oh ya kimbo bunched, kneed, took him to the gound and choked him out.
The only sad part is that I don't think were going to see any backyard fights from KIMBO.
right now he is talking shit to another fighter saying hey lets fight now, He said I've taken two dudes down before and I can do it again....LOL
CONGRATS KIMBO!

i wanted to see mercer win standing up but seems like kimbo's recent mma training worked for him. i would have liked to see them fight strictly boxing rules..oh well.
strikeforce was way better friday night...baroni got choked with hella pride...didnt even tap.

Put Kimbo up against Paul Buentello or Eddie Sanchez from the UFC. They are nobody's that would stand toe to toe with Kimbo.
When and IF Kimbo can get through anyone worth while I might raise an eyebrow in his direction.
As far as I'm concerned Kimbo isn't worth shit in MMA. One fight and now people are starting to ride on his nuts like a red carpet. Kimbo will get absolutely obliterated by any reputable TRUE HW MMA fighter. Ray Mercer is not an MMA fighter.
However since Sean Gannon hasn't fought in the UFC since his loss to Brandon Lee Hinkle I'd love to see a Kimbo VS Gannon II no holds barred and see what happens then. It takes more than just a few months of BJJ training to become a decent MMA practitioner. I've been practing Muay Thai for just under a year and I suck compared to guys with two or three years experience.
But on the bright side of Saturday night at least BJ choked Jens' ass out. BJ looked great in form and dominated Jens from the start.

i agree kimbo will still have to do a lot of hard training if he wants to go anywhere with his career, mercer is not an mma fighter but maybe it was an ok tune up match for kimbo, but he will go no where unless he sticks with bas or another good team.

Theres always an excuse. He went from a back yard lame with no skills to fighting an X heavy weight boxer and won-most said he would lose. Now theres more excuses. Kimbo has the hands and body to be a good heavy weight MMA fighter. He trained a total of 3 weeks, give hime 3yrs of MMA training- hes not as old as he looks birth date of 1975. Also dont forget ground game can be tought stand up, hand, eye skills are god given. Also dont forget Mercer was the best heavy weight there was and if you dont think he trained in ground youre mistaken. nobody said he is ready for Fedor but then again Fedor has 20 times the amount of $ to spend on training. Kimbo wont ever be dominant for a lengthy period but he has very heavy hands and for someone to say he cant be the champ in ufc doesnt know what they are talking about.

It was a staged fight...to make MONEY. You actually think Mercer gave a sh!t about this guy? Not hardly. He was there for a check.
If Kimbo is the badass everyone claims him to be...he woulda been signed LONG ago to a contract. He's a clown posting his vids on YouTube...no different then the rest of the stupid vids there. And fight Gannon again? Why, so when he gets whooped he can come up with more excuses? ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

kimbo aint shit and shouldnt even be considered a mid level hw for mma.
of course he looks good when fighting against cans. although known for his striking skills when he's put up against mercer he takes the fight to the ground. he did fight smart but i think there would be less questions about his boxing skills if he actually went toe to toe with mercer. any boxer off their feet is like a fish out of water and that has been proven time and time again in mma.
that ppv was not worth anyones time especially when spike had penn vs pulver.

he actually tranined forloner then 3 weeks, he has been training for about a year or so now,just a couple weeks with the bas camp. he did fight a smart fight, why would you ever go toe toe with an ex boxer when this is mma, he looked decent in that fight and with more training he could be good if he dedicates himself.

Kimbo is gonna whoop Tanks pasty fat ass LOL! Tank is a wahsed up never was, I can't believe some people are honestly giving him a shot at winning. Kimbo is gonna build his rep up by fighting UFC has beens and never was's. He will fight about two maybe three more MMA bums and then get a big money match on PPV where he will promply get his ass whooped by a well known MMA star with skill and you all will order it on PPV because you will buy into the Kimbo hype.

i think kimbo should fight a wrestler and we'll see what happens in mma.
brock lesnar who is also new to mma would be a nice way to introduce kimbo to reality.

I dont think most are giving Kimbo his credit. The dude is not a bum. He is rather new to MMA and may need more training. But he is not a push over at all. Dude can fight, is strong as fuck, and has heart. Those right there are the raw tools needed. After that he is just like anyone else, he needs to polish his technique and get better. And I believe this is what he will do. The fight looked bunk, but why would he stand toe to toe with a pure boxer? In a fight you play to your opponents weakness. And he did. And won. WHy complain? We knew he was gonna kick Ray's dick in the dirt. Just how and how fast was the key? I still dont think I will buy a fight of his, but it would be good to see him climb in the ranks.

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.

Tank still has a chance. He's a vet at the game and doesn't care if he gets KO'ed... Kimbo beat up a old boxer with no MMA experience, but i guess you have to start somewhere.
