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.
