Thanks, I love those knees - he has been training MMA for a couple of years now - of course - I would not consider this an MMA match - I'd like to see Kimbo v. Coleman

He seems to have a little young Mike Tyson in him....raw power and attack attack! he looks much older than 32.

The UFC is going to snatch him up or Elite or Bodog real quick - at least a 3 fight contract - sure, he probably is going to suck but he will draw viewers - Kimbo v. Bean or Coleman

Tyson is really into MMA - supposedly, he was going to fight so many times over the years - he's actually an MMA ref - if you want to see a pure slug fest that won't last 60 seconds - Kimbo v. Butterbean - with Kimbo getting KTFO.

Kimbo is stronger and quicker than butterbean.

Wow, i'm not into this at all but from what I remember of Butterbean, i would think this guy would just bull him down.

He's not remotely close to as strong as Bean - not even 1/10 of Bean's strength - Bean - sure a freak show - but he can fight - of course, he's too heavy for the UFC so it would have to be in something like Elite - I'm sure that Kimbo is not jumping up to any real MMA fighters anytime soon - they'll keep finding local bar room hoods like Mercer or 50 year old men until they run out - then I expect Kimbo to fight a Coleman, Bean, Sapp or Tank.

kimbo fights low and close. It would be much harder for a taller fighter to beat him

Bean trains at a real camp for a long time and was fighting in Pride - he's a knock out artist - he's pure comedy when the fight goes to the ground - but he's too heavy for the UFC unless they get a Super HWY division - and they should - fans would love to see Bobb Sapp, Big Foot and Bean.

Anyone would beat him - name a top 50 light HWY through Super HWY and they'd beat Kimbo with ease - Ortiz, Lidell, Shogun, Rampage, Henderson, etc. - I won't even comment what a guy like Cro Cop would do to him.

and you know this from watching about 60 seconds of one bout in which he gets a former boxing champ to tap out?

The truth is no one knows how good (or bad) this beast is. If you are judging him from the backyard/junkyard bouts all over ther net then you are absolutely crazy. This guy can take more abuse than most and can dish it out as well.

...Beat Kimbo with ease??? Shom me something...anything that would support that statement

WVU that was the same things people said when Tyson was coming up...he was destroying bums...

That was my point he reminds me of Tyson,the way he attacks til the fight is over... yeah he's know kid but same kind of hype and wonder, he's become more of a cult figure- without the internet who knows we may never had heard of him.

I'm not sold he could beat a trained legit top 10-20 fighter either but who knows.

I'm only basing this on the fact that the other guys have spent their ENTIRE lives fighting - since they were kids - they were state champs in wrestling, they placed in the NCAA's, they placed in the Olympics in Judo, they won kick boxing contests, they won BJJ events at 8 years old, they placed in Abu Dhabi ten years ago, they were a past Sambo champ, etc., so that's what I base this upon - to this day Kimbo has not fought ONE MMA fight - Ray Mercer does not count towards MMA - and guess what, he will never win one match against a real opponent - not one - they'll start searching for former NFL players to fight now or more 50 year old boxers.

I've been following MMA for many years now - ever since a friend of mine while at Syracuse started dominating the world - that would be Mark Kerr - not to bust balls - but I know MMA and I would bet you never heard of Kerr.

Time will tell the story as I tell it.

Journey, Kimbo's not knocking out anyone - he's been knocking out you and me in a backyard in Liberty City.

If you want to martet something these days - put it on the internet.

The best part was when Kimbo's boys kept trying to break it up when the boston guy was getting the best of him.
