If he can check his ego long enough to actually learn the skills the coaches have to teach, he might actually get somewhere. But against some other hungry, skilled up-and-comers? We'll see.

I never got an egotistical vibe from Kimbo. Read an article about him in ESPN magazine when EliteXC first picked him up, and he seemed like a decent guy. He's game, but he really needs to take the training seriously.

The training is really the part I was meaning. He does seem like a pretty good guy irl, but when it comes to training I've seen a couple of articles that imply he doesn't feel he really needs to do the work and learn the skills to succeed in the ring.

Are they going to let him bring his porn hustling entourage to TUF with him?

I never got that impression.......Bas Rutten said he worked hard and had a good work ethic........but he's actually getting kind of old for this sport. He's at the age now where a fighter is at their peak, and he's trying to start out at the bottom. He's 35 years old. The REAL question is how much longevity does he really have?
