For Lesnar its pure strength, he doesn’t need to have quite the skill alot like Sylvia really doesn’t have the skill just the size and it goes along way

I completely agree PW.

He is your stereotypical ‘cage fighter’ in the eyes of people who don’t know the sport. He will not bring new fans in, he will simply be ammo for the anti mma brigade with their human cock-fighting lines.

For every well spoken interview with Randy or Matt Hughes there will be a hundred images of Kimbo pretending to shoot the crowd or showing off his gold teeth.

Kimbo is bad for MMA.

That was more or less what I was going for. I just stated it wrong. I do believe training with Bas means a lot. Does MMA need a common street thug being a poster boy when it has legitimate stars, who have dedicated their whole lives to the sport? That is why I made mention of Melendez, Shields, and Lawler being poster boys.
The reason I made mention of the Gannon fight was to basicaly take a little of his street cred away, not his mma cred. If you ever watch his street fights, the slobs that he beats, who throw three punches and can’t breath-then he calls himself king of the streets. Rich Gannon came in and exposed the joker behind the king of the streets. That is what was meant. Do I think kimbo is a better fighter. Of course, that goes without saying, anyone that keeps up with the sport can figure that out. Training with Bas Rutten would make my grandmother a better fighter then she was.

He’s going to be a beast in Elite XC because they don’t have anybody who can beat him, save Antonio Big Foot Silva, and they’re not going to pit the two of them against each other. They’re going to stay undefeated forever.

True but they all started in their 20’s not 30’s… It’s really hard to learn the bio mechanics(punching/kicking) of a new sport later on in life. Randy is the exception. But u could be right. I appreciate your comment

I think your wrong, most guys that have been dominant have come from a wrestling backround. What good is it that Kimbo can punch if the wrestler takes him down. Lesnar will be a beast.

The kind of interest that comes from a dimwit promoter saying ‘you’ve seen on him beating the crap out of knuckleheads in back yards and parking lots, now see him in a cage,’ is the kind of interest that MMA does not need.
