Why is Dan Wetzel, Yahoo sports writer, such an ignorant racist slob?
http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=dw-kimbo1005...
No one ever said Kimbo was the baddest man on the planet. He is a unique character in mixed martial arts, which is a great form of entertainment. Dan is such a jerk for writing this column. What are your thoughts on this defamation of Kimbo Slice? I mean, you can count his pro fights on one hand, and he has at least fought men with more experience than he. Just because he can sell tickets shouldn't mean you have to send him right away to fight a top 10 competitor. I hope Kimbo comes back and gets a few more wins. The jealousy of this guy is completely outrageous. It makes no sense for a journalist to be allowed to act so childish towards someone who just wants to fight to support his family, and takes advantage of the popularity he built up himself.

Dan Wetzel is a cartoonist writer for YAHOO! wanna be sports.
UFC is a PAID contributor to YAHOO! Therefore all of the so-called writers for YAHOO! wanna be sports don't write anything positive for anyother MMA promotions/ organizations unless it is affliated with the UFC.
Check out the ufc web page and you'll see advertisements for YAHOO!
Therefore YAHOO! cannot be trusted in providing honest, and unbaised MMA related information.
If you would like to read some meaningfull and interesting articles I suggest checking out foxsports, or cbssportsline, or espn..
But nothing from YAHOO! wanna be sports
Chris Leben pissess on another humanbeings bedding and clothes, loses twice in the same season of the ultimate fighter, and still is given a UFC contract....
While Jesse Taylor gets kicked off the show?
And Wetzel tries to talk trash about Kimbo? LOL
And Bobby Southfork, who was the an MMA Champion (until an injury forced him to vacant the belt was not given a UFC contract)
UFC sucks, and Yahoo! wanna be sports has lost my respect along time ago.
They try to make Kimbo out to be some 20 year vetern of MMA with black belts in Muay Thai, and BJJ
Kimbo has only been involved in the MMA in what 2 years?
And Kimbo who shares a very similar fighting style with Tank Abbott never received so much negative criticism.
YAHOO! sports just looks bad for allowing those articles to be printed

I just read that article and I would agree with you so much bias in his article. I think he is a UFC nuthugger. But i do give dan wetzel credit he is right when he calls him a farce. He should have earned his keep first before getting the fame like all the other men before him.

The problem is he didn't fight a top 10 contender.seth hasn't even fought in a year.The other thing is all his other opponets are washed up.(Tank Abbott).This guy is not a Mixed Martial Artist.He is a street fighter.Not to take away from the skills he does have he is a very hard hitter.But to me MMA is based on a lot more than that.And if you are put on the mat you shouls be able to defend yourself from that spot.Kimbo was not knocked out when he fell to the mat it was after that when he became defenseless.

That article was very well deserved.
If you are going around headlining events and walking around with the tag of being on of the best and the Mike Tyson of MMA as Elite XC would have you believe, you deserve all the hate coming to you.
What about all the deserving fighters who spent years slaving in the gyms not having the money to feed their families and are a few million times more talented than this farce of a fighter? Why don't they get the coverage and the money? Screw Kimbo and his supporters. I hope he never shows his face in an MMA event again.

Maybe it is because of how he got his fame on you tube beating up bums. Being able to knock a bum out doesn't make you a great fighter. Personally that is about as low as you can get, and probably how Dan feels too.

Kimbo is a joke in the real world of MMA. EliteXC used him to hype their company. Set him up against people he could beat. Kimbo was part of the farce, so he deserves to be considered a joke.
