I’d rather see these two big mugs swing it out on their feet (hopefully) for 15 minutes than watch two “experienced” MMA’ers wrestle/submission fuck each other the whole fight.

But maybe that’s why I’m a boxing fan, and also why boxing is still the better ticket.

Let’s face it, MMA is to boxing as county fair stock car racing is to formula one.

wow i guess if your best arguement is about how i choose to type then by all means feel good about yourself anyway you see fit but frankly uve officially lost my respect, i wouldve expected that from another reader but not some1 who claims to be in the know. i guess sams hurtin for help nowadays, but since you now write on a pc blog might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with some pc lingo

Screwface, you still can’t sell me on the idea that Franklin-Shamrock is comparable to Kimbo-Tank. You also can’t tell me Tank isn’t a has-been. He hasn’t won a fight in two and a half years and has lost seven of his last ten. Tank’s not even a has-been. A has-been implies he was good once.

And yeah, it’s my opinion. But if I’m on opposing sides from the guy who habitually substitutes numbers for words, I feel good about that opinion.

ben, no1 paid attention to franklin till he beat shamrock, and b4 that he was in 3 or 4 ufc undercards that no1 paid attention too, his other fights were pretty much the minor leagues of MMA. so comparing it to tank abbot who i said was not EXACTLY an old has been; yeah the guy has seen better days, but once upon a time he was a big name, just like shamrock, so umm yeah good comparison imo. im not disrepecting you, like i said your entitled to your opinion, but keep in mind thats exactly what it is, your OPINION. and seems lots of readers and another writer here disagrees with it too.

Screwface, did you seriously write that Tank Abbott isn’t an old has-been? Isn’t? I assume that’s a typo. Tank was mid-level back when nobody was a complete fighter. Now he’s even fatter and less conditioned than he was then.

BTW, Rich Franklin was 17-1 when he fought Shamrock, and he’d fought several times in the UFC by then. Comparing that fight to Kimbo fighting Tank is absurd. I agree that Kimbo can possibly go places, but he needs to have real opponents.
