[QUOTE]Originally posted by opie: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by WRS92GT: [qb] To say that Kimbo is a mixed martial artist is a insult to martial arts in general. One cannot simply learn a few techniques in each art over the course of a few months and be considered to be a true MMA fighter. If you look at most MMA fighters of today they each have at least one or two arts that they specialize in. Karo Parisyan is a highly regarded Judo artist. Randy Couture is a highly regarded olypmic caliber Greco Roman wrestler. Diego Sanchez is an excellent practitioner of Gaidojutsu. Each of them practices other arts such as BJJ, Muay Thai, traditional boxing etc etc in order to stay well rounded. I'm not trying to say that Kimbo couldn't be decent in MMA but what I am saying is that it won't happen anytime soon (at least within the UFC). To compare Kimbo with the likes of Vera, Cro-Cop, Emelianenko, Sylvia, Couture, Gonzaga, Herring, Nogueira or Werdum is fucking absurd. Kimbo is a joke compared to any of those fighters and each would dismantle Kimbo at their leisure in a sanctioned MMA bout. [/qb][/QUOTE]Kimbo would bust Herrings ass! Kimbo could take the belt right now if he wanted. Styles make fights not fighters (i thought you would know this) Could you really see randy getting this guy to the ground? Youre talking 50lbs of muscle on weight and anyone of Kimbos blows would retire Randy. Why are you comparing a guy with 1 MMA fight to the most elite heavy weight MMA fighters in the world? I cant believe you give Kimbo that much credit and respect after his first fight. Im sure hes proud to be compared to Fedor after 1 fight but I think you are jumping the gun. [/QB][/QUOTE]
