OMFG, wow was that a fight? 10 years ago would have been a little bit longer fight. Kimbo would still beat him though, well maybe? Tank is too old, 42 come on. Tank did it for the money, he needs to buy some beer…
in 2-17-2008 at 01:58:09 from 68.48.252.138
What a farce.
in 2-17-2008 at 01:58:30 from 99.225.76.4
I’m waiting for this street fighter to go up against a real mma fighter…if he wins against someone credible, then I’ll give it to him…but right now, I have more respect for someone like Brock Lesnar who lost going up against a former Champion in Frank Mir than against someone who fights 40 , out-of-shape has beens or no names and wins…
in 2-17-2008 at 02:00:35 from 208.117.79.188
wow complete ownage. tank has no boxing skills, he just swings for the fences and prays that he gets lucky. kimbo , who i dont think is that great of an mma fighter, is showing improvement. he was moving his head and landed majority of his punches but tank wasnt a hard target to hit
in 2-17-2008 at 02:00:44 from 66.27.173.232
Tank…please quit.
Too embarrassing.
Kimbo ought to work on his ground game and go for some real opponents.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:02:36 from 69.122.8.108
stop under estimating kimbo, doesnt matter if tank is old, so is randy couture.. tank has no match against kimbo.. and hes not a regular amautuer from the street, and tank is known to be able to take punches, this proves how hard kimbo can hit. kimbo is a street fighter but admit and face the fact that hes the best street fighter there is that came on to take on pros. yeah kimbo needs to fight someone better and this and that but you dont earn a fight vs rampage coming off the street, believe me.. soon enough kimbo will get a title shot at someone.. you dont think he wants to fight better people? i mean you non business thinking brains out there have no clue.. why would a manager of someone already well respected set up a fight with kimbo ? if they lose they lose WAY more than just a fight to kimbo… let him earn his respect and he’ll get his time to shine.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:03:10 from 70.156.210.140
1.I ….. dont know what to say… Is this guy human??????????????????????????????????
Wow……………
in 2-17-2008 at 02:03:13 from 216.145.138.16
Hmmm..Exactly what I thought would happen. Tank needs to go ahead and just give it up. And Slice needs to fight someone with a little more talent.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:03:29 from 99.225.76.4
Also, did anyone else think Kimbo was being very aggressive and disrespectful to the referee? Few time, I saw him practically push the referees hands off…no respect…in the end this guy’s just a punk off the street who is soon going to learn his lesson when he goes up against a real mma fighter.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:04:40 from 76.107.32.148
raw power!
in 2-17-2008 at 02:08:34 from 70.70.133.73
Thank you for the video
in 2-17-2008 at 02:12:31 from 75.153.179.33
What was the ref saying at the start sounded weird
in 2-17-2008 at 02:13:13 from 74.15.31.196
HAHA exactly how 95% of all fans thought it would go.. Tank retire… we’ve seen you get in “the best shape we’ve ever seen you in” a couple of times now.. and you can block uppercuts.. you go in grabbin’ and pawin’ and get cracked.. and not once.. not twice but THREE times… dude you had a good run back when…. *thinks about it* well never.. anytime you’ve fought a more all-around-fighter than you and you lost… more than once.. RESPECT for steppin in the ring/octagon forsure.. and the training for the fight.. but you’re done, for real.. take the money and get bandaged up! become security dude.. can make lots of money lol
in 2-17-2008 at 02:13:39 from 76.20.38.130
thank u man i appreciate it
in 2-17-2008 at 02:14:36 from 141.213.196.245
announcer: “Controversy already. Tank’s mouthpiece came off.”
Kimbo: [picks it up and throws it out of the octagon]
PLUS kimbo punched to the back of the head AND stomped on tank’s head when he was down…both illegal moves
in 2-17-2008 at 02:17:58 from 75.186.62.250
Ass woopin
in 2-17-2008 at 02:20:29 from 75.83.156.57
Wow….Such crap!!!!!
