imo he was exposed in the thompson fight, that also proved eliteXC has payed off refs.

But in order for kimbo to be exposed to the casual masses, he has to lose in a dominating fashion.I bet one of the cans there feeding him will beat him.The thug moves like an fat old man.

Anyone else just waiting for it to happen?

Yea Im so wantin this to happen. When he first came around I was pretty psyched since I had always watched his internet fights and wanted to see him slug it out with some guys. But the way hes been hyped up as this great fighter and how they jus keep protecting him is embarrassing. I finally turned completely from cheering for him to against him when my cousins new boyfriend was tellin me(huge 'page fan) how Rampage wasnt that good and his ground game sucked and so I was like "ok, who's your favorite fighter?" and he simply replied "Kimbo".

like jeremy sayed he moves like fat old man thats a little bit because he is a fat old man but i think he still got some power i dont think he can be a legend or even a great fighter but he still brings a lot of carisma to his fights and every time you just want to see whats going to happen to him i think the ref should never called that fight but i also think that thompson should not had foght with that alien live form on him but hey i am like every one i just want to see him fight some one good and let him get a beatdown for a change

First I think we all want to see Carano exposed (hey I agree with you JP). Secondly I don't know that I would consider Kimbo a thug. I know plenty of guys who have little back yard brawls, just for fun. I do think that there's not a heavyweight that has a ground game that can't beat Kimbo. I think he's bad for the sport being legitimate in the eyes of the rest of the sporting world. I mean seriously Jake Shields could make Kimbo tap in three minutes. And before everyone says Kimbos too powerful, lets do a little mma SAT analogy. Royce Gracie is Kimo as Jake Shields is to Kimbo.

I'm so tired of this defense.

I don't think Kimbo tried to stop anyone from hyping his backyard brawling up like it was some kind of accomplishment, so yeah... He deserves a large portion of the blame.

Unless you're trying to liken Kimbo to a child or a retarded person being taken advantage of, than he is at least equally to blame for his extremely overrated hype train.

I seriously doubt kimbo thought he was going to blow up like he did.I also doubt his initial intent was to be in MMA. He was already getting "bread"(nothing compared to now) and his goons decided to film it and post it on youtube. After such a huge response is when greedy minds decided to market him. I know I wouldnt decline if someone wanted to pay me thousands to fight. I can't recall Kimbo ever saying he was the baddest man in the world or the greatest MMA HW...youtube kiddies did

In an interview he called out Chuck Liddell. He has said that he won't back down from anybody and will fight anybody. Even though his opponents can barely be called real mixed martial artists. Look it's not completely his fault. Elite XC management has over-hyped him to a ridiculous nature. Gary Shaw's son, I forget his name, said Kimbo was in the top 10 of heavyweight strikers. He does deserve a lot of the hate he gets because of things he said, but I have to be honest I'd take the money too.
