As I said numerous times Dana white put Kimbo on TUF so he could renig all the shit he said about him not being an MMA fighter and that BJ Penn would make him tap in under 2 minutes, etc.. I ubderstand why he said it cause Kimbo was pretty much carrying EliteXC and really was a back ally fighter, which is the image White and the Fertittas have spent the better part of the last decade to remove as the draw of MMA.. When SEG owned it, they promoted "NO HOLDS BARRED" type of promotion but Dana made it into a legit sport.. Kimbo being shown on national tv as the poster boy for MMA, on a channel that can def have better rating than Spike pissed Dana off.. Since EliteXC folded, White took the oppertunity to give Kimbo a "chance" to get in the UFC all the while knowing he'd be on UFC cards reguardless how he does on the show..
