Not too surprising considering Kimbo is from Miami.
That is better than their news ratings. Maybe 4 should drop news and run MMA fights. Or maybe 4 should dump their anchor team and make Kimbo Slice the main anchor.

yes I would. didn’t they already dump some news shows for better rated talk shows?
