For those who may not know, Frank Trigg is a Mixed Martial-Arts (MMA) fighter. He was fairly relevant in Pride, but hasn't done much, except lose, in the UFC.

I was just watching some Best of Pride on Spike, with Trigg as a commentator.

Two guys are fighting in the ring, and one inadvertently kicks the other in the balls. The fighter who did the kicking immediately stops the action instead of letting the ref stop it. He apologizes and acknowledges his mistake.

Trigg, as the commentator, points out the outstanding sportsmanship displayed, saying something to the effect "because that's what professional fighters do."

Fast forward a couple years to Trigg's second bout vs Matt Hughes. Sometime during the first round, I believe, Trigg kicks Hughes in the balls. Trigg doesn't even hesitate, even though Hughes clearly indicates he was kicked in the balls. The ref didn't see it, so doesn't stop the action. Trigg takes advantage of the low blow and nearly finishes Hughes. But Hughes manages to survive and goes on to beat Trigg for a second time.

So, we can surmise two things from this:

1) Trigg is not an honorable fighter.
2) Trigg is not a professional fighter.

If he disagrees with either of the above, then he is a hypocrite.

So, Dana White, President of the UFC, says Kimbo Slice can only get into the UFC if he goes through the Ultimate Fighter show. Why? did Brock Lesnar have to go through the show? Lesnar didn't even have an MMA record, and his first fight was with a former champion, Frank Mir.

What's different about Kimbo that he has to go through the show? He has professional fights, just like the guys in Pride and the WEC. Can someone explain this to me?