I actually was looking forward to this fight, because I gave Kimbo the benefit of the doubt that the last “Tap knock out” was NOT rigged. THEN…
I saw todays fight with Tank and KNOW!! Showtime is the new WWE. They obviously put a ton of money to market Kimbo. Lets all admit he sells tickets, but it is way too obvious that it is rigged. (Watch the slow mo..)
Tank is a bad actor, but made some $$$$$ good for Tank =)
in 2-17-2008 at 02:20:50 from 74.32.214.158
Fuck, you got this video up fast.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:25:02 from 24.12.73.124
woot first!
in 2-17-2008 at 02:26:31 from 72.205.195.13
Tank’s secondary game-plan was to… make out with the canvas! Decent, Expected. The big question: will Kimbo fight a good fighter now?
in 2-17-2008 at 02:26:45 from 64.58.31.74
Who hasn’t beat Tank?
in 2-17-2008 at 02:27:15 from 65.127.37.215
kimbo 1-2′ed him in the back of the head lol
in 2-17-2008 at 02:27:22 from 75.2.222.62
This was almost a guaranteed win for Kimbo, fighting against the less agile Abott. I’m waiting for a opponent that’s in Kimbos class.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:29:30 from 68.78.180.178
I guess he is street certified now. Still not mma certified though.
Can you fight without a mouthpiece is that even legal?
in 2-17-2008 at 02:29:40 from 75.47.244.74
Wow!
Can you believe, it he actually knocked out the old washed up Tank, who has won how many fights recently? Didn’t see that one coming. It’s like the six grade bully pickin a fight with a first grader. Look I consider myself a Kimbo fan, and believe the guy realy is darn good. So enough with the lame matches, let him work his way up the ranks, which shouldn’t take too long, and then start fighting some of the true mma big doggs. Then he will be legit in the cage. What say ye?
in 2-17-2008 at 02:30:32 from 12.210.183.226
i guess they’ll have to get rich gannon to cage the beast…lol
in 2-17-2008 at 02:31:18 from 208.100.132.126
Holy Shit. Tank is such a bitch. That was hilarious. GOOOOOOOOOO Kimbo. Bring on some better opponents for Kimbo. Tank’s like a little 12 year old girl, but with worse cardio.
in 2-17-2008 at 02:33:21 from 24.63.110.96
tank is a joke
and kimbo
wait until he fights a real mma fighter
in 2-17-2008 at 02:34:34 from 216.145.138.16
Who do you think is next for him? I wonder if the UFC is interested in him at all..
in 2-17-2008 at 02:35:02 from 74.210.84.73
KTFO!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 02:43:34 from 68.95.131.17
Kimbo vs Brandon Vera,Paul Buentello
in 2-17-2008 at 03:02:21 from 74.185.57.199
Kimbo Slice vs. Rampage Jackson. That would be a GREAT fight!
in 2-17-2008 at 03:06:28 from 67.186.44.44
Kimbo is making Elite XC alot of money because alot of new and uneducated MMA fans think he is going to be the next big thing so the fans keep going to see him and continue to buy the pay per views. So why would Elite XC put him in with any reputable opponent that might beat him? They wouldn’t at this point, he’s making them too much cash. If Kimbo would have lost to Tank Abbott, Elite XC would have lost alot of future viewers and that means losing alot of money.
in 2-17-2008 at 03:10:01 from 71.170.222.50
Damn son the man boobs on Tank was swinging , but nothing hit. Kimbo Slice has some fists, but I must say sometimes you need talent to face to prove yourself. How about that Dwight Howard Superman 2008 Dunk winner
in 2-17-2008 at 03:10:32 from 207.119.60.114
Tank grabbed his ankle and Kimbo stepped out, head stomp are you blind.
in 2-17-2008 at 03:14:16 from 69.224.155.35
Kimbo needs to fight Brock this year….if he proves himself there, then bring on Tim Sylvias ass.
in 2-17-2008 at 03:29:47 from 71.12.170.27
kimbo is the man
in 2-17-2008 at 03:41:56 from 67.49.190.101
Kimbo was sharp and accurate with the strikes. I think Kimbo will be a champion someday soon.
