Kimbo on TUF

[bigtimfish]

How do you guys think he will do?If he does win it, how will he do in the UFC? I am at a stand still with this one. Consider the rest of the heavyweight field. IMO it's not very strong. Lesnar is about it. But Kimbo may not have enough skill to even beat Mir. I have not seen enough of his actual mma fights (only his you tube ones) I did see him get knocked down by a jab though.I honestly can't predict this.

Sorry buddy but Kimbo Slice sucks. He was a good street brawler when it came to those who didn't know what they were doing, but in the ring never stands a chance with professionals. I mean look, he was knocked out in 14 seconds by Seth Petruzelli, didn't stand a chance. That says it all right there. He is just a big street brawl-in' thug.

May not have enough skill? Mir has forgotten more about MMA in his lifetime than Kimbo will ever know. Kimbo shouldn't even be in the same sentence as Frank Mir. Kimbo can throw hands but so can Mir (see Noguiera fight) and if the fight went to the mat, Mir would most likely break Kimbo's arm (see Sylvia fight) or choke him out rather quickly. Mir is a jiu-jitsu black belt and has been for a very long time.....he's light years ahead of Kimbo in all facets of the game. They might match up well on paper but that's about it.

Kimbo could surprise people though on TUF. If the guys on the show want to stand and fight him, they better get ready to get beat on. He's been in obscurity for a while and training with Bas Ruuten (sp?) so his overall 'game' could be much improved. The show is only about a month away so we'll see what's up real soon. But Kimbo's got a long way to go before he hits the octagon with the big boys.

I'd be a little scared of what might be living in Kimbo's beard.....he needs to take control of that thing.  ;D

Maybe that came out the wrong way. I am not taking anything away from Mir. I was making a Mir and Lesnar reference. If he can't beat Mir then he can't beat lesnar. I am not a lesnar fan but I am a Mir fan.

If he can't beat Mir then he can't beat lesnar.

The Mir/Lesnar rivalry is still up in the air. It wont be settled until they go the best 2 out of 3. It's all even right now except bighead is walking around with the belt.

Kimbo is a legit street fighter, but he has got a lot to prove as far as his MMA skills go. I don't know who else is on the show for this season so it's hard to say how I think he'll do, but I think if the other heavyweights try to stand up with him they're gonna have a real bad day. Either way I'm stoked for this Ultimate Fighter Season to start
