Kimbo Slice is a phenomenal striker. He is new in the MMA world, which means new skill sets must be learned. I don’t understand bashing him. He is new. I think they messed up putting Lesnar against Mir. They kinda threw him to the wolves really. Straight from new guy to “hey fight one of the greatest fighters in the world”. I can’t wait to see lesnar fight again. And Kimbo fighting again is equally as exciting. Give the guys a break, they are doin more than any of us are sittin on our asses at home talkin about this.

I don’t care what other people say but, Kimbo is the only one kicking ass right now so shut up and bring somebody that can handle Kimbo. The UFC does not have anybody that can handle this man(Kimbo)so let’s wait until maybe somebody out there in the boondocks like when Kimbo was discovered can come out and try to take himout but, i really doubt it.

[quote comment=”378916″]I do not believe this Antonio Silva/Kimbo rumor floating around this thread. There is no way Kimbo would fight a calibor of fighter that Big Foot is.[/quote]

Kimbo has shown me nothing. His street fights are ridiculous at best. If he is so powerful why can he not knock out any of these bums? Kimbo, fight tank when hes 10 years younger, (your age) he would have knocked your head off. Kimbo is a decent street fighter. Enter a toughman contest, you’ll never survive in ultimate fighting.

I really don’t get all of this, the dude looks tough and I wouldn’t want to get into the ring with him. But really who has he beat to be a main event star. If the UFC put Lesnar in the main event in his first or second fight everyone would think it was bull he doesn’t deserve that shot until he proves himself. The same goes for this guy really he beat up an old long past his prime Tank Abbot. What could this guy do in there with a Randy Couture or a Fedor nothing but get beat.
I wish the guy luck and maybe in time he will be a fighter in the elite and could be considered a top ten guy but until that day I really don’t see the need for all the hype.

Prove yourself Kimbo and then I can get excited.

[quote post=”5420″]I have to admit, he does have potential…He is training with Bas Rutten…..By no means do I think he is a legit MMa fighter yet, But he defenetly could be a threat if he does learn other aspect of fighting…In MMa you have to start somewhere…I cant just cancel him out because he used to fight street-fights on youtube…
He gets a fair chance just like any other fighter starting in MMa….Plus he is training with Bas, and that says alot, on how serious he really is…[/quote]

The guy is headlining not just starting.

There are guys that are debuting in the mma mainstream with blackbelts and years of mma experience.

Kimbo was drawing big audiences and attention through the internet. Promoters seen the dollar signs above his head and signed him, thats all it is. Not that he is the next champion.

They think that casual fans will pay good money to see the guy knock heads off. I’d like to see him do that with the likes of Frank Mir.

I just don’t understand the hype.

[quote comment=”379538″][quote comment=”379503″]Going back to what everyone here has said in the past about true MMA artists verses bangers….I think alot of these comments are contradictory.

I am not a fan nor will ever be a fan of “Street fighter” Kimbo. The guys is a brawler and will always be a brawler.

Someone refers to him having developed a good sprawl….can you earn a blackbelt in that???

To call him a MMA fighter is an insult to all the true MMA fighters.

Kimbo is a ‘good for business’ fighter only. Good for MMA, I doubt it.[/quote]

are you a fan of chuck? do you think he’s good for mma? to me, him and kimbo are essentially the same[/quote]

No, I don’t like Chuck…….although I used to. Fighters like chuck are being passed by. They are not evolving enough and are starting to be left behind by the true talent.

I think Silva is still too much for Kimbo, not that I’d like to see this fight.

Please put him against “normal” mma fighter, no more freakshows.
If it is against Ken, it shouldn’t be the main event.
Ricco would be great.

Anyway, nothing against Kimbo, he’s got the right attitude to go far. Interested to see what he has on the ground thou.

Cung Le FTW!

I want to see Kimbo vs Lesnar. Would that be a freakin HUGE ppv or what. It probably wouldnt last more than one round. I hope that Lesnar gets a striker next as it would be interesting to see if he can withstand a punch. Then we would know if he has the stuff.

It would also be interesting to see kimbo fight a wrestler but i agree with the guys who r sayin that shaw will feed him more cans.

I believe kimbo would ko lesnar as he has alot of experience in real fights where people r swingin. I know brock is a wrestler but no one is punchin ur face there.