in 2-17-2008 at 04:16:47 from 75.24.248.107
Kimbo Slice vs. Rickson Gracie. Rickson’s been waiting for the money and Kimbo can bring it. It’s like Old School MMA. The boxer vs. the jiu jitsu guy. But Rickson would either have to beef up or Kimbo slim down. Maybe a fight at 200.
in 2-17-2008 at 04:28:58 from 24.29.166.27
you bitches 4got tank was doin that to bros 10 years ago he is just to old anymore…..kimbo is a beast!!!!!!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 04:32:59 from 76.27.82.127
So Kimbo has beaten another fat, washed up fighter. I can’t believe people think he’s so great if you do then you’re a fool. All he’s done is show he can beat up fat old men. He wouldn’t stand a chance in the UFC and as long as he’s fighting for Elite XC he will keep on fighting losers.
in 2-17-2008 at 04:36:08 from 75.83.156.57
RIGGED!!!!
The people on this Blog are retarded!! They say fight Brock? Tim Silvia? Haha dude diffrent companies diffrent contracts!!
Kimbo is the marketing ploy for Showtime. PERIOD. He will not fight anyone that can beat him. They will make sure of it. And if they can beat him like…TANK they will pay $$$$ for them to take a fall. Like tonight’s fight. Anyone that has watch MMA knows Tank has a chin. And Mike Tyson in his prime couldn’t even Knock TANK with those “Taps” Kimbo hit him with. One knock down was even a shoulder push!! What crap!!!
RIGGED!!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 04:45:43 from 69.208.13.137
Tank did win the rematch right after this fight. He met Kimbo at Arbys and tank ate 9 Arbys Cheddar & Bacon sandwiches, 6 apple turnovers, 5 potato cakes and 11 Jamocha shakes. Kimbo threw up just watching that fatass gorge himself. Tank is still the Undisputed Swine of the World.
in 2-17-2008 at 05:49:11 from 98.203.103.241
men i wanna see these guy fight someone of the caliver of andrei arlovski in terms of speed and power, i dont think kimbo will be able to survive one round, he might have the tools to become an average mma fighter, but the needs experience first
in 2-17-2008 at 06:20:07 from 76.113.53.13
Kimbo is a joke. I can’t believe Bas is wasting time with him. Come on Bas, how much of a cut of his pay are u getting?
in 2-17-2008 at 07:03:47 from 66.90.137.182
Guys, KIMBO is EXCITING. And honestly, thats what this sport needs, a heavyweight with explosive hands and a do or die attitude. Bas is the best in the business and I would love to see Kimbo run the heavyweight division. He stood and banged, instead of playing it smart, and he made tank look like a washed up rookie. I will call it now,.. and remember this,… KIMBO SLICE IS THE YOUNG MIKE TYSON OF BOXING
in 2-17-2008 at 07:17:55 from 89.243.233.101
Bring on Rampage Jackson? Are you serious? Rampage is 30 lbs lighter, yet he’ll hand Kimbo his ass. I like Kimbo, but lets not get carried away here…
in 2-17-2008 at 07:39:58 from 12.210.183.226
kimbo’s the man!!! i don’t think so.. he beat a shitty out of shape tank abbott who was gased in like 12 seconds..watch the inside fight with kimbo vs. Sean Gannon.. fat out of shape cop who tossed kimbo around like a doll..and whoever said kimbo vs. rampage, what the hell are you smoking kimbo fights between 230-260 lbs. i’m just waiting till they put him against a real mma heavyweight…i hate tim sylvia, but he would probally put it on kimbo slice…
in 2-17-2008 at 08:35:36 from 78.150.125.15
OMG, i way overated Tank hes rubbish. Kimbo should Fight Fedor next!
in 2-17-2008 at 09:33:10 from 24.14.8.208
great vid!!!!! thanks man!!!!!!!!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 10:02:59 from 66.188.126.79
They ought to put Kimbo up against Arlovski or Tim Sylvia. They have excellent striking skills that Kimbo could match up against.
in 2-17-2008 at 10:16:09 from 24.225.221.64
Tank is just way too old!
