    My fault i read it wrong. I thought you were asking which of the guys on the TUF show would Bare knuckle fight KImbo. Which then my answer was all of them....Their fighters. And 90 percent would beat that ass. Sean Gannon beat Kimbo's ASS in their famous fight. Sean Gannon was on his Off day for the Boston PD. Its not like he had every waking minute to train for KImbo. He had a day job. Their are guys on my team that would love at shot at KImbo,bareknuckle and all

    I actually think Kimbo has a great chance at winning the whole thing. Most of the guys (experienced or not) that are on there are a joke. I think one of the better guys on there was the 1st guy that fought and won. All the other dudes on there are never have beens never will be's. Roy Nelson was imo a so so fighter thats a hundred lbs over weight and has reached the best part of his carreer and is on his way out. And the rest blah blah. I think Dana Whites going to make a killing with Kimbo and he made it so that there aint many on there that can whoop him. Im willing to bet money on that Kimbo gets far if not wins the whole thing wether the MMA world likes him or not. Im definately rooting for him.

THAT is why there are so many people out there who don't like him. As for training for a few months and calling themselves experts...i never called myself an expert (although i think no one was aiming that straight to me), but 6 years in BJJ makes me be able to see some things that might just be a little more obvious to people like me than to joe blow eating his wings and watching UFC at hooters. Just my 2 cents.



    All that aside...i hope some one from this year turns out to be a real top notch fighter , cus Brock is beating with his size...need some one out of the season with size and skill to keep the weight class competitive.
    Well technically that BS did have something to do with mma. All im saying is that just because the man marketed himself in a way that he got the opportunities that others havent, shouldnt make people hate him. If he was able to come straight from street fighting, to being the main event on a televised event, then he must have done something right.

    I respect your opinion but Roy Nelson is far from on his way out. He was beating Arlovski and had a Kimura locked on in side mount when the Ref stood them up.Remember the controversy? He also lost bullshit decisions to Rothwell and Monson.Thats it. Hardly sounds like a guy on his way out. None of these guys better go to the ground with Nelson either,as he's a beast on the mats. His cardio is also great regardless of what his body looks like. Has anyone ever seen him tire? Oh and he was the IFL champ. He'll win Tuf

    I'd be willing to bet that Kimbo wins his 1st then loses his second fight..................or so i heard. Its hard to get far when your one dimensional, but what do i know im no expert. Ive been training BJJ/MMA going on 5 years this year. Before that i wrestled and boxed a little so i think im qualified no matter if someone that doesnt fight thinks so or not. I will say that Kimbo does looked ripped though. But Maybe he should do a little more ground work and less Bench presses. We have a bunch of big guys who just started training with us and they have tons of trouble .Because there so big and strong they think muscle will get them out of bad situations. Hopefully they stay training though,its good to learn how to react to guys who are ridiculously huge. Also Im not sure if its because there too big and not flexible or what but there punches are looping and it seems like they cant physically throw a jab.This is also a problem that Kimbo has. Ive watched his fights on youtube, plus saw him fight live. His opponents were beaten before they even fought. Thats why i like bodyweight and KB training. I'm 5'9 and i walk around about 190-195,but sometimes that feels too bulky and hard to move. Or maybe its the Potato chips

    I agree Roy is a VERY tough guy. Yeah i do remember when he had Arlovski in deep shit and got stood up. I actually lost money on that fight because i bet on Roy. lol But I believe he is in worse shape than ever and if he gets in descent shape on this show he has a shot. I think he beat Monson but not Rothwell. Will he beat Kimbo? I believe Kimbo in GREAT SHAPE is a very tough guy to beat even with minimal ground skills. Why? Because i think most of these guys are going to want to try to outstrike Kimbo to prove a point. Who knows? All i know is that its actually a very exciting season of this show. I used to always watch it on & off and this one definately has my full attention.

    Good point about guys wanting to stand and trade with Kimbo,it may very well be a good wrestlers downfall

Ive watched every season,good or bad, and a friend of mine was on the last time Rampage coached. He won his 1st 2 fights and lost his 3rd. He had a good showing he was always a great fighter even when we were young. He's a Ricardo Almedia/Renzo gracie black belt,which is even more impressive IMO.

    Kimbo has to keep it standing if he wants to win. Roy is a beast on the ground. He defeated Frank Mir at Grapplers quest 15-2 a few years ago. Plus he had Andre Arlovski all but submitted when the Ref stood them up. I will say that im starting to gain a little respect for Kimbo as he really trying hard to learn what it takes to fight MMA. He seems to be picking up the ground work at a decent pace too. Good for him. Although i still want to see him get KTFO

    We will see what happens if Kimbo can not gas himself out and keep things standing he should be alright.

    If Kimbo beats roy, I don't see anyone else beating him.

    Kimbo has been known to gas a little, but not as bad at those boys out there tonight did.

    How long in advance do they know they are going on TUF? If I was going to be on national TV fighting, I'd be a cardio machine!

    If he beats Roy i think his second problem might be John Madsen & maybe Darrill Schoonover. I think Kimbo will beat them but i believe those two are maybe the most dangerous ones for Kimbo on that show.

    I agree... I thought it looked like a street fight to me, but Wes won that fight. I just think he didn't show a lot of heart and he is just big with nothing spectacular. So they passed it to the next. Even my wife said that and she doesn't really watch fighting.
