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.

But you say that as if it would be legit to give Kimbo a top fight when he had no professional fights at all.
Get real!
He is only going to get these shit fights until he builds a record in the game.
If you were the champ would you take a title fight with someone off the street before they built a rep in the game that would make a huge payday?
There is no "marketing" in you analysis.
