I agree with your point, but that is a pretty funny statement, "Kimbo's achilles heel." You probably didn't mean it like this, but when I think of an achilles heel it is kind of their one weakness. As though if it were not for one thing, Kimbo would otherwise be unbeatable. Kimbo needs work on his hands, his power, his wrestling, his jiu-jitsu, his escapes, his sweeps, his submissions, his submission defense, his transitions, his cardio, etc. In fact, I would say MMA is Kimbo's achilles heel. Otherwise, he is awesome! ;) @ tallsforeverybody

Tito would be a horrible match up for Kimbo. The only thing Tito is good at, takedown+gnp, is Kimbo's achilles heel. I'd watch it though! Ouch stevefiji…Kimbo v.

Ortiz would not be able to hang with the 205's in ProElite. Feijao looks like a young Shogun. Stevefiji: Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante would decimate Ortiz the second the bell rings.

That is high comedy. Nope, Tito will sign with Elite... they need each other, Affliction has almost no credible fights for Tito and he will bring little to a PPV...but Tito will bring a massive TV audience for sure.. they will insinuate all sorts of extra marketing stuff and side deals have been made (which were never actually done) so Tito saves face with the public about his needs being met and then Tito moves up and takes on Kimbo (who has been fed 2 more donuts in the mean time) and in Tito's second or 3rd fight with Elite, he moves up in weight and does the honors of taking out Kimbo .... Elite has themselves another 2 or 3 huge TV shows with Tito after that... This all makes too much sense.

He'd be the litmus test to see if an up and comer( Forrest, Rashad,) is ready for Top 10/ title contention. The Brookyln Brawler of MMA.
