RE: kimbo bringin it to MMA
If you ever watch him he only fights people with zero skill and training. He has power and skill, but he's a wimp for not fighting people that could give him a challenge. It's like owning a Mustang that puts out a thousand horsepower and only racing Geo Metros...
Sean Gannon an EX-MMA fighter shut him down.

RE: kimbo bringin it to MMA
Correct. I have some mma training, and I can tell you that I would have no issue with any of the guys that Kimbo fights. Except Sean Gannon.
THe last guy Kimbo fought, was about 6'4 240, to be honest Kimbo did not look that great, some of his punchs looked slow and he pretty much shows his punchs before he throws. He is like Mike Tyson, he gives a great punch and can KO any one if he lands right, but after seeing his last fight, he looked more like a 35-38 year old man. Not to say I'm a bad ***, but I wonder what it would take to fight a guys like that, of course not in the back yard like most his fights, and actual pride type ring. I think he has fought week and not very talented fighters. There is no doubt he hits hard, but I wonder how he would do against a similar fighter with Heavy Hands? I think he will beat the much older Ray Mercer, but I would not be surprised if he loses that fight, I think a guy like Brock Lesner who will fight his first MMA fight in July, will turn out to be a better MMA fighter and I would like to see them to go at it. But there is a reason why Kimbo has not been signed by UFC and the Former Pride group now UFC. They see he is flawed.

Kimbo has a punchers chance against anyone..But thats it.I trained for 14 years Jui Jitsu and have been in a few tourneys.I'm 6' 215 lbs but fought at 185 and took a lot a whoopin from smaller more skilled foghters.Kimbo's 1 years of pit fighting would only get him destroyed vs a true MMA fighter.That being said I think Merser is what 40 and only boxed,so it should be a 4 minute bore until kimbo gets tired and quits.

RE: kimbo bringin it to MMA
I agree. He will be no better than a better in shape Tank Abbott. Once a heavy weight gets a hold of Kimbo he'll submitt in about 10 sec.
Plus I question the Age of kimbo. 31? He looks about 40.
He needs to lose about 30 pounds. He is built for 3 min fights. He will tire out quik
