Manx....very true about Butterbean with MMA experience. He also fought in Pride too. Regardless...Butterbean with 4oz gloves is a threat to anybody like Tank was. After watching how fast Kimbo was putting (Bas Rutten type) combinations together, Butterbean is really outmatched. But you are truly correct about Butterbean having some MMA experience.
Kimbo needs a legit victory. Not Tank,or Butterbean or Ken. EliteXC continues to babysit Kimbo and keep the wolves away from him. Fans are condoning it and there for adding to the hype. If Kimbo is that good well lets see a real MMA match with him. Or better yet lets give him 4 more victories on a silver platter and when his morale and popularity reaches the boiling point and he cages with a real fighter and gets beat down...... the little Kimbos of the MMA world will realize that their favorite fighter wasn't sxxx! The point that I'm trying to make is that maybe he is a great fighter. But if he keeps drawing bums on his card how will he progress? If he has no notable victories people will continue to label him faulty.:thumbsdown:
what the **** is up with these sideshows, butterbean is so freaking heavy he will put his weight around the fight. I don't even know if kimbo can knock this sucker out, we need an legit contender here to fight kimbo. Where the hell is snorefest tim silvia out when you need him. I would rather have him or glassjaw arlovski than anyone remotely named butterbean. Thats a laughing stock waiting to happen.
Butterbean is one of the worst MMA fighters I've ever seen. He can't even get up when he falls down. And when he's down he's to damn fat to even defend or coverup. His punches are too slow, any good counterpuncher would hit him with 3 back before Butterbean got one off. That would be an embarrassment to the fighters of Elite or any real fight organization to display a showcase like that.
the ONLY reason why i wouldn't mind this happenigng, is to just shut everyone up who thinks kimbo would get dominated. the man can't move, at all. kimbo could just run circles and punch every once in a while, counter all day
all kimbo has to do is get butterbean to the ground hes like a turtle on its back once hes down just good old fashioned ground and pound but if the fight stays on the feet i dont think its a good idea to stand and trade with him
Well we all know Butterbean would lose if the fight hit the ground with Kimbo on top. If Kimbo stood with him he would obviously be much quicker but Bean is tough to knock out on his feet. Both guys have ridiculous chin. Well I'm done analyzing this fight cuz I don't care either way.
You guys know that Butterbean has a ground game, right? He's worked hard on it, and though he's a striker by trade, he did submit a 400 pound fighter with a kimura, so he's got some idea what he's doing on the ground.
It he going to pull an armbar off of the back? Probably not.
Still, if this fight does happen, I see it lasting all of three minutes, and Butterbean winning via knockout. This isn't because Kimbo's bad, it's because Butterbean is one of the King-of-the-Four-Rounders. He's a technical boxer who's been at this alot longer than Kimbo.
Honestly, when I look at the size difference, the experience factor, the skill set matchup and the simple fact that Butterbean has fought in this sport for a long time, I have to say that Butterbean (as fat and slow as he is) is probably right about this one.
