Well, first off, that is indeed an old fight. That said, I think I tend to agree with most people that Kimbo does not really have any chance at making it in MMA. He is obviously pretty decent at stand up, but beyond that I have a feeling that he is not very experienced. Add to that the fact that the only reason that he is good at the stand up game is because he has a strong chin and the fact that he is indeed a beast. So I'll give him a punchers chance in this fight, but beyond that he probably doesn't stand much of a chance (look what Couture did to Sylvia or what happened to Cabbage Carrera). I'm not counting on this guy making it too far in the sport. Surely he is mostly on this card to attract viewers rather than to actually make waves in the MMA world. Like someone else already said, a few strong leg kicks will be all it will take to take the wind right out of his sails. Or, his opponent could choose to make Kimbo chase him around the ring for a round or two before taking him down (which is what happended in the fight that he had with the Russian). Either way, a smart fighter with a good game plan should have no problem getting rid of Kimbo.
