“That’s probably Kimbo’s last fight in the UFC,” White said of the bout, in which the bigger, stronger Mitrione pounded Kimbo on the ground and beat him easily.
Against Mitrione he was overpowered by a strong man and appeared to be in bad shape and was breathing heavily. Kimbo drew solid ratings when fighting on CBS, and was a major asset to the UFC’s Ultimate Fighter reality show. As his MMA career continued, however, Kimbo has been exposed as a guy who just isn’t a very good MMA fighter. Fans are catching on that Kimbo’s MMA skill doesn’t match his mystique, and that means the UFC has no more use for him.
“He’s done,” White said. “We’re probably going to cut him.”
