Whats next for Kimbo?

[gottibme]

First of all for all you kimbo bashers,im not a huge fan but I will admit his standup is pretty decent and he has some ground skills,but anyway I wanted to know whats next after the close James Thompson win?

[yannick35]

another big fat paycheck.

Depending on the promoter and where they want to push him. Has of now he has faced grade C fighters.

Dont get me wrong he is very strong and one hell of a striker, if Thompson would have been any good at all he was able to take Kimbo down but nothing was done on the ground.

Kimbo true test will be when he faces a real grappler.

and he has some ground skills

hahahahhahahahahaha

Kimbo real test will be when he faces a real fighter (without the ref watching is back)

I dont know..

Its almost like they paid Thompson not to get his ear drained..

and second...

The reason no match has been scheduled yet, is cause this whole thing is a promotional farce...

next level up from Thompson is a Kimbo loss..
and it seems EliteXC is dreading that.. I guess kimbo is in the gym,till they feel he will be good enough

I believe one of the heavyweights in EliteXC, actually called out Kimbo..
but I havent heard anything about a fight..

Also curious what is up with Brock Lesnar.. I remember Mark Coleman, pulled out, is there is a subsititute fighter yet? I kind of fell out of the loop with that whole Lesnar Hoopla

[BTBAM]

before anything can be up next for kimbo he has to stay in the gym and learn some ground game and get some more damn cardio in!

[WARMachine]

POOKS Herring steped up for Coleman and is now fighting Lesnar in Minnesota...

And as far as Kimbo goes, he will never be more than a C level fighter at best. James Thompson is a guy whos 14-9, and lost 4 of his last 5 fights. Even he was a big step up for Kimbo, and he barley made it though. Kimbo is a sideshow freak, and attracts negative attention to MMA that i feel is not needed. As a matter of fact, Im gonna go out on a limb and say, his career will be over in about 2 years... They cant feed him cans forever now can they? The second he fights a legit HW, hes going down in a hurry!

[g0dsend]

Kimbo doesn't know how to control the match, he just gives his all in the first round and is all out of energy the rest of the match. If he can get his stamina up then he will be a decent fighter. Still would need his ground game to work on too.

I think the ultimate match would be Lesnar vs Kimbo, 2 huge people and 2 new MMA fighters. IMO Lesnar will take him down and pound.

That was Bret Rogers. He would easily knock out Kimbo. He beat the shit outa Thompson in rd.1

Too bad EliteXC will most likely feed Kimbo another can

[test_cyp]

Kimbo should fight Cabbage if he's even still fighting. I haven't heard anything for a while. That's somewhat of a decent fight if Cabbage has still been training.

[snapyourneck]

Q. WHATS NEXT FOR KIMBO....? A. who f-cking cares.

[snapyourneck]

EliteXC is afraid to put kimbo in with rogers because 90 percent chance kimbo will get exposed AGAIN, and this time finished. Once kimbo loses, then elitexc wont have much of a following anymore because the kimbo-hype will have died and soon after will kimbo's mma career. cant wait....

[WARMachine]

Ive actually heard threw the grapevine that Aaron Brink is making a comeback soon and eventually wants to fight Kimbo... He's kinda a journeyman MMA fighter, but hes one bad MOFO... Hes a legend in HB, he even KO'd one of my buddies in a street fight a few years ago... The guy has the best two jobs in the world, he gets to beat people up, and bang hot skanks for a living! what could be better?

anyway i would love to see those two go at it... Itll be a slugfest... Semi-entertaining...

[Odpierdol_sie!]

Rosi Sexton has signed for EliteXC.... shes tougher than the mojority of them nonces that joke of a fighter whats his name has fought... maybe they will put her in with him! she has way better skills than him, just a shame shes a woman and half his size.

the mans had 3 fights jesus give him a chance fedor and randy wernt wot they are now after 3 fights,if es still the same after 7/8 fights then i agree with evryone but lets give him a chance first!

