              I would fight him for 300000 grand and some stipulations. 1 i get a year to train. Two i get to use steriods. 200000 thou goes into my training for the year and the other hundred thou goes to my salary win or lose. Oh and also im allowed to eye gough and hit below the belt. also i can use the Pedegri or the swan tom bomb in my arsenal. Or the F five.

                      Slice will probably win this one. Tank has power, but doesn't really train much.

                        kimbo is scary mean and tough but these fights are too short and too unpredictable to spend money buying. i'll stick with the uncertainty of boxing!

                          Tank is a bum, but at +350 he's the play. MMA takes a variety of skills, not just a good looking punch. Plus Tank can take a hell of a beating. I'll take the chance that Tank can find something on the ground and submit Kimbo.

                                MMA is alot about matchups - he could certainly beat some decent fighters - but no - he is not for real - nor is Tank - I would imagine he wins via KO within 1 minute - eventually Kimbo is going to have to fight some real fighers - Lesnar would murder him within 45 seconds - basically, he would lose to all real good strikers and get killed by anyone with a wrestling back ground.

                                  Tank has a strong wrestling back ground and how do you know Lesner would beat him. You ever see Lesner get hit in the jaw?

                                      There is no way Lesnar would beat Kimbo in under a minute. Did you see this guy tonight?

                                          Lesnar would take Kimbo down fast and ground and pound him to death. Neither would last against someone like Nogiera or Emelianko.

                                            Kimbo has not even fought any decent guy yet, an average fighter would pound him.

                                                    Where else would a mohawk be? In the smaller picture it looked like one of those stocking hats tied in a knot in the middle.

                                                    What does that absurdly sexy tatoo say?

                                                      Where else would a mohawk be? In the smaller picture it looked like one of those stocking hats tied in a knot in the middle.

                                                      What does that absurdly sexy tatoo say?


                                                      haha i guess i could have mohawks down the sides. that would be extra badass.

                                                      the tattoo says C R V. my mothers initials.

                                                            Who's next for Kimbo?

                                                            I was just going throught the heavyweight division in my head and thought Paul Buentello might be a good match. I went ahead and looked up Paul Buentello on Wiki, amazingly enough there's talk on there about a match possibility with Kimbo. Sounds like Paul Buentello would take the fight, but the stalling is all on the Kimbo side. The holdup probably is because Paul Buentello isn't a big enough name, plus the big chance of Kimbo losing.

                                                            Kimbo probably would have an easier fight against someone like Ken Shamrock, not to mention that the Shamrock name is huge. The only problem with Shamrock is that he's pushing 50 and unlikely to fight again. Then again, maybe Shamrock would come out of retirement for the right price to put a punk like Kimbo in his place. But, Shamrock has hardly won a meaningful fight in over 10 years, not to mention losing 6 of his last 7 fights.

                                                            Paul Buentello is definitely second tier, below the big hitters. But, still a very solid test for a guy like Kimbo. Plus, if Kimbo really is the real deal, why not give him as much chance as possible to sharpen his skills, build his record and hype the hype. Paul Buentello seems to be a perfect fit, a hispanic brawler against the afro punching machine. I'd like to see this one.

                                                              He'll either fight Ken Shamrock or James Thompson if he's still in Elite FX - UFC is reluctant to sign him knowing he can't compete

                                                              I'd like to see Lesnar v. Couture - just to see if Randy knows enough subs to finish it.

                                                                I'd like to see Lesnar v. Couture - just to see if Randy knows enough subs to finish it.

                                                                I'd like to see Lesnar v. Couture. But Randy would absolutely school Brock. Randy has seen everything and done everthing when it comes to the octagon. Brock isn't bringing anything that Randy hasn't disarmed again and again. The only thing is when will father time finally catch Randy. I think Randy has got a few good years left.

                                                                As for Kimbo, I'd definitely like to see him fight a second tier MMA talent. Tank was probably 3rd tier, which is basically bottom tier or garbage tier. Tank is probably the toughest guy Kimbo has seen so far, but Tank is still a far cry from the next level of MMA talent out there. Even Shamrock, to me, isn't quite 2nd tier anymore. He's kinda coasting on his reputation. If Kimbo can ink the deal, I think Shamrock is absolutely a fight he can't pass up. I just don't see Shamrock bothering with it, unless it's worth his while ($$$) to get back in the cage. Shamrock already posed as a punching bag for Rich Franklin, and said so after the fight. So, it's definitely something that he'll do. At the same time, Shamrock has a chance to win. But, sheesh, he's so friggin old. lmao. He isn't Randy Couture old either. He's creaky joints and bad back type of old. Plus, Shamrock would be fighting up a weight class. But, I don't think that would be an issue for him since he's fought heavyweight type of fighters in the past. Overall, an excellent chance to build Kimbo as a star, but someone has to come up with the cabbage.

                                                                  I think Frank Shamrock would be a better match even though that's a big difference in weight. They could put Kimbo up against someone on their way out like Vitor Belfort. That fight would draw alot of interest but I don't see Kimbo being in that one long. As soon as Kimbo fights anyone with some take down and sub skill , he'll be in a world of shit. He can only fight bangers for a good while to come or he's toast.