10 years ago this would ba a great fight but now….OLD!
in 2-17-2008 at 10:17:27 from 24.57.69.29
OK OK enough with the Kimbo needs to fight someone good we know that already lol FUCk thats all i hear look at all these comments its the same thing said over and over again Kimbo will get his chance to fight a real opponent and HANPOWER as for your comment about the ref he was just really hyped to beat Tank’s ass i dont think he did it out of disrespect Tank talked alot of shit and Kimbo wanted to finish him off> In the end it hapopened how i thought it would Tank got owned now give Kimbo some time and he will fight someone better Lesnar got to fight such a good ooppenent because he was hyped up plus he was an amazing wrestler Dana white created that fight for one reason MONEY!!!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 10:19:29 from 70.228.197.58
Alright next fight Kimbo vs Lesnar. That would be a good fight.
in 2-17-2008 at 10:26:42 from 99.248.66.175
In a hypothetical fight who do you think would have won, the Royce Gracie of 93-94 or today’s Kimbo??
in 2-17-2008 at 11:17:58 from 24.128.243.173
That was a pretty poor fight. I look foward to seeing Kimbo more. I have been watching Kimbo since his days in the backyard on Break .com. I feel bad for Tank, he was a hell of a fighter in his day. Kimbo is here to take over where he left off,
in 2-17-2008 at 13:07:55 from 74.213.65.22
Kimbo is an ok street fighter well then again so was tank in his prime. The truth of the matter is that when kimbo steps in with a quality contender he is going to get beat. nice example when an outsider steps in with a real mma athelete Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir. Kimbo here is a nice piece of advice ditch Bas Rutten and head for a real camp like american top team which is in florida or maybe up north to jersey to Jorge Riveras shcool these are places where Kimbo can develop a ground game instead of a beat down place like Bas Ruttens camp. Think about it what happend to Bas in the UFC he din’t live up to the hipe (No ground game)
in 2-17-2008 at 13:23:09 from 66.110.237.157
Kimbo Gets His Bread please tell me you did not just compare Couture to Tank… There are no similarities what-so-ever aside from being in their 40’s. Couture has evolved and become a force, Tank has remained a street fighter and is still a farce. As for Tank’s chin, it has been quite suspect over his last few fights (not to mention the fact that there is already controversy over the reality of Kimbo’s knockout). Kimbo is a joke and will never amount to anything other than a marketing scheme.
in 2-17-2008 at 14:06:39 from 68.101.132.237
Every time I see tank fighting I think to myself “WHAT A WAIST OF TIME” This guy should’ve retired fighting after his loss to Belfort in 1997.
in 2-17-2008 at 15:17:12 from 207.255.102.70
Kimbo is strong and can fight, against ancient nothings. watch what happens when he fights a real MMA opponent. It’s alot different ballgame when submission come in to play!
in 2-17-2008 at 15:17:49 from 67.81.145.168
One word – RIGGED!!!!!!!
There’s no doubt in my mind that this match was RIGGED! It’s a disgrace to the sport! You don’t see this garbage happening on UFC!
Tank is fat, out of shape, and old.. but he doesn’t SUCK A** like this matches makes it seem, he can still fight!
I saw a promo vid that showed Tank training.. running up some street and then shadow boxing. When I saw this, I knew something was wrong, because Tank was throwing punches like a 3 year old! His eye contact was straight at the camera while he was punching to his left side! This is because it was RIGGED from the beginning!!
STAY WITH UFC!! ELITE XC IS BS!!!!!!!!!
in 2-17-2008 at 15:20:32 from 66.235.49.111
Any UFC Heavyweight with Jiu Jitsu would snap Kimbo’s arm off.
Gonzaga, Werdum, Nog, Mir would just let him over punch himself tired and then get sub’d.
Not a fair fight? Then put him in there with a striker like Kongo. Kongo isn’t a fat old man with zero cardio. Kongo would head kick Slice’s beard into the 5th row.