[HeavyHitter]

question... who thinks kimbo will last longer then silvia did with Fedor??? I do!! Pay Fedor a couple extra hundred thousand and tell him to fight Kimbo on his feet!! That would be pretty decent plus the owners can make there millions before Kimbo becomes a no body... (just a thought)

[southmadejd]

^^Bro Fedor would kill Kimbo on the feet in the 1st round....the dude is too quick and powerful....light years away from where Kimbo is.

[Pooks]

rematch with Gannon?

[False Positive]

Paul Bunetello. Kimbo would get wrecked

[g0dsend]

If Thompson almost beat Kimbo, I have faith that alot of fighters can beat kimbo. Hell Thompson got knocked out by Butterbean in the first round lol.

Butterbean vs Kimbo, the ultimate freak show fight.

[Voice of Reason]

Yeh but Fedor and Randy weren't main card events in there first debuts either, getting paid stupid amounts of money from youtube hype BS fights w/ no skill...

What's next for Kimbo?
I heard he's doing movies already so fvck him he's not in it for the sport never was w/ his sorry azz skills, so I see him just becoming some D-list movie star with an occasional hand-fed fight to keep his popularity up... fake MMA b!tch...

[Edgar]

Getiing his ass beat.

[quarry206]

ok tho i don't think kimbo is a great MMA fighter, i love watching him, its fun to watch. maybe not MMA but fun to watch.....

but answer me this... who here would turn down millions to do main events and do movies just to make people on the internet feel better...??!??!?!?!??

u can argue he is not a great fighter all u want, and be right.. but dont hate on him for getting paid, because u would to

[Voice of Reason]

It's just not fair to the struggling legit fighters.

[southmadejd]

Why would this dude start this thread and then not post one more time???

Waste of time....

[False Positive]

What's next for Kimbo? Gay porn and selling crack rocks is my guess

[quarry206]

What's next for Kimbo? Gay porn and selling crack rocks is my guess

wow can we talk about hater?? god kimbo is not some great MMA fighter, we all agree that.. he might become a mid level fighter one day with trainning, and he doesnt deserve all he has gotten. we all agree, but people gave him that he didnt get it on his own. so why talk shit about him... i bet ur the same guy that talk shit when u see a guy at the club with a hotter girl than urs... stop hating.. wow the guy is a main event and shouldnt be, wow like thats the first time it has ever happened ... wow he has no wind so he has about 90secs then holds on.. who cares.... why r u talking shit on the internet about him, thats gay as shit..

half the people on here have more juice in their veins then blood and ur going to talk shit about somebody cutting corners?

talk shit to the guys that think hes a god, instead of going off about him

[False Positive]

Thank you for imparting that extreme amount of wisdom on me. I feel as if I owe both you and Mr. Slice an apology. Could you please find it in your heart to forgive me? Kimbo is the streets answer to Fedor!

[elpropiotorvic]

i see his fights as some kind of humor show or something is just like going to a rodeo or stuff like that

[NEMESIS RR]

hahahahhahahahahaha

Yess that was very funny thing about Kimbo having ground skills.

[gooer]

i loved him when he was underground but as a professional fighter kimbo sucks and elite xc sucks even harder. kimbo lost in the second round to james thompson when he was on the ground in the crucifix position getting his head smashed in with elbows and NOT INTELLIGENTLY defending himself. if it was the ufc they would have stopped it, but kimbo is like the #1 star in elite xc so they purposely didn't.

i even watched an interview with the president of elite xc where he was like 'i was watching the fight and i was like oh sh*t kimbo can't lose.' in addition to this they stopped the fight prematurely leaving us: wondering if james thompson could have won and without the best part of a kimbo fight- the knockout.

on top of all this james thompson sucks and he gave kimbo an extremely hard time. i don't think kimbo's future looks good.

[WARMachine]

My god, let this thread DIE a horrible painful DEATH!!!

Kimbo vs Ken Shamrock

[stpete]

I'm going to go out on a limb and take Shamrock in this one.
