Kimbo Slice: 'I Love the City of Japan'

— mma.fanhouse.com — K-1 signed Kimbo as a TV announcer, but verbal gaffes like that serve as a reminder that... he was not hired because K-1 actually wants him to work as a commentator. He was hired because K-1 wants him as a fighter. (more) Kimbo Slice: 'I Love the City of Japan'

Kimbo Slice: 'I Love the City of Japan'
FanHouse — by Michael David Smith Filed under: EliteXC, MMA Videos, K1Kimbo Slice made his debut as a TV announcer on Saturday, working on the English language feed of the K-1 broadcast from Japan. Here's his inauspicious start: He began by saying, "First of all, I love the city of Japan," and it didn't get much better from there. I post this not to make fun of Kimbo (OK, maybe a little), but to make a point about Kimbo's contractual status with K-1 and EliteXC. Kimbo Slice: 'I Love the City of Japan' originally appeared on Fanhouse ...

Great Moments in MMA Broadcasting: Kimbo in the Town of the Rising Sun
CagePotato.com — (Props: MMA Mania) LOFL, people. Here's video proof of the verbal gaffe made by Kimbo Slice immediately after he was introduced as a guest-commentator at last weekend's K-1 World GP. It also gives you a sense of how overbearingly annoying Michael Schiavello is. Imagine being Mike Kogan (the other bald, goateed guy), sandwiched in the middle of these two doofs for like four hours. I have a feeling this isn't what he had in mind when he entered broadcasting school. After the jump: Mike Swick hangs out in a Thai ...

Kimbo Slice Has Bad Start As A K-1 Announcer
FanIQ Blog — Now that EliteXC has folded, I'm sure most of you are wondering what Kimbo Slice is up to. And by "most of you" I mean "four of you." Anyway, Slice has recently taken a gig as an announcer for the K-1 fighting league over in Japan. Kimbo made his announcing debut this weekend, and let's just say it didn't go real well. Rule #1 of being an announcer: Learn that the country you're annoucing in is in fact a country, and not a city. Apparently the interview only went downhill from there, which is hard to imagine, yet I can totally see happening. ...

Kimbo : MMA’s Answer To Eric Dickerson?
Can't Stop The Bleeding — Perhaps this wasn’t the best way to begin a grass roots campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, but there’s something to be said for maintaining one’s visibility (video link taken from FanIQ)

Kimbo Slice shows us why he needs a career in fighting
Cage Writer — At a K-1 event this weekend, Kimbo Slice told us how much he loves the city of Japan: Since cartography is clearly not in his career path, signing on to fight somewhere is a good idea for Kimbo. Thanks, Sporting Blog.

Kimbo Slice Thinks Japan is a City - Video
Dejuiced! Sports News with No Boundaries — Kimbo Slice, a street fighter turned mixed martial arts fighter, apparently didn’t major in geography. In the interview in the Kimbo Slice video at the end of this entry, he talks about the city of Japan. As you hopefully know, Japan is a country and not a city. While this was a glaring mistake, I’m sure nobody is going to heckle Kimbo Slice too much about it. If you’ve ever seen him fight, whether on YouTube or in a professional match, you know this is one guy not to mess with. If he walks up to your face and tells you that you were born in the city of Japan, the best move would just be to nod your head and run away. ...

Kimbo Slice: Man of Many Talents?
MMA Madhouse — Kimbo Slice: Man of Many Talents? After making backyard fights famous on YouTube Kimbo tried the professional fight game. Sometime soon we hope to see him back in the ring, cage, yard, wherever he’s going to knock someone out. Unless of course, it’s the superstar himself - Seth Petruzelli, that guy’s just way too tough for Kimbo Slice right now. So after the fight scene (not that his career is over or anything), Kimbo went ‘Hollywood’.  Well, Nickelodeon - it’s the same thing right? Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson played the role of Bludge in Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh: Best Christmas Ever”.  Bludge is a menacing con who befriends Drake and ...

Kimbo: ‘I love the city of Japan’
The SAV SCI MMA blog — Michael David Smith at AOL Fanhouse tracked down some of Kimbo Slice’s commentary during the K-1 World GP Final English broadcast. Kimbo was better at the commentary when he had a fight to talk about and didn’t have to carry the broadcast by himself. His opening line: ‘I love the city of Japan’ was reminicent of Karl Malone’s famous quip when he first met the media after being drafted by the Utah Jazz. ‘The Mailman’ said that he was happy to be in the ‘great city of Utah’. To which then Jazz GM Frank Layden responded “son, its a state.”

Kimbo Slice Makes His Announcing Debut, Is Not A Geography Buff
AwfulAnnouncing — This video is actually from a K-1 fight in Japan this past Saturday, but I just saw it over at TSB today. Here is Kimbo Slice telling the English announcing crew that he absolutely just loooooves the city of Japan. Wait, what? I mean...I'm not giving him a pass here, but at least he didn't call it "The Japan". Right? Kimbo Slice's Favorite City Is Japan, Favorite Ocean Likely the Mediterranean (The Sporting Blog)
