      As long as they keep feeding him cans to fight he'll be famous, the first time he runs in to a legitimate MMA fighter he'll lose and lose badly.

          Until he actually gets beat, I don't see how anyone can say he couldn't stand up against a legitimate MMA fighter. It's not like MMA has the baddest people in the world, just some damn good fighters - and that's exactly what Kimbo is. The higher skilled fighter doesn't always win - and all the training in the world can't prepare you for a train wreck punch to the face.

            The guy hes fighting tonight isnt the best but hes far from a bum. Hes very experienced fighting some top notch fighters. So we will see how he does tonight.

                  Not that your post makes much sense, but Pride fighters now hold and have defended 2 of the 5 belts in UFC. Guess Rampage & Silva are doing just fine.

                    clueless...

                    JT, was brought in to make Kimbo look good. JT is known for his glass jaw than his brawling style. I don't dislike Kimbo but I can't take him serious until he fights someone decent

                      Also, Silva and Sokoudjou both won their fights in a dominated way. Don't forget about Nog being the champ also
