    Thanks Stoo that was a briliant post. :clap:So it's safe to say you're not a fan!

    You basically sumed it all up for me brilliantly. I've got to admit I'm not surprised having seen a few of his boxing bouts.

    I'm no fan of Karate, but that guy Seth...well I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that after watching that appaliing 1st clip. I gotta admit I wasn't expecting such an embarassing exposure, shocking really and bloody funny.:rofl Wonder what all his "G" mates said after that one!?

    What was that slight tap that put him down?:oops:

    Thanks again I enjoyed that.:thumbsup

    Nah, it is safe to safe Im not a fan of his in Cage exploits :lol:

    But he seems an ok fella in interviews and if he can earn a buck from a few marks in boxing then he should go for it

    dana white said kimbo was a backyard BBQ brawler and would be the "first death inside of the octagon" if he ever fought in the ufc

    kimbo then went on to headline the ufcs reality show

    Both Kimbo and Ken Shammy in season 3 got the highest rated shows. Both were made stars somewhere else, youtube and WWE respectively

    This Bonnar v Griffin saved the UFC malarky is a bit of a myth imo. It was the WWE fans tuning in to see Shamrock that lead to all that, Dana and most UFC fans just wont admit it

    Why would they? Dana likewise did a U-Turn when he said he'd never have a freak show like Kimbo on the UFC. But soon changed his tune when EliteXC started raking in the viewers much to the chagrin of some UFC fighters.

    Next you'll be telling me Dana White changed MMA from a NHB free for all into a legit sport when he invented the URMMA...(No Haggis)
