baboosicbass08 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 http://www.spike.com/blog/ultimate-fighter/89777 Check it out Kimbo's back in it, he fights this saturday night! Can't to watch this finale. Quote
bwell Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Did that dumba$$ Matt guy leave? I cant see Kimbo winning any fight, his last performance sucked... Quote
-nick- Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 That's actually been up there for a while that kimbo would fight in December. I think with all this time he's had after that fight with Roy he's bound to have gotten a lot better. Hope so anyways. Quote
BassDeaton01 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I would like to see Kimbo come out and really shock everyone and submit him! That would be kinda funny but he will have his hands full because the guy he is supposedly fighting has more octagon experience than him. But hopefully he does good. I like the guy. Quote
D4u2s0t Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I've only seem kimbo fight real fighters a few times, and in my opinion he needs much more work and is there mostly for ratings. He's not anywhere near ready to fight trained seasoned fighters. He was good at beating up nobodys in the backyard, but it's a lil different fighting people that have been training for years, and actually know how to fight. That beings said, I still enjoy watching him fight. Quote
CJ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I really have been let down this season. The heavyweight division is lacking talent. Maybe I'm just praying for a savior? I can't see any of these guys lasting more than a minute with Brock Lesnar and I wish somebody would destroy him! Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted December 2, 2009 Super User Posted December 2, 2009 X 2...IIRC, Kimbo actually did get whipped in a backyard fight, can't remember the dudes name that beat him.

bwell Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Are you talking about the cop that beat him? Quote

That beings said, I still enjoy watching him fight. I really like Kimbo because he's so humble and willing to learn and take advice and stuff. He doesn't think he's better than anyone and respects all the fighters he seems like a great person but your right he does need A LOT more work. But, the last fight we saw him in was against roy in the beginning of TUF this season and since then he went through the rest of that season training, and not to mention after he got out he's hopefully been training. Maybe after all that he's actually got a little of what it takes to handle some of the light heavyweights. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted December 3, 2009 Super User Posted December 3, 2009 X 2...IIRC, Kimbo actually did get whipped in a backyard fight, can't remember the dudes name that beat him. Sean Gannon. That fight lasted a good while before he finally knocked Kimbo out. Neither guy could hardly stand up at the end, both were gassed. It's on YouTube. I agree CJ, this season has been disappointing. The HW's just dont have the stamina to keep it interesting. I dont see anybody in the house even coming close to competing with Lesnar. Maybe they should put 2 or 3 of 'em in the ring against Brock. I think Roy Nelson has the 'skills' but Lesnar would dominate him with his size, strength and speed. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted December 3, 2009 Super User Posted December 3, 2009 Maybe after all that he's actually got a little of what it takes to handle some of the light heavyweights. If he can even make light heavyweight. He's pretty cut up as it is and his legs are already skinny. I'm not sure he could lose 25-30 pounds to make the weight. If he did, I think it would probably take too much out of him to make it a good fight. Light heavyweight might not be the best place for him anyway. Machida, Griffin, Rashad, Rampage (if he comes back), 205 is stacked with Kimbo killers already. I like Kimbo though (after seeing his positive attitude on the show) and hope he does get better.

1inStripes Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Remember Lesnar wouldn't be that hard to handle right now and may never fight again. Quote
BassDeaton01 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I agree this season of TUF has pretty much sucked! I cant stand the way Roy Nelson wins his fights. He just lays that big a** belly on them and they can't move or breathe and puches them in the top of the head until the ref calls it. I mean I know it works and a win is a win but seriously it is a crappy win IMO. I was really disappointed to see Big Baby lose too. Brendan Schaub can really throw those hands though and he definitely belongs in the finale. But I'm glad to see Dana giving Marcus and Kimbo another chance in the finale. Hopefully both of them do well. Quote

Hopefully both of them do well. I absolutely HATE that british guy. I hate roy, but i LOVED him beating that ****** bag. I knew it would happen too and that sweeny got so cocky because he landed a couple hits then roy picked him up slammed him, then you got to watch him punch him while he's squirming on the ground i loved it. Saturday is going to be a bunch of good fights though. I can't wait to see if Kimbo has really gotten any better. I also really like big baby he's probably my favorite from the show so i can't wait to see him beat mat. And I'm pretty sure Brendan will get the K/O or TKO in the second round. Quote

I agree with you -nick-. I hope Brendan does win it all. I think he deserves it. And I really hope big baby wears Mitrione out! THat guy is a clown! I thought Marcus was going to absolutely kill him when he found out about Junk's eye. I would've pee'd myself if that big black man was screaming at me like that! ;D Kimbo had had the time to improve his game so we will see. Hopefully his knee doesn't give him any problems too! Hopefully he's had the time to heal. Quote
LHC - Bank Robber Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 TUF was weak as could be there was at least two fights that should have gone to three rounds. Esp the justin wren and roy nelson fight, but the judges blew it, one of which was Adalaide Bird who almost never scores a fight correctly. But hey at least kimbo is gonna get back in the cage, and dana paired him with a stand up fighter (guess he took some notes from elite xc) Quote

That beings said, I still enjoy watching him fight. I enjoy him as well. Kimbo is nothing like what I would have expected him to act like outside the cage. I hope he goes on to have a good career, and sticks with it. I really like Kimbo because he's so humble and willing to learn and take advice and stuff. He doesn't think he's better than anyone and respects all the fighters he seems like a great person but your right he does need A LOT more work.
