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.

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.
Kimbo is just beginning. he still needs to learn, and Bas is the best trainer out there. 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.
age doesn't play a factor in MMA. look at Randy Couture, he's over 40 and HW UFC Champ.
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. 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......................

i have nothing against Kimbo, except for the fact that he has depicted himself as a streetfighter.
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?

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?
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? 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.
