Kimbo Slice, an online celebrity because of his bare-knuckle street fight videos, recently submitted Ray Mercer via a guillotine choke in his MMA debut at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 5. This was also Ray Mercer’s MMA debut, a former heavyweight boxing champion. It seems like everywhere you look there’s something new and exciting going on in the MMA world. Kimbo and MMA, at the very least, will be an entertaining relationship. It’s sure going to be interesting to see how he’ll fare against the rest of the heavyweight MMA world.
For those of you who don’t know who Kimbo is, check out the video below (viewer discretion is advised) or a recent interview with Touchgloves.com:

2I think Kimbo is going to be great for the MMA world, hopefully more street fighers will start jumping in. Kimbo has some pretty respectable training videos on youtube, he could definitely cause some disruption…
The debut was indeed garbage against Mercer, a weak opponent, but you have to like his attempts at throwing knees and the choke out.
