That fucking Kimbo (UFC)

[Jennsfitness]

MMA is a tough sport. It takes years to master one form on MA, let alone multiple forms.

Agreed, thats why Kimbo cant do it

 

[dabuffguy]

I agree completely on the first part at least. Kimbo is a very hard worker. The guy is old as hell to be training as hard as some of these guys do and still he trains harder and harder, but I just dont think he will ever be able to compete as he gets older and older.

He's past his prime by about 8-10 years at least and he isnt getting a younger.

That said, the guy is a badass streetfighter. But the thing is, fighting is a sport. If you think you can be a great fighter and completely defend yourself on the street youre a fool. Take Kimbo vs. a bullet, Brock vs. a bullet, anyone really and I think we know who wins. (save for certain military specialists)

He is good at streetfighting. He is not good at MMA. Both are sports, both have limits on their usefullness in a threatening combat situation.

Agree or disagree, I still think that Kimbo is a good youtube entertainer and a far less stellar UFC entertainer.

Yeah I pretty much agree. And I would say he is a much less of a "UFC performer" vs entertainer. I am entertained by watching him fight. I sit at the edge of my seat hoping he catches one in the chin and gets KO'd, LMAO.

I'm convinced Dana White put him in the heavy weights for the $ attraction that comes along with him. Smart business move.

I wish someone would just punch Dana in the face and break it.

Haha man I think Dana is hilarious! The dude can do or say whatever the hell he wants and get away with it so he tells it like it is.

Althoug, he is a prick, no question about it.

 

[Landospike]

It's not his ranting that bothers me, it's his explotation of the fighters. Some of these guys should be able to retire by now, like boxers are able to do.

 

[liffalot]

They sign the contracts just like he does.

But I agree some of those guys aren't too bright, he screws them a little bit. Especially the best of them.

If he trains well then Kimbo could be a great fighter someday, I laugh whenever I see one of those guys say that he could never be good fighter after the guy has been training for what now? almost a year? and hes fighting pro, you can tell by those comment that if those people trained they would quit after the first month. Anyways seeing his cardio in the Alexander fight tells me his training wasn't all that good, really I always think a part of training well is overcoming your weaknesses, one of the most common thing for the big guys is stamina and gassing out is once of the worse things that can happen to a fighter and yet I see it happen again and again, I mean I know the Florida sun and humidity sucks(well running at 5 am helps a lot with the sun but screw that) I live there, and most people find running one of the more difficult parts of training, and I can imagine with so many muscles it must be even harder but fighting at the pro level like that is just waiting for disaster to happen.

White is a man about business period. I like his style.

Kimbo is in his late 30's he will never be a good fighter. His "fighting pro" includes getting his ass kicked by every washed up average joe that Dana can throw at him, then being demoted to a show for 20 yr old amateurs.

Kimbo is a peice of shit. End of story.

The fact that he can't get himself to train hard enough to last 30 seconds in a fight is a testament to this. It has nothing to do with his size.

And I have trained MMA for 2-3 years, never stopped or quit save for surgery. So dont tell me I dont know what Im talking about.
