Frank Mir, one of the four heavyweights vying to become the UFC Undisputed
World Heavyweight Champion, blasted Kimbo Slice during an interview about UFC's
image.
Mir told FIVE OUNCES OF PAIN that he feels Kimbo drags
down the image of the entire sport of Mixed Martial Arts.
"Let's face it, the public's perception of MMA is not exactly fantastic,"
Mir stated, "Every time guys like Tank Abbot or Krazy Horse (Charles Bennett)
fought or even now with Kimbo Slice; every time Kimbo fights it sets the sport
back. Guys like that just reinforce the idea in the public's eye that we are all
blood thirsty barbarians who just want to pummel each other and that there is no
skill required. Guys like them do the sport a disservice."