I understand Slice wanting to get into MMA and starting off easy with guys like Bo Cantrell and Tank Abbott. But, don’t try to fool the public claiming this guy has the game to fight top division MMA guys with real skills.
in 2-17-2008 at 15:33:55 from 75.43.212.226
kimbo didnt throw tanks mouthpeice out of the ring it was a peice of trash that a fan threw in the ring.
in 2-17-2008 at 15:37:40 from 24.175.62.229
kimbo gets his bread lol you cant compare randy to tank thats like comparing hightower to fedor i mean come on REALLY. tank is an out of shape old drunk he never stood a chance.
in 2-17-2008 at 15:50:32 from 99.233.176.96
Thanks for the Vid.
Kimbo is a mma joke and will never beat anyone legitimate. But as far as this fight goes; he did knock out Tank fairly. There was no head stomp, he simply pulled his leg out and stepped back; and there was definitely no lay down, Tank got caught good. Kimbo deserves credit like everyone else for stepping in the octagon. Having said that, Kimbo will never amount to anything in mma other than a sideshow because any semi talented fighter will put him away within one round.
in 2-17-2008 at 16:15:30 from 76.235.163.163
Thank you for posting the Fight. YES Tank is washed up and yes Kimbo hasn’t fought anyone. But to be honest is he supposed to challange for the title in only his 2nd MMA fight. Really everyone if it went to the ground he would be a fish out of water. But wasn’t Tim Silvia lost a few weeks back and he’s been in the game for a minute.Minoturo showed Silvia how it’s done. Be Lesnar or Slice when they face anyone with skills it only result in a lose for them. But with time they will get better.
in 2-17-2008 at 17:10:09 from 68.110.66.5

Brock Lesnar deserves absolutely no respect. He did steroids. Once he fails at one profession he moves on. WWE, NFL(where he failed his steroid test), and now MMA.
Kimbo is at least legitly ripped and not on a drug that makes you go haywire and still lose.
in 2-17-2008 at 17:50:01 from 70.189.63.248
Kimbo is a good fighter but he is not an mma star yet. But yet in mma there are stars who are standup fighters like Chuck Liddell. Kimbo is a standup fighter like Chuck but he will have to learn to defend takedowns to utilize his great boxing skills. Like any legends in boxing or mma you have to bring a fighter into it in baby steps. Remember Bas Rutten is his trainer and he will get Kimbo well trained in mma before he has to fight people who are black belts in Ju Jitsu such as Frank Mir or been as experienced as Tim Silvia. I think maybe in the next couple of years it will be fun to watch Kimbo knock a couple people out but it will take him a while to be a full mma star. When that happens i would tell any heavyweight to watch out cause kimbo will be the real deal.
in 2-17-2008 at 18:05:24 from 66.189.96.24
i fuckin knew it! that’s all i gotta say to the tank abbot fans. HAHAHAH!
in 2-17-2008 at 18:30:01 from 70.156.203.64
Kimbo is GARBAGE. he fights GARBAGE people and he thinks he is hard.. WHAT A GARBAGE FIGHTER. YOU KNOW ITS TRUE>
in 2-17-2008 at 19:22:01 from 24.147.109.3
All of you pieces of shit people who think tank is a knock off should just shoot your self in your heads, we’re talking about a man who has some of the sickest knock outs in all of mma. And for kimbo slice, it’s only a matter of time before he has all of the tools he needs to take on bigger and badder fighters in the mma world… I mean come the fuck on, look a chuck liddel, Brawler, UFC Former champ, Rampage Jackson, Brawler, UFC Champion, you shouldn’t down this man because he came from a brawling back ground!!!! Some of the best started that way and lost to grapplers and came back not giving up the Brawler side but just coming back with a good defence to the grappling side of the fight…..
