No one ever claimed Kimbo owned the sport. The fact is that the image he brings to the sport is bad for the long term legitimization of MMA. Fyi, example, MMA was BANNED in California until recently.
MMA needs real role model athletes, not some coke junkie who worked for porn peddling smut dealers. NOTE: a) Kimbo admitted fighting his "street" fights while using coke b) the company he "worked" for was a huge owner of porn sites and "young underage" girl sites
