Good to see Tank showed up in good shape. Damn this is gonna be one short fight. He will have a heart attack if it goes more then 2 minutes.

it seems like Tank is taking this fight pretty seriously and trained pretty hard, maybe he’ll surprise some people.

on the other hand, i think kimbo has a few surprises in store as well. i just get the vibe off him and bas that they’ve got something in the works.

263 lbs is great shape for TANK! I think he’s well trained to go a entire 1:30 seconds.

my money is on kimbo by submission i fancy another guillotine when tank starts to lean on him around the 1 minute mark from gassing

should be a far more entertaining fight than the coward bo cantrell

He’s classy too. Billing the main event as two street fighters going at it is only good for MMA’s image imo.

Kimbo’s gotta weird patch of hair there

Kimbo is not that big.

Shaving would bring him down to about 218 so if he cut a bit of weight he could fight at light heavy weight.

But seriously, how did Tank ever get another sanctioned fight?

He looks like he belongs in an old folks home.

Ricco why dont you lose some wieght and regain some of your dignity of once being one of the best HW fighters in the world its not that difficult go to wieght boot camp if you have to.

Cant wait to see all the technical mma skills in the main event ya right oh im sorry I got this main event confused with the one thats on March 1st

Cant wait should be good fights very entertaining for sure, wish ricco had come in better shape as well he looks like he doesnt even train seriously then again i got no clue what his income is like and that can definitely affect how he trains.

[quote comment="313805"]HAHAHA Scott Smith is on this card…wow, this card is sadly better than some the UFC lately.[/quote]

This card is crap. I’ve shit more interesting things after a night of mexican food and beer. The best thing on this card is Big Foot Silva and he has not even fought any real names. So that is ?able. Rico Rodriguez and Tank Abbot look like they just came back from the San Genero Festival-an evening of Sausage and Peppers, beer, and a prayer that neither one of them have a heart attack from the evening of cocaine and whores from the night before the weigh in. Kimbo Slice is at best questionable and is riding the interenet wave of popularity. BEsides that he is a nobody. Wow he beat Ray MErcer and Bo “I get take a glancing hit in the shoulder and tap out before I hit the ground-take a dive’ Cantrel. Are you serious this guy is fine as long as he never fight anyone with a chin and even a basic ground game. He would last 1 round with any real heavy weight MMA athlete. My thinking here is hope for a quick evening and between kimbo, Abbot, and Ricco bring a camera to the after party because that is where all the action is going to be. I can not believe anyone would say this rivals anything that the UFC has put there name on is crazy…

Good line up I reckon. Can’t tell the difference between Ricco Rodriguez and Tank Abbott lol fat asses!! Kinbo is a beast puncher, as long as he gets put in with stand-up guys, I think he’ll go a fair way (laugh I don’t care!) but in with a HW jujitsu guy he’ll be in a bit of trouble. Kimbo will suprise a lot of MMA fans I think soon enough he’s got a great attitude and trains like a machine. And people seem to think he’s just some big meat-head who can throw 1 punch. Not so he was a talented American Football player when he was younger so has always been athletic and fast for a big dude

Kimbo is getting in a lot better shape it seems, surprisingly enough.

Untill he gets more well rounded I will only watch him for a good ol’ knock out, that’s pretty much all he’s good for at the moment. lol.
