Right now there's only one guy in mma who IMO can truly stand with kimbo, and that's Cheik kongo. His stand up is very pretty.

Oh abosolutely...Just as Lesner found out recently being strong and hitting hard isn't enough...These top MMA guys only need a split sec to catch you in a bad position....
Congo needs to improve his ground game a bit...it has been improving each time out and in a few years IMO he will be a dominate force...His stand up is SICK...his power is scary.....Get a decent ground game and it is a make up for a demolishing machine...
Kimbo needs to learn how to compose himself even on his feet...we have yet to see any ground game but he can't lose control in the moment like the other night when he hit Abbott in the back of the head...being dangerous and hitting hard is one thing you need to be composed to become truly effective...be it MMA or Boxing

compose to be effective, thats so true. Like my boy tyson, frustrate him and he'll be like a headless chicken running around hopeless.
I like congo i think he has a good future, he dominated crocop and not just caught him with something out of nowhere but really beat him. Im still hopeful for Andre though. I really hope he can become champion. I don't know what Randys problem is but Nogeria is now the interim champ and Im not sure if Andre can beat either guy just yet. Ive seen a lot of Nogeria back in pride his pretty good, I think randy beats him though.
Arlovski has a very heavy right hand but his chin in questionable. In addition, he is not one to muck it up like Kimbo. He wasn't exactly what anyone would call "aggressive" against Werdum and Werdum doesn't have NEARLY the power of Kimbo. So yes, he probably COULD stand with Kimbo, but WOULD he?

Kimbo is scary no doubt and I would love to see him and Brock go at it. Right now Kimbo is more relevant too. I would say Brock has more potential but if Matt Serra can beat down GSP then anything is possible if any heavyweight looks past Kimbo.
Cheik, I don't see it. Not impressed, I don't think the formula to beat him is any sort of mystery. Get it to the ground. It's not like he has been a terror standing up either. He's got a couple good names on his record but he has been far from impressive imo.
He's real ugly on the ground and anyone with any sort of energy is going to get past that grab and pray defense he has and get him out of there. Don't think he makes it to far against the top tier simply because of how lacking his ground game is and his stand up isn't enough to compensate.
Sorry but I don't give that much weight. Abbott didn't even look like he wanted to be there, and is well known to not train AT ALL for fights. He prides himself on showing up from weeks of barhopping. He's so far past it.
That being said, I do think Kimbo is dangerous and a solid opponent with some very exciting fights ahead. Not impressed with beating Abbott though.
Who is next for Kimbo? Enjoy watching his fights.

Wasn't impressed in the way that Abbott was anything special to beat but like other pweople are saying Kimbo makes it exciting...It is the aura he brings....I am still curious to see what happens when he fights a guy with a pulse....Bas Rutton is the secret weapon IMO...If he is working with Kimbo even half as much as they say Kimbo should be able to at least avoid being walked on by anyone but the elite....
Bas is bringing him along like a young prospect fighter...building his confidence slowly til he is sure Slice is ready for a real opponent...building his confidence...Lets just hope it is not the pace Duva has been bringing Mike Marrone

Well Duva is like Marrone's dad. Marrone DOESN'T have the goods to be a top fighter. He's skilled and a solid guy but he's getting ko'd when he goes against a heavy hitter. Duva doesn't want to see that. Keep him on FNF against guys who get 4days to train and aren't big punchers so Marrone can keep his undefeated record.
I think traditionally MMA is much more competetive when building a fighter. Boxing a guy has to be undefeated so they put him in with pillows for 30 fights before he faces a challenge. Don't think Kimbo or any mma guy getting groomed is getting off that easy.
This Kimbo guy is like Joe Calzaghe. He hasn't fought anyone that is of any class or who isn't collecting social security. Why don't they set up a Lesnar Slice. Kimbo would be destroyed in seconds by Brock's ground game and his power. I thought it was a miracle that Mir won. He was getting his ass beat. I think submission is kind of pussy like and really doesn't work in the street. If someone arm bars me or any thing else I would crush there nutts to the point that having children would be out of the question . But I guess.......what ever he won. No holes barred I still think Brock buries him. Hell set up Slice with Randy Coture. Slice losses . Tank was a joke in UFC . The guy gets winded getting into the ring.