Kimbo slice is in the spot light right now and I have a feeling that he will be for a very very long time because of his style and crazy hitting power…..
in 2-17-2008 at 19:42:53 from 142.162.203.87
the third knockdown smelled like a dive. tank pussed out.
in 2-17-2008 at 19:58:48 from 74.166.182.81
you guys need to just chill out.look at some of the top guys in the ufc and other organizations out there,roger huerta fought about 5 or 6 times in 2007 a bunch of nobodies 2008 he gets a shot at clay guida and won.mike tyson fought a bunch of bums to they got to build up the mans record stop hating and start congradulating him.
in 2-17-2008 at 20:08:52 from 75.57.248.52
I’m not at all impressed. Kimbo is fighting the wrong dudes, proving nothing at all. Look at Tank? Are you guys seriously in awe that Kimbo ran through his old ass. C’mon! Kimbo needs to get serious and fight someone with BJJ background or somethin to prove that he can hang with real mma fighters.
in 2-17-2008 at 20:26:09 from 70.48.233.38
that wasnt even entertaining.. how pathetic
in 2-17-2008 at 20:59:01 from 76.115.119.48
Kimbo maybe “garbage” at the MMA level but he hits hucking FARD!! Shows how tough Sean Gannon is.. Have you seen that shit???
in 2-17-2008 at 21:17:43 from 75.87.253.64
I do not care that Tank lost, but I truly hate the fact that Kimbo SLice won. I cannot wait until someone kicks Kimbo’s ass all over the cage.I can’t even stand to look at Slice. He makes me want to puke.
in 2-17-2008 at 21:22:01 from 71.92.217.123
kimbo will knockout anyone in the ufc!!
in 2-17-2008 at 21:59:10 from 76.23.95.30
If Kimbo gets beat it will have to be on a submission hold. He is very aggressive and can punch real hard.
in 2-17-2008 at 22:00:31 from 70.21.33.11
Tank has always had lots of potential, he just never fulfilled it.
The fact that he gets gassed out in less than one minute is inexcusable.
in 2-17-2008 at 22:47:45 from 98.203.86.126
I dont know why people are hating!!! everyone knows that kimbo is not a true mma fighter yet!! but in due time give him a chance to proove himself…
who actualy thought tank was going to win this fight was on some crack!!! kimbo still needs to get his respect as a fighter becuase anyone steeping to a cage needs some respect !!! go kimbo !!! lets just see how he does with a real mma fighter!!! till then their will be doubts!
in 2-17-2008 at 22:54:49 from 205.188.116.66
all of u people are talkin shit about Kimbo and saying how he should fight a real fighter…yea well all the fans that were there had wanted to see this fight..so go bitch at them. I bet if any one of u stepped into the ring with Kimbo he’d snap you all in half
in 2-17-2008 at 22:58:45 from 142.167.54.166
Props to Kimbo, but the obvious question is “So What?” Three Kimbo fights later and we’re no closer to knowing if Kimbo can be a real player. Hell, we learned more about Lesner’s potential from his one loss than we have about Kimbo from his three wins.
in 2-17-2008 at 23:26:57 from 76.113.36.195
It looks like KS has improved since his days on youtube. Working with Bas will improve his game, but he will have to venture out and improve his ground game by working with some jits fighters. The problem is that eventually people will pick up on his weaknesses after fighting him. He seems to go back to his right hand when he really wants to put out the lights (see 2:01, 2:08, 2:11). If he fights someone who can dodge that and follow with a very heavy left hook, well we’ll just have to see. As for him being part of Elite XC, it is great for MMA since people have an option other than WEC or UFC; PPV is expensive. And, the fighters may want a change also. I do hope he fights someone better next time, and maybe Elite will attract some credible talent after this. Kimbo v. Ortiz? It sure would get people talking. Ortiz has been talking shit about him and his UFC contract is almost up.
in 2-17-2008 at 23:36:06 from 67.34.113.62
All u guys that talk crap about Kimbo, …this guy is not jsut a street fighter he is known at all good boxing and MMA gyms in Miami because he traisn in them…he didnt get his skills from the streets…HE OWNED tank on the feet…tank didnt land one freaking punch, he only landed one little jab, thats PATHETIC….
