Anybody else think Kimbo sucks?

Question

Anybody in the top 10 would have knocked him silly on the ground with those elbows..He is not a martial artist and I can't wait for him to meet a real MMA fighter. And why didn't Thompson throw any kicks? He could have landed head kicks all night.!!

Answer 1

I agree with everthing you said. no kicks at all . kimbo isnt a real fighter

Answer 2

He seriously can't grapple.

Answer 3

All I have to say is Fedor in that second round mount = Coma for Kimbo.

Answer 4

You d**n right!  Kimbo is definitely not a MMA fighter.  Technically speaking, he lost to James Thompson, who is a mediocre fighter at best.  And boy, look at Kimbo's lack of cardio.  The guy didn't even put in three rounds and he was tired out at the end of the fight.  He'll never be champion - even in a garbage promotion like EliteXC.

Answer 5

i do. that dude is a total joke.

Answer 6

Kimbo is nobody, hyped up stret fighter turned half assed MMA fighter wannabe. the fact is the guy looks different than any other MMA fighter out there, beard, funky shaven chest, to me he looks like someone from WWE who still wears his costume :)

At thirty something starting at MMA is a lost cause, he cannot learn something that takes a decade in 1 year or so he's been around. My guess is that next time he will be pitted with another hasbeen who has no ground skills and Kimbo will be victorious, no taking risks who can pull off takedown again. People in EliteXC have to sell tickets so people can see Kimbo winning. But in reality, Fedor, Frank Mir, Arlovski, both Nogueras, and h**l even spent CroCop would end this in 3-4 minutes tops. Takedown and utilize BJJ simple as that. Thompson did not use knees when he had him pinned down, i dont think he was that tired since a 4-5 well placed knees need less energy that gazillion weak elbows he threw. All in all entertaining match, but WWE entertaining (if you can call that entertaining) because we all knew after seeing Thompson not throwing was  the end of it.

Answer 7

Kimbo is a joke. He pretty much lost to the worst heavyweight in EliteXC. If the ref hadn't stopped the fight he would have lost by decision. Guaranteed he will lose his next fight if its not James Thompson again.

Answer 8

I would love to see Kimbo in the UFC so Arlovski can beat the c**p out of him.  Kimbo is too dependent on the fast knockout.  He was an embarrasment, you don't go into the octagon with little to no conditioning.  He was gassing in the First Round.

Answer 9

Elite XC is in a tough spot now.  Since Kimbo won they need to give him a fighter that is at least as good as Thompson or better or it will be a joke.  If they give him someone better he runs the risk of losing and with it the Elite XC organization.   (Next time you want to start a MMA organization make sure you flagship fighter is a Mixed Martial Artist)
