    Bit of a freak show match at this point. Who would you pick and why?

    If Kimbo really lost to Sean Gannon then I guess I would have to go with Lesnar. We'll have to see how Kimbo fares with Tank Abbott and how Lesnar deals with Frank Mir. Then we'll have more idea where each guy is at now.

    Kimbo, he seems to be a real powerhouse in MMA, he is one of the few MMA fighters who throw hard punches with good technique.

    An excellent wrestler vs. a mediocre striker with rudimentary jiu jitsu. On paper alone, you need to go with the wrestler.

    Kimbo doesn't have the sprawl to keep the fight standing, and his basic knowledge of chokes isn't enough to get him anywhere on the ground. My guess is that Lesnar also has better cardio than Kimbo, and he is a far superior athlete.

    Brock Lesnar via ground and pound.

    Kimbo is probably a lock if he can keep the fight standing, which isn't likely.

    Even if he can't stuff Lesnar's shots though, Lasnar might drop like a rock after getting hit just once or twice by Kimbo, No one knows if Lesnar can take any kind of punch at all.

    It's still impossible to tell.

    Lesnar would manhandle Kimbo. kimbo is a good street fighter - that is learning the basics of mma - but Lesnar has stellar wrestling credentials. Lesnar would throw Kimbo to the ground in a matter of seconds. He should be able to ground and pound him out from there - if Kimbo can't keep Lesnar out of the mount - then it's lights out.

    Kimbo Slice would have a short MMA career if he got in the ring with Brock Lesnar, athletically these two are on different planets!

    Gannon was out of shape & Kimbo's people were trying to help him too but he still got his ass kicked.

    Kimbo may develop into a solid fighter in the future if Bas continues to train him. I wonder how Brock's training is going.

    Kimbo was the one who first shot for a takedown and hit gannon several times on the ground.

    The video doesn't lie.
