What's a Kimbo?

Seriously, though, no one should watch that crap ahead of Pavlik/Taylor II this weekend.

He is bi-polar, grew up on the streets, has serious strength, and can hit HARD. I don't say this about many people, but I would be scared of this guy. As far as his true MMA skills are concerned, he really hasn't been tested. I need to see him against a grappler to truly see if he's the real deal. Someone in the category of Noguiera, Couture, Hendo, Ortiz, etc...

made that correction.

I'm not sure, i don't watch this much. Actually, i didn't even know this Kimbo character was fighting in MMA, but someone linked me to some of his stuff and i figured I'd see if anyone follows him much. i watched one of his fights and he punished some dude.

wether or not he beats tank, the powers that be need to get kimbo and lesner in the ring. throw some other decent matches around them and that will sell some ppv.

He's going to DESTROY Tank, and I love your idea between him and Lesnar.

I think he will be decent simply because he is really training and not just coming in as a street fighter. We all know he can give and take a punch so that is a good start. Working with Bas with get him ready, altough it remains to be seen how quickly he can adjust to the ground. As someone above mentioned, he is going to kill Tank.

He works hard but have his fights been fixed? They need him to draw people in and him losing would ruin it.

His last fight was so rigged it made one of those Bob Sapp fights look real. First time i ever saw a guy tapping before he hit the ground.

I may lay some jack on Tank. Tank is not a clown by any means. He is stronger and a better wrestler and can bang with him. This is all about how serious Tank is. Will Tank be out in the bar all night before the fight? You can't just teach someone in six months on how to be a solid MMA fighter as Lesnar showed. If Tank had any type of submission offense this would be over as quick as the Lesners fight.

Hasn't Kimbo been training with Bas for 2 years now?
