He was forged on the streets, but as you saw in the video of him vs. the Sean Gannon, you saw Kimbo get winded. Now that was before he was training pro MMA training with by Bas Ruten.... Kimbo has only been doing that for just a little more than a 1 year, and I am sorry but this is not enough time for him to beat Chuck Liddell. Chuck has had problems of his own lately being quite the party boy and a lack of training that led him to get knocked out by Quinton Jackson who ended up loosing a 5 round decision to the judges, since I don't feel Quinton actually lost to Forrest Griffin. I thought it was a draw and should have went to a 6th round sudden death winner take all, but the UFC doesn't have those rules. So how does Slice, um make that Mr. Slice beat a guy like Chuck Liddell, Quinton Jackson, or that caliber of MMA athlete, well I think the road starts with Tito Ortiz and Randy Coture. If Slice were to to enlist their help in training him, he would have a ground game so strong to match fighting skills, but keep in mind Chuck has wrestled for years and was a division 1 wrestler... It will take more than a year of training for Kimbo to even come close to the ground skills needed to beat Chuck and both of these guys have serious KO power, so if a fight did go down in the next few months the only way Kimbo would win is by a KO. You also have to fator the age of the fighter.... Kimbo was born in 1974 so he is now 34 going on 35 and for MMA super athletes that is close to retirement age. Kimbo has (if he has good DNA) maybe 3 to 4 years in this sport. He is an awesome example of accomplishment, and I give him respect, but if he wants to fight MMA he is going to have to earn every ounce of it.mma fan nmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826802473335750049noreply@blogger.com
