Jim Ross Blogs on Kimbo Slice’s Death and Brock Lesnar Opening as the UFC 200 Betting Underdog

Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com and below is what Ross had to say about the passing of Kimbo Slice, and Brock Lesnar’s betting odds at UFC 200:

“Sorry to hear of the passing of Kimbo Slice who was once a guest on The Ross Report to promote his fight again Dada 5000. Kimbo was a legit character from the street and was very believable when he spoke as he was not working from a script but instead from his heart and with his natural instincts standing out. RIPKevinFerguson.”

“Lesnar opening as the betting underdog which is no surprise to me considering his MMA dormancy the past few years. Plus, the one thing that Mark Hunt does SO well is that he’s a knockout puncher of note and the fact that Brock’s apparent biggest weakness is his striking defense.”
