    I think Cabbage would be ideal, he would stand there and trade and has a good beard on him, it would be exciting while it lasted. Buentello as mentioned on another thread would be fun. Id love to see him go toe to toe with Eric 'Butterbean' Esch aswell. Also guys like Ken Shamrock, Gary Goodrige, Bob Sapp would be big buisness for elitexc and are all winnable for slice and would further enhance his mma career.

    I was gonna mention Tyson but i would hate to see him lose to a guy like Slice and i think he would. He hasn't fought since he quit against Mcbride he has no desire to fight and would be doing it purely for the $$$. Tyson is utterly wasted probably more so than Mercer and Kimbo made short work of him. Kimbo vs Bob Sapp would get loads of media coverage what a spectacle! And its quite an even fight.

    God no. Although watching Thompson get brutally knocked out never really gets old... I just don't think that man should fight in MMA anymore.

    If it is Butterbean then Kimbo better hope he can take it to the ground without trading, because seriously Butterbean would KO him. I have seen Kimbo staggered by no marks in those street brawls he has and with the little gloves on Butterbean would starch him.

    He beat Giant Silva and Don Frye, dude. Don't be a hater :)

    Seriously though, they need to give him someone who can wrestle well and doesn't stumble into punches like a ******. It would be a good stylistic match. I don't know the EliteXc roster well enough to pick someone off the top of my head though. Chances are that it will probably be the Bret Rogers chap who is a banger and will probably get starched without really testing what we are unsure of in Kimbo.

    Get this though, there are already rumors of Ken Shamrock/Kimbo.

    I think Buentello would be perfect...he's a notch up in competition but not rushing Kimbo too fsat plus it would be a great fight.

    Any MMA fighter with a basic Muay Thai background would beat Kimbo, they would land big low kicks all day long! I'd bet on a 60kg Stadium rankd Thai to do a number on him.

    When Kimbo unloads all his weight is on thefront leg, a Thai fighter with any experience would throw low legs everytime he stepped in, with this game plan it really wouldn't last long.

    Despite only training MMA for 2 years I'm pretty confident he would choke the **** out of any dainty little thai's ass.

    Maybe if you manageg to avoid being elbowed before you took him to ground but we'r not talking about a trained MMA fighter but Kimbo, a big, slow street fighter. Also......"Dainy little Thais" as you put it are strong and fast as fook.
