Michael Jai White discussed the career of the late Kimbo Slice and why he believes he didn't have a successful run in the UFC. White compared professional fighting to street fighting, stating there's a significant difference in skill and technique. He explained that many street fighters aren't knowledgeable in the fundamentals, leading to exploitable mistakes in the ring. White also commented on the emotional aspect of fighting, drawing from Slice's personal experience. He mentioned that Slice used to create artificial animosity to fight his opponents, which he perceives as a big mistake because it's best not to let emotions rule in fights. He backed up his statement by highlighting similar mistakes made by other fighters when emotions overpower objective decision making. White ended the conversation indicating that while Slice was a likable person and had professional training, he wasn't equipped to fully transition his skills to professional fighting.
