Well said.. plus, Kimbo does have some talent, whether that holds up against and accomplished MMA fighter is yet to be developed. However, in the meantime, maybe he can provide some exciting KO’s.

It’s like felony fights on youtube, fun not because these guys know how to fight… just because it’s entertaining. Kimbo’s fights, feel like he’s still on YouTube, when his fights reach the internet I just watch ‘em there for free.

True strikers get plenty of respect. Liddell, Anderson, Wandy, Crocop, just to name a few. All Tank did was throw cowboy punches. There is a difference between a brawler and a true striker.

I would love to see Kimbo try to justify himself in this sport and get into a real fight with a true MMA fighter. A fighter that can make it through the original on-slot of haymakers and show him real MMA skill. I would see it as a Mir vs. Lesner fight where skills pay off in the fight. At this point I would love to see Kimbo vs. Tito or Mir or Lesner or a real test Forest or Rampage. Which any of those guys would show Kimbo as the amateur he really is at this stage of the game.

i can remember a story my high school ancient history teacher told me about him getting into a fight when he was in the army wita guy who was known to be a good boxer. he said he was afraid at first but someone told him “just tackle the guy, a boxer cant do anything bad to you if you wrestle him to the ground”. and thats what he did and he didn’t get his ass kicked. he was pretty much saying a good wrestler would beat a good boxer in a street fight anyday. a boxer cant do anything on his back. samething holds true today, if a fighter is a good striker but has no takedown defense, no wrestling or bjj experience, he’s gonna get beat quick in today’s mma world. i like strikers too, but they def have to be well rounded.

OK your points about guys like McCain and “human cockfighting” are valid points even though i personally prepared the older formats with tournaments and 10 minute ground games.(so i outed myself as hard core MMA)

You guys better check out the Frank Shamrock’s(Middleweight) first MMA fight against Bas Rutten(HW). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47PNe6I1cZg

Moving to another point:
Why are wrestlers (basically guys who like to take it to the ground) more respected in MMA than brawlers ?

Stand-up fighters are not regarded as MMA fighters
I for one think Tank was a full fighter and Kimbo as well.
Even though they all rely on stand ups.

Don’t get me wrong – i’m the first guy to get angry when the referees start to stand up guy s up again – JUST to keep the crowd entertained with stand ups ?

Stand up guys won in the old UFC all the time, Gracie was an exception.
