Kimbo never claimed to be at the top of the food chain in mma,he was only promoted as such because he was a cash cow for Elite XC. He knows his place in the game he's in now and is just taking advantage of having top notch facilities and coach's to train with. But to say the dude can't fight is absurd,I bet no one here would be running to the front of the line to go toe to toe with him.

Hes a pretty decent fighter for that weight.. Meaning theres a lot of potential there. Chances are hes gonna get beat by someone on te show within the first few fights BUT I bet its someone who has been training for awhile and would bet its on the ground. I would also be willing to bet that after the show a camp picks him up and he still ends up in the ufc and surprises some people. For little to no training in comparison to most of these guys he isnt bad. Dont let the marketing fool you guys. Anyone who has ever met or trained with the guy has always said he is no where near what he seems like online and TV, and thats he is respectful and willing to learn. I cant hate on that at all, and I hope he makes good use of the opportunity and makes things happen for himself.
Its a reality show, and just like many(all) the others, a huge majority of stuff is staged for ratings. Thats one thing that kinda cheapens this sport some. Every season the focus of the fighting drifts away just a little bit more in order to sell more tapout gear and get more viewers. So take a large portion of what you see in peoples personalities with a grain of salt.

They would never do it if they didn't get paid. I'd fight him if they paid me. Just like boxing. They pay fighter just to lose. And they are not banging with kimbo they are getting banged.

And it won't be the last time if he wants to play this game so what's your point? Is Kimbo supposed to be unbeatable? He's just a man like the rest of the guys on the show they can all be beat and will some day as long as they choose to step into a ring.

YUp...Agreed
YUp, You gotta respect all fighters that step into that cage. It aint no joke. Kimbo isn;t top dog....but he def has potential. It's funny when I hear people clown on him...... and say he can't fight... LOL. You should try MMA. Get your face bashed in a a few times..... then talk....
