Lastly he fought Tank Abott who at this point in his career is 9-14, and seeing how in his last 9 fights, he's only been able to obtain 1 win, I wouldn't say Kimbo has fought the best competition around.


Not bashing Kevin ( Kimbo ) in any sort of the way, but if you put him in there with a guy like Frank Mir, or Tim Sylivia for that matter he would get schooled. That's why I don't understand why people are saying he's the best fighter in the world, because he's not. I'm sure Kimbo himself would even tell you that.


All of luck to Kimbo and his future in mma, it sure looks bright, if he keeps his training up, and doesn't get "champions" disease.
I'm with ya on this one.
