Kimbo Slice Struggles Against Matt Mittrione

With his biggest opportunity to take a step up in the UFC heavyweight division Kimbo Slice was unable to take out Matt Mittrione. He showed great courage and heart in surviving two submission attempts and a furious ground and pound. He also displayed some huge power bombs against a guy much bigger than him that got the crowd excited. However, he didn't have the technical ability to defeat Matt Mittrione who eventually got the referee stoppage in the fight. It's a real shame since Kimbo was training with the best team out there at AKA and is phenomenally popular. He's the most popular MMA fighter in the world but lacks the technical grounding in the sport to be a top tier guy. If he had started earlier in his career I think he would have been a real contender at 205. It's too late now for him to cut to that weight so he sticks to being a lighter heavyweight.
