Kimbo Slice trys to take on someone more than a backyard brawler..

anyone planning on watching?

Healing Artisan
at first, i thought Mercer was going to walk right through Kimbo. i was calling it Mercer via KO

now that i know Kimbo is training with Bas Rutten, it's obvious Kimbo is more prepared than before.

Kimbo via GnP in the early first round.

Cosmo Kramer
I am watching it...but why does it start so late? I need some sleep.

Kimbo might beat the crap out of him.

I think he's ready. I hope he wins.

Healing Artisan
Kimbo won. Mercer was not prepared at all. he had no idea what to do in the fight.

Bas Rutten really trained Kimbo well. the guillotine was sinked in nice. Mercer came in this fight with no mma knowledge. dissapointing. anyway, Mercer has nothing to prove. he's a ****ing legend.

Cosmo Kramer
That was stupid.Whenever Kimbo fights its by his rules. When he fought Gannon they interfered and said "no grappling" and when he fights in the MMA they put him up against an old retired boxer. If he fought a UFC fight, the leauge would make sure the rules were in his favor.

Cosmo Kramer
He will fight old people from now on.

Kimbo has a bright future. i'm not a fan, but i dont want him to suceed. i dont want people thinking MMA is a streetfighting sport.

Mercer just wasn't prepared. he had no idea what to do on the ground.

I hate to sound mean to Kimbo since I don't know him, but I completely agree with you man. I hope Kimbo gets utterly destroyed before he fights anyone worth anything in MMA.

UFC is already ruining the MMA image with this whole "brawl/grudgematch" image they are trying to portray. If Kimbo succeeds, people will think MMA is just a toughman competition or a glorified streetfight. sad MMA is already running into problems because it's "too violent". The last thing we need is some dude off the street doing well.

Why don't you want a dude off the streets doing well doing what he is good at. If he goes back to the streets he is going to be hurting innocent people. At least in MMA he gets to put his skills to good use. I really don't know about some you guys......................

joining MMA makes it seem like the sport is nothing but brawling (referring to ignorant people). the sport loses the art of diversity in disciplines. i dont want 'streetfighting' to later be considered a discipline.

He can't deny what he is, and he didn't fight Mercer like streetfighter. He used real MMA skills. The guy is legit and crazy explosive if he stays focused he has good potential in MMA. If he fought Gannon the same way he fought Mercer he would be undefeated right now. As fan of MMA I want to see anybody thats has the tools to make exciting fight I don't care where they come from, period. Are you telling me that you would rather see Tim Silvia fight then Kimbo Slice? wink

Cosmo Kramer
My friends and I were arguing the other night over who Kimbo could and could not take. How do you think he would do against Mike Tyson (Prime), Randy Savage (Prime), Mr. T (Prime) and Mariusz Pudzianowski?

Are you telling me that you would rather see Tim Silvia fight then Kimbo Slice? wink i never said he doesn't have great potential in MMA. anyone that works with Bas has potential. i understand he didn't fight Mercer with 'streetfighting' but that's what ignorant people will believe. I dont want MMA to be considered streetfighting.

Tim Sylvia? lol actually i wouldn't mind seeing that fight in the near future.

So because ignorant people are going to think ignorant thoughts you want this man to fail? roll eyes (sarcastic) That is just straight up wrong he deserves to be in there regardless of what anybody says if he is winning honing his skills in MMA he deserves his shot regardless of where he came from.

ignorance spreads like a disease.

people still think on other forums that Aleksander Emelianenko is a nazi. laughing out loud

like i said, i dont want people to call this sport streetfighting.

Randy Couture = Over 40 and he's UFC HW Champ
Dan Severn = Over 50 and he's still fighting. Currently on a long winning streak defeating young fighters.

Usually I'm with you on this kind of stuff, but Kimbo needs to get some easy fights under him in MMA to gain some experience. The next fight after that needs to be someone a little younger though.

Violent2Dope
Yo guys Kimbo's style is not brawling or streetfighting it's fisticuffs.

I really hate the man. There are many fighters far more superior fighting wise. Yet he gets too much attention. He got his ass handed to him by an ameture MMA fighter. Imagine what Ray would do to him.

Butterbean is getting hate on for no reason. the man is a good boxer, with a good MMA background.

he's easilyi the best fighter in the Super Heavyweight class.

Anyone notice how Kimbo dropped like 40lbs for the fight? I was thinking he was going to wear himself out...but man, that was really disappointing. Money down the drain.

Right now, I think Kimbo vs Jeff Monson would be a great fight.

but definitley a fight i would like to see in the future.

Every punch fatass takes leaves him open, he has no reach and zero stamina, if he lost all that weight he'd lose his only advantage.

his mma record is 10 wins with 3 loses.

he KO'd fighters much taller and stronger than him, he even submitted fighters. the guy is real mixed martial artists with a boxing background which helps him win fights.

how can you hate on someone thats succesful with such a disadvantage.

i was in shock when he submitted Zuluzinho (Vale Tudo superheavyweight champ)

edit: and the guy beat Cabbage. Arlovski had a hard time TKO'ing Cabbage, Butterbean did a great job.

Kimbo calls out Tank. Kimbo has to be careful. 1 punch from Tank can end it.

Butterbean's weight is his advantage. Every punch he puts the force of all his weight in it. He has NO stamina, this you cannot argue with. As for people being stronger than him, so what? He's just fat he's not that strong. And the submission pic you showed me, I'll admit that it's surprising that he did that, but alot of the force in that submission was due to his weight. One positive thing I have to say about him is that for a fat guy that puts his weight into every punch he swings fast.

how can you say he has NO stamina? he's a boxer and mixed martial artist.

you cant be a boxer and not have any stamina. his boxing record is 77 wins with 7 losses.

Anyone that takes Cabbage Correia to 2 rounds and TKO's him gets my respect. Cabbage has one of the strongest chins in MMA.

and once again, his weight is his disadvantage. once the fight goes to the ground, he can't do much unless he has side control which is difficult to pull off for his weight.

i completley disagree with your post my friend.

i completley disagree with your post my friend. Okay when I said no stamina I was comparing him to all boxers. He is not a stamina beast. So you think that Butterbean's reach doesn't suck? Bullshit. I agree his weight can be a disadvantage, but it's also his greatest advantage. When 400 pounds clocks you, you feel it.

you cant deny that he has proved alot.
