"I think the UFC made a huge mistake. Once again Dana's ego has gotten in the way. I think Kimbo Slice could be a draw wherever he goes around the world. I think they matched him up wrong. I would have put him in against just stand-up fighters. I would have built to a pay-per-view with James Toney. My way of doing business is obviously different than Dana's and the UFC. I don't knock them -- they got a great product and make a ton of money so God bless them, but I sure wouldn't have promoted Kimbo Slice like they did and I hope Kimbo comes around and gets in a boxing ring with me."
Empasis mine on the bolded. You think Gary? The UFC did put him in there with stand up fighters!! Houston Alexander nor Matt Mitrione have any semblance of a ground game. In fact, it was Kimbo Slice that was going for the take downs against Mitrione! See, this is exactly why I'm glad that Gary Shaw isn't involved in MMA anymore. I think the UFC used Slice brillantly. Hell, they used him to carry an ENTIRE season of The Ultimate Fighter. Also, why Gary Shaw thinks he can turn Kimbo into some boxing legend is beyond me. He would get destroyed against any mediocre boxer and I got mad love for Kimbo. Facts are fact though.
