It's getting harder and harder to talk about Kimbo Slice, though it's not from a lack of trying. It seems like everybody has an opinion on the Internet-brawler-turned-pro-fighter. Either he's the worst thing to happen to the sport of mixed martial arts, or he's the next big superstar.

Hardcore Championship Fighting is officially out of business, CEO Keith Crawford has informed Sherdog.com. The news comes after a period of great optimism for the Canadian organization.
