K*Lovely’s Team Rampage Blog Week # 3

Well this is the episode that everyone was waiting for….Kimbo’s big fight! The episode starts off with Kimbo getting all philosophical about his life and his fighting career. The other fighters in the house are really excited about this fight as well. They showed them a couple of times sitting around discussing what a big fight this is going to be. They speak a little about Roy and how completely independent he is. His coaches feel that he is opening up and beginning to trust them.


Now once again there was a little argument between the coaches that Rashad had to start for no reason! At least according to the way it was played on the show. Keith Jardine comes in, looking cute by the way, to help coach with Team Rashad. As soon as they greet each other, Rashad starts mouthing off about how Rampages jaw is going to start hurting when he sees “KJ”. Totally uncalled for! Now I don’t know if you noticed but when Rampage & Jardine are saying their hello’s, you can see Rashad hiding out in the hallway, listening to their conversation. I think he was just salty that they were civil to each other & no shit talk ensued so he had to say some shit to Rampage. Then McSweeney had to get involved like he’s somebody. Rampage is a coach and you are there to learn. It doesn’t matter if you are on his team or not, you should show him respect. Poor coaching skills on Rashads part if he allows his team to talk to people like that. Again, if Rampage had started that entire drama people would throw a fit!

After that they move on to Kimbo’s training. Rampage wasn’t happy with some it. He wanted Kimbo to train with heavier guys on the team so he could get the practice of having to escape a mount with such a heavy opponent. During the training they show Marcus throw a little tantrum because he wants to fight next but Rampage thinks he should wait because his knee is bothering him. During Marcus’s interview he just explains basically that he is a big dork that loves to garden. After that we get to witness the love affair between Kimbo and Marcus. It’s almost cute.
For some reason they felt the need to show them weigh in for the fight. Normally I would be excited as hell to see a weigh in, but come on! I thought that was a bit much, but that is my opinion.

Roy Nelson vs Kimbo Slice
In the 1st round the guys circle around each other for a bit, but Roy is able to land some shots to the face. Kimbo started throwing some punches and was able to push Nelson back to the cage. It looked like Nelson was going to try and take Kimbo down but then he just held him against the cage. You can really see the inexperience in Kimbo because he doesn’t have a clue what to do from there. Nelson is able to get Kimbo down on the ground and passes to full mount. A little bit of scrambling and the Nelson moves to side control and traps Kimbo’s arm. Nelson then starts punching at his head. Now these aren’t the kind of punches that he should be delivering, these are like little love punches. Dana described it best when he said those were the kind of punches you get when you let your daughter hold you down and punch you.

In the start of the 2nd round both of the guys look tired. Kimbo lands a nice shot to the face and Nelson starts swinging. Nelson is able to catch Kimbo up and take him down. Roy basically gets back in the same position he was in at the end of the last round. He traps up Kimbo’s arm & the fight is stopped because Kimbo can’t defend himself from the pussy punches Roy is landing. I love what Rampage said at the end of the fight, and it was completely true. How do you get the moon off of you? Once again Team Rashad gets a pathetic win, but it is a win. My team is now down 0-3 but I will never give up hope. Let’s go boys…get it together.
