    This would be an exciting fight. Also, I think it would make sense as a next move for Kimbo.

    Also, a cute little side note. They both knocked Tank out in exactly 43 seconds.

    Agreed, I dont really get all the hate people are showing Kimbo, the man only had what, 3 fights, there bringing him along quite well, unlike Lesnar who was just beat by Mir. I would like to see Tank continue to improve in all areas of his fight game, but it's pretty obvious to most his punching technique and power is top notch.

    It is the same with the Pac fanatics, they overhype a fighter to the point where you just get infuriated because the argument behind the hype makes no sense, save for a the prerequisite "Pac/kimbo ko1 whoever because thier punching power is too awesome":-(

    Calm down buddy, I'm not saying Kimbo beats everyone, I'm just stating his punching power and technique are alot better than most. Ask anyone, I been Kimbo fan for awhile now, and have been trying to tell people how much he changed since his backyard fighting days, everyone laughed at me and said he sucks and what not, now I finally see some posters that knocked him, coming on commenting about how good his punching technique looked in his most recent fight.

    Not a nuthugger, just a fan of Kimbo's.:good

    Not you Pun, i happen to feel there is a 50/50 cchance of Kimbo making it based on Bas Rutten training him.

    This Swamp Creature lad however....:think:fire

    Fair enough, he seems to be a bigger fan than me from what I read of his.:yep Who do you think wins if Lesnar vs Kimbo, I think it would be a pretty interesting matchup.

    The thing with Lesnar is he punches fairly well(knocking down Mir with a jab:yikes) and he has elite level takedowns to go along with size(intimidation factor for kimbo?) scary speed for a huge man and he faced near upper class comp in his UFC debut.

    At this point, i would favor Brock.

    Thats logical, I read somewhere that Lesnar was a really good college wrestler as well. I feel Kimbo would have the advantage if the fight stayed in the air, but if Kimbo was able to get him to the ground Slice might be trouble, at this point I see it as a 50/50, it would certainly be a very exciting fight for the fans.

    I would pay to see it. Speed is a great equalizer with all things being even.

    Very true, it would be a widely popular fight, bringing fans from the sides of the spectrum, which includes MMA fans, Wrestling fans, and Youtube fans, I really wish both sides could come together and get this fight made.

    I think that Lesnar takes Kimbo down immediately, and batters him.

    Yup, Tank managed to clinch with Kimbo, overpower him and force up against the cage in their fight. Tank is still as strong as a bull(for about 20 seconds).
    Lesnar is probably twice as strong as Tank.

    Lesnar has more functional strength, is 3 times as fast, and 10 times more agile. Let alone he is a top notch wrestler. I just don't think that Kimbo is made for that sort of fight. Kimbo needs set up against guys who can bang, but are limited on the ground like himself.
