Who has Kimbo asked to fight? Sean Gannon? Nuff said. Except for the fact that Brock asked for the fight. Who has Kimbo asked to fight? Sean Gannon? Nuff said.

I actually would have picked these two to choose the other's path. I thought Kimbo would take a big fight or two to cash in, then bail if he wasn't winning. I thought the UFC would baby Brock a bit more. I don't care what you think of Mir, a guy in a co-main event against an ex-champ, in his second MMA fight smells more like Elite XC, M-1, or Bodog, rather than the UFC. Almost like the want to get as much out of him as they can from the start, just in case he is a bust. I also thought of Brock when reading this.

Wow... and where is the substance to support this? With a comment like that you must be training with Kimbo...? “Oh yeah cause he doesn’t really have the skill to make it.”

If Brock's camp isn't afraid to put him up against a former champion then why should Kimbo be any different.... Oh yeah cause he doesn't really have the skill to make it. Let's just make as much money off of someone while he's still winning and popular. That seems to be some promoters and fighters agenda.

You get decent name recognition along with testing Kimbo's chin all while feeling comfortable about your boy being able to secure the win and maybe K.O.'ing Tank to get a buzz going.

And how come Bisping gets McCarthy? Weren't they building him up already? Why does he get to continue building up at MW? thankfully, since the money is relatively smaller in MMA as of yet, people aren’t “building up” fighters to 30-0 or the like against outmatched cab drivers.
