Props for Kimbo to get out the street and try the UFC…He looks like he is going all out and isn’t a joke…So that is nice to see…At the end I don’t know how good he will be, but he giving it a good shot… ---

If he faught kimbo now, he’d be done in alot less then 10 mins. Don’t sleep on Kimbo, he’s a Beast, ---

Im not saying the guys not tough, hes fuckin jacked, hes losing weight and hes getting fast but hes taking all this credability when he hasnt fought anyone thats anywhere near his speed or strength. I mean cmon, fuckin tank abbott, hes fast and slow. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > He won by submission already. He submitted Ray Mercer who celebrated his 47th birthday (46 at the time of the fight) and was a pro boxer and fought only one MMA fight, kimbo slice. So if you think taping an old boxer with little to no MMA skills is proof of ground skills, you need to brush up on some MMA knowledge. ---

Either way. Trained fighter or not. At the end of the day if you are conditioned to take a hit and can hit hard back you are going to win. ---

I like kimbo. but hes just a giant, overweight person who fights for money. He prolly has potential but he doesnt use it, hes to busy running security for the porn company he works for. ---

He prolly has potential but he doesnt use it, hes to busy running security for the porn company he works for. giant overwieght? have you seen him lately? he toned up alot, he is a beast. He’s using his potential, training hard, developing. I think when he shows he can play the ground game he will get into some bigger named fights. Time will tell. ---

I’ll even go so far as to compare him to Brock Lesnar. Same idea… only Kimbo has better strikes. Frank was getting his ass handed to him… Brock made a mistake and Frank made him pay for it. You honestly think if Chuck and Kimbo went toe to toe that Chuck would knock him out? Last fight I saw Chuck in… he gave it all he had and didn’t get the knock out… all he had. ---

i just watched tito, ken shamrock and dana white and some other UFC doods talking about kimbo being in the UFC and they were all saying he needs to learn a shit ton more about the ground game before he can prove himself as a fighter…i honestly think that if kimbo were to fight any heavyweight…arlovski, couture, ortiz, hell even silvia…i think if they went blow for blow kimbo COULD come out on top, buuuuut…the fights tend to go to the ground and welp…he’d be fucked…def has some potential…hes training with bas rutten i guess…should be interesting to see where he goes in the UFC [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chuck-liddell-on-kimbo-slice/46247.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chuck-liddell-on-kimbo-slice/46247.md?page=3)
