yeah he's made a big name for himself on the internet street fighting i guess, good luck to him in the professional sport.

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.

^ what he said

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.

Dirty F · 05-31-2008, 05:08 PM

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
