• Kimbo Slice's Path to Redemption Goes Through Reality TV

  via Wiki CommonsKimbo SliceFormer EliteXC super-hyped, superstar Kimbo Slice sunk his career and the organization after suffering a knockout in 62 seconds by an unknown. Apparently, the brawler wants his Mixed Martial Arts stardom and credibility back, and is set to do it on reality television. Slice has been announced as a cast member for the 10th season of UFC's Ultimate Fighter reality show. During Slice's brief time in the spotlight, UFC president Dana White bragged that

• Kimbo Slice Wants To Slap Bob Norman's Mouth

  Last week New Times ran a story on the 14-second fall of Kimbo Slice and the death of EliteXC, entitled "MMA's Post-Kimbo Limbo" written by Bob Norman. The same piece ran in Norman's home paper, The Broward Palm Beach New Times, with the title "Kimbo Slice's a sissy: The fight that wasn't threatens to ruin a sport that isn't," along with the accompanying cover. The 6'2, 236 lb Slice is none to happy with our Broward brethren, and wants to go mano-a-mano with Norman as a result. "I gotta co

• The Perrine Spartan

  Down south, between Pinecrest and Homestead, lies a place where boys don't run, don't cower, and certainly don't cry when it comes time to stand their ground. They call this poverty-stricken, bleak community Perrine. Here, banging fists in the street is as common as the ice cream truck coming down the block. Out of this ghetto burb comes Dhafir Harris, aka Dada 5000, a 32-year-old fight promoter who used to roll with Kimbo Slice, the Perrine native who parlayed his brutish street brawls on YouTu

• Who Hates the Marlins Stadium Deal? Not Just Norman Braman

  Michael Burnstine may be comically underfunded and critically late to the game, but he's not lacking in passion. He hates the $515 million Marlins Stadium deal. And he's not alone."It's horrendous. It's one of the worst deals I've seen in my life," Burnstine tells Riptide. The insurance salesman and Miami Chamber of Commerce official realized a couple months ago -- as the U.S. economy dropped like Kimbo Slice in that big fight -- that he couldn't sit by while Miami-Dade finalized the deal, which

• The Week That Was: A Sense of Belonging

  This was a week where people were just trying to figure out where they belong. It was an awkward thing to watch, like tweens on their first day of middle school figuring out which lunch table to sit at. Jason Taylor knew deep, deep down that his heart belonged to Miami, and he was willing to come back at whatever (super reduced) price. Charlie Crist decided that he belonged far, far away from Florida in the US Senate. He will probably get there, sorry Marco Rubio. So the only question

Let's just put it that way," Slice said. Hey, whatever. Advertising campaigns are
