1. Brock Lesnar - This would be an obvious choice given that they are well known guys who are new in their MMA careers. 2. Heath Herring 3. Jake O'Brien 4. Frank Mir 5. Gabriel Gonzaga I feel like it is too early to include elite level fighters like Fedor, Big Nog, Tim Sylvia, Randy Couture, Arlvloski, Brandon Vera, etc. Thanks.
Kimbo is not yet ready for Gonzaga either. Not only does Gonzaga have a great chin and very good stand-up, but his ground game is sick. Mir would have the same chance that he did against Lesnar, or just about the same chance that Mir has against anyone these days. Herring doesn't bring anything special to the table in the UFC... so I really don't know what to think about that fight. However, Jake O'brien could definitely take Tank down and control him based on what I have seen from him. This would also depend on Kimbo's takedown defense, which we really haven't had the chance to see where it's at. It is definitely too early to mention fights with him against the very top fighters though... including Gonzaga. Although, Kimbo vs Sylvia would be a fun fight.
LMAO, what are you guys baseing Kimbo's ability in MMA on? The Mercer fight and the Abbot fight? Man people wake up. He's a hype. He'll get beat the first time he steps up. Anyone on the list will beat him. No One is dumb enough to stand up with him , he is very good standing up. As soon as he goes down he'll be submited. Backyard brawl and guys over the hill then yes Kimbo kicks their ass and looks great. Real competition and he gets his ass beat.
I didn't know Brandon Vera was elite. I didn't think he graduated from top teir prospect. Heath Herring is not slouch and has plenty of ability. Fedor didn't ko him so I'm not so sure Kimbo could either. Jake O'Brien. I give Kimbo a strikers edge for possible ko Mir would stand a great chance of subbing him. Kimbo's only chance would be to keep the fight standing. Mir would sub his ass A.S.A.P. on the ground. Gonzaga is a big strong guy with plenty of talent and ability. Gonzaga by UD if he doesn't gas. Lesnar would be too strong for Kimbo and would take him down. Not sure what happens then. It would be a very intense match.
Kimbo needs to step up and just face a legit fighter.. not a ****ing freakshow. I mean.. anyone. Forget Mir or Herring or whoever people list. Those guys are way above his head right now. I'm talking Brad Imes... Dan Christison. That level, Just someone whos actually a ****ing fighter.
He's probably got the best chance against Herring, but they would probably all beat him. Take him down and either sub him or control him. It's that simple. Knocking out Tank Abott, who has a sub .500 record and is well over 40 years old, impresses me...well, not at all.
Stupid question. What is the point of having a 2-0 fighter get trashed against a veteran? Kimbos next fight should be against someone with less than 10 fights.
I just don't care to see him beating up crackheads and grandpas. Lets see, if I'm a strikerwho would be the easiest fighter to fight? Someone with no threat to take me down, check. Someone who is slower then me, check. And if I can someone who is over 40, check. I personally wouldn't want to or feel good about beating up two oldmen 10 years past there prime, and then act like I'm ready for anyone.
when did the MMA forum turn into the general forum. there is no basis to say Kimbo would beat any of those guys. He tapped out a boxer and beat up a 42yr old, washed up brawler who couldn't hack it in the "new ufc" anyway. I feel bad saying this but you guys are ****ing ******ed for picking him over anyone on that list.
