mind or is Kimbo Slice really on the chopping block as far as competition goes? The MMA world is looking for characters and maybe Rodriguez feels that Kimbo is more attention getting than skilled. Either way, he has no plans for Kimbo in his future. That could be a talent issue, or he's scared and is trying to convince himself that they don't belong in the ring together.

Kimbo Slice is a joke and has no business competing in MMA. Actually, I'd like to see him fight in the UFC. This way some heavyweight with mediocore skills can knock his big fat head back into reality. He's a street brawler. Far from a well conditioned, highly trained, well rounded MMA fighter. I hope that someone punches his big fat head back into reality.
According to Bas Rutten, Slice is developing into a well rounded fighter. I'll believe it when i see it though. He's gonna walk through tank abbott but in the UFC he's a mid carder at best. Then again, i wouldn't mess with him. But i'm a bowler.
I would suggest that you could actually throw the bowling ball at Kimbos head but I believe that big melon would shatter a 16lb ball!
