i love his movement and compact punching and he is exciting for sure.

I’ll be excited to see when he can prove himself. EXC will need to start ramping up his competition otherwise the MMA hardcore fans will start to get impatient and we’ll be arguing about hype vs. reality for a long time.

He’s basically EXC’s only star so they will milk him for as long as possible. Maybe if they can land/build some more talent, they won’t have to worry about risking a Kimbo loss.

wow, what a foolish comment. Do you feel better about yourself now?

Where am I being a smartass??

Since you apparently have a comprehension problem, let me simplify my comments for you.

I don’t think Kimbo has established in the cage that he should be the most popular fighter in the world, it just doesn’t balance with his accomplishments. HOWEVER, I do think he should be getting all this hype and more, in order to spread the popularity of mma to non-fans.

I also respect the dedication he has put in to his training and hope he succeeds to live up to all the hype.

You are in such a hurry to try and look smart, that you actually decided to “call out” someone who agrees with you.

he is a hard working, exciting, polarizing fighter. If he succeeds it will be good for mma as a more widely accepted sport.

Next time, instead of calling people names, why don’t you spend a little time reading and understanding the post. Maybe you will realize that you are commenting on something that basically agrees with your stance.

your brain tells you to be an uptight smart ass. my brain looks at kimbo and projects his obvious skills and top training team into the potential greatness that he can achieve in the sport, and will at the very least achieve in short, exciting spurts.

He hasen’t beat top ten competition

I give him that he is a decent fighter and would watch him, buti wouldn’t pay 15 bucks to watch him fight thompson who has a glass chin

1. Fedor Emelianenko
2. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

4. Tim Sylvia
5. Andrei Arlovski
6. Fabricio Werdum
7. Gabriel Gonzaga
8. Cheick Kongo
9. Mirko Filipovic
10. Ben Rothwell

type in his name on youtube

one of his videos has ove 20 MILLION HITS Bro

now if he gets a % of those ppl to watch him on CBS

expect the NIKE DEAL thats in the works to speed up and happen sooner

Kimbo is a true threat to any HW in the world

Super fast
Slick BJJ
Great Takedown Defense
and the Best Striker at HW in MMA

the guy beats guys at local mcdonalds and guys that have losing records or have gloass chins

he destroys mma scrubs like tank

then he dismantles boxing legends with slick as hell BJJ skills

then he trains like an animal (that may b true)

People know kimbo is hype

Kimbo who cares anymore

The main argument was that he was fighting hand picked nobodies and being built up when other UFC fighters deserved it more than he did, yet were getting little PR.

Kimbo is getting a lot of PR that people don’t think he deserves yet. In fact people think that other fighters deserve it more (they are probably correct). sounds pretty similar to me.

I never said they were exactly the same, simply that it reminded me of the Huerta talk from a year ago.

Sorry if you disagree, that is your opinion.

the guy is unstoppable on the street and in mma

he destroys mma legends like tank

then he dismantles boxing legends with slick as hell BJJ skills

then he trains like an animal

ive never seen anything like this on all access

Kimbo is all everyone is talkin about at the barber shop and at work
its crazy!

I never said he wasn’t. However, if you get in the wayback machine and set it for about a year ago, you will find that many people were on the blogs/forums complaining about how Huerta had fought nobody and that he was being fed a string of guys making their UFC debuts. imo, a lot of that changed after the Guida fight and somewhat after the elbowing Crane while looking at the big screen in the arena. Remember, at that time, Leonard Garcia was little known, as were most of his opponents. The common belief was that UFC was feeding him easier opponents/matchups and building him up as a big time fighter, when he had proven little.

Now, in retrospect, we see that some of his opponents were pretty good and that he is a tough exciting fighter.

If you think this is wrong, ask anyone around, I’m pretty sure they will remember what I am talking about.

As for comparing it to Kimbo, I’m saying that I hope he turns out to be a solid fighter, just like Huerta has. El Matador…that is spanish for The Matador!

my god he is the man!

He tooled MMA hall of fame legend tank in minutes like a straght animal

then showd slick bjj vs boxing legend mercer

can he be stopped?

hes like the Michael Jordan of mma
