End of week-in-review

Wow, what a week.

First, just when you thought that Kimbo Slice was done for after his humiliating loss to TUF eliminated hopeful Seth Petruzzelli, he keeps storming back. Earlier this week it was announced that he would be appearing on the 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter."

What. The. Crap.

I have mixed feelings about this one. While it would be interesting to see how Kimbo would fare training with either Evans or Jackson, it is kind of sad that there are only 16 fighters appearing this season. Hmmmm...I WONDER WHY? Looks like Dana White will be milking Kimbo for all he can. Considering the harsh words Dana had for Kimbo, and the fact that on previous seasons fighters have to fight to get into the show, it does not surprise me that this happened. With Kimbo added to the already combustible situation between Evans and Jackson, this should make for an interesting season.

Speaking of Evans, a special props goes out to THE NEW CHAMP Lyoto Machida for humbling Evans at UFC 98. Well deserved.

If that wasn't big enough, this week the world lost a legend (known by some). David Carradine was found dead in Bangkok earlier this week. He was best known for his starring role in the 1970's TV series Kung Fu, the syndicated 1990's series Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, and as the titular character in Kill Bill. Early speculations of the cause of death suggested suicide, but now there are reports surfacing that his death may have been accidental. I was actually a big fan of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues when I was younger, and enjoyed him in Kill Bill. Rest in peace, Kwai Chang Caine.

Coming soon will be my picks for next week's UFC 99 PPV, and also potentially a run-down/review of this weekend's MMA expo.
