Anyone with a serious knowledge of MMA will tell you that a guy like that is about 1/3 (or less) as lethal on the ground - and a serious MMA fighter could get him off his feet before taking a direct shot.

If Kimbo has little or no grappling experience his size won't be a factor and once he's on the pavement, mat, grass he's amost helpless against chokes, bars, guards, etc.

Take a look at the Pride fight, for example, where MMA fighter (ok, mostly a boxer) Bob Sapp - who is at least as big as Kimbo - fought 'Minotauro' Nogueira and was beat by an armbar. Nogueira is a LOT smaller than Sapp but wore him down, kept him on the mat and waited for his opportunity.

Now, the only question here is how skilled Dirty is and how he'll react if he's hit a few times before getting the big guy off his feet?

Of course, like everyone else I'm hoping this isn't just another round (pun intended) of GFY talk ...
