Because he's terrible, an embarrassment to the sport, has no skill, a side show attraction, or maybe just because he's over-hyped bum who put a few youtube videos on the internet and doesn't know anything about MMA.

TheNegation

I don't see why any of those things should prevent me from being entertained by watching a fight?

Do you have as much of a problem with me watching old Akebono and Giant Silva fights?

rockybalboa25

I just don't see how you find it entertaining to watch two guys fight at the level you see guys fight in the street at. Why not just walk around looking for fights to start? Then you will get to see guys with no talent fight live.

Firstly, lets give Kimbo and Thompson a little more credit than that.
And secondly I take great pleasure in watching that very thing every weekend.
It's not like I suddenly can't watch top competitors because I watch guys like Kimbo. I also watch a lot of small shows with a lot of guys with 2-3 records and such all the time. Entertainment is entertainment.

I agre with most of this except Kimbo does know some stuff about MMA, he is training with Bas after all. I just don't think he has the tools to fight quality opponents.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing this fight now that I think about it. Kimbo would hopefully lose and the EXC would look like morons for promoting and hyping Kimbo. It's a win win situation and it's free.

TheNegation

Kimbo wouldn't lose this fight, well, he'd be unlikely to anyway.

Most of those guys with 2-3 records could probably beat Kimbo. I don't see why I should give Kimbo more credit than that. Just because the guy trains with Bas Rutten? Obviously he is not training very hard, or he wouldn't be so out of shape. Thompson credit? He got knocked out by Butterbean for Christ sake. Saying entertainment is entertainment is ridiculous. Would you go see a terrible movie just because it was entertainment. I do hope this fight happens, so Kimbo can get destroyed. Then Elite XC can go under, and he will fade off into oblivion.

TheNegation

Because Kimbo and Thompson are both far above the level that you see guys fight on the street at. What the hell kinda guys are fighting on your street? Kimbo was above that level back when he was posting videos on youtube.

Thompson never got knocked out by Butterbean.

How entertaining is this terrible movie?

Kimbo almost beat Gannon back before he had professional training, in a fight which Gannon cheated in. Why would he get "destroyed" now? Has all this time training with Bas made him a worse fighter, or has Gannon made some massive improvements to his game?

MJB23

TheNegation how did Gannon cheat? It's a street fight there are no rules so how can you cheat when theres no rules to break?

TheNegation

Because I have never seen Kimbo in a street fight. He's not a street fighter, he's a Bare Knuckle Boxer. Theres a big difference, peole just don't realise it since he is called a streetfighter in all his marketing. Bare Knuckle Boxing has very specific rules. I don't even bother trying to explain this to people anymore.
