there has been alot of arguments but here is one area that we all need to agree on.
kimbo was set up with what should have been an easy fight and he caught a break and won the fight with a pathatic display. The guy is now 2 and 7 in his last 9 fights i think.
kimbo did ok he proved that his cardio is terrible i think for 3 fights now he is doing ok but he needs to hook up with a big time camp bas is a great mentor no doubt but a camp is what kimbo needs to get his ass some cardio and jitz.
I actually thought it was what everyone wanted to see... Kimbo being tested. I know I was on the edge of my seat when Kimbo was in what looked to be a tight guillotine, then when he was almost mounted multiple times, and the possible stoppage at the end of the 2nd round. The dude is 34 - it was simply a wake-up. I thought it was a great fight. I would have actually been dissappointed to see it end in under a minute again. Seeing Kimbo's new MMA was very interesting, and from the look on his face and his demeaner, he knew he put on a poor showing for the fans. The stoppage will be discussed endlessly until his next fight (hopefully soon).
Now, I'm thinking that all of those Brock Lesnar vs Kimbo, wouldn't want that fight anymore - Kimbo would be a huge underdog.
the thing is that its not going to bring in any more money and perhaps lose money because people that have had little to no prier exposure to mma beside that will be turned of to mma.
Yeah Kimbo should def hook up with a team. He needs to work on his bjj, his wrestling and definitely his cardio. If he can get all of that in order he could be an upper tier fighter.
Well any good striker(boxer, k-1, muay thai, etc..) could be an upper tier fighter if they became better at bjj, wrestling, cardio. Not trying to be a smart ass but come on, you could insert three things that any guy needs to improve on that would make them an upper tier fighter.
LOL... Yeah, I noticed this forum isn't for fans; it's for at-home expert analysts. The Kimbo fight was actually pretty dang good. Thompson stuck it to him. I had JT winning the first two rounds.
Kimbo is a ******* joke and JT got robbed by that BS stoppage, I'm not watching EliteXC anymore, they are bad to MMA, what is this, the return of fixed fights? Kimbo wouldn't last two minutes against any HW in the UFC.