in 2-18-2008 at 00:17:40 from 75.143.210.23
I have been following Kimbo’s street fights for a while, he has the toughness and he craves the fight. I think he is going to hit the top sooner than expected. he’s still a beast though. but he has improved. If he continues to sharpen his skills he could be a big hitter in this game. This guy just wants to destroy. should make for some interesting fights to come, don’t you think?
in 2-18-2008 at 00:39:37 from 67.71.124.39
WOW!!!!!! I honestly thought Tank had a chance, I think the Tank 10 years ago who fought Oleg Taktarov may of had a better showing….Tank retire buddy, it’s over.
in 2-18-2008 at 01:11:20 from 76.108.27.2
Unfortunately Tank Abbott fell off long ago this wasnt much of a fight. A real fight would be Kimbo vs Randy Couture. But that will be unlikely because even Kimbo’s managers know Kimbo wouldnt last 10 second on his feet with Randy. BOTTOM LINE!!!
in 2-18-2008 at 01:32:37 from 200.43.129.253
muy bueno kimbo slice la mejor a todo de mundo y cual a mike tyson
in 2-18-2008 at 01:49:14 from 209.216.153.29
ok lets see any 1 of u dick heads get in the cage with kimbo ya i dont see it happening kimbo is the next best thing wait till he trains a little more and works his way to the top yall are haters and you will see u cant start in the ufc and expect to fight any1 to great he has to earn that so quick the bitchin dayum
in 2-18-2008 at 02:30:00 from 68.204.248.110
LOL- I read through so many of these comments. 1st… You don’t come into any sport and get BIG names to come out and play. Plain and simple it doesn’t happen. Tank was a step to what ever the powers that be deem is the next step on the ladder.
#2 Tank came out like he always has. Head down arms flying hoping to run over his opponent. Remember most of Tanks wins were inside the first few moments of a given round. He “was” a bulldozer. He DID land at least one punch and it didn’t so much as make Kimbo blink. In the end the Tank ran into a wall of muscle. 260 some odd pounds of flab vs 230 lbs of ripped flesh. Tank KNEW he was out classed body wise and he KNEW that if he couldn’t drop Kimbo in the 1st few seconds he was done. Maybe he did half take a fall. If he did though its cause he knew he was going to get destroyed.
#3 Who knows how his ground game will be. He’ll get it or he wont. Some of these guys have to be able to get him to the matt in oder to get these submissions. I for one wouldn’t look forward trying to make it past Kimbo sledge hammer hands.
Last you’ll note that he said Tank was one of his dream fights as was Tyson. We all remember Tank back in the day and would jump up and down watching him run over people. I’m sure Kimbo was just like that watching Tank in the day. He said it himself.
We shall see. His opponent profile DID just expand. Make it fast Kimbo! Don’t make everyone wait too long!
in 2-18-2008 at 03:05:31 from 24.70.95.205
4 the comment on garbage (edmondson) the reason 4 that comment is because u were tired of having black kids giving u a beat down all ur childhood life and now all u can do is talk smack … wake up and smell the coffee, So u wont be so tired the next time u get ur ass kicked by my baby sister… and for club gang , the only thing that is rigged is your weak ass mouth not kimbos chin, think u have been doin a goog J O B
in 2-18-2008 at 03:58:26 from 72.26.151.41
I think Kimbo is improving somewhat. Tough to tell when you got subpar opponents. And i really dont think he has enough discipline to fight in a higher organization. Not yet anyways.
in 2-18-2008 at 04:56:32 from 72.77.89.13
Can we all remember this is Kimbo’s 2nd MMA fight!!!!!!!!
As with all things out with the old and in with the new. Let us not forget when Tank first stepped on the scene he was doing the same thing to his opponents. A street fighter with limited skills knocking the shit out of people. Styles make fights, if you think for one minute that Bas Rutten is teaching Kimbo stand up skills only then your smart enough to be his next opponent!
in 2-18-2008 at 07:09:28 from 12.210.183.226
why is everybody tryin to put kimbo slice up against 205ers
in 2-18-2008 at 07:29:40 from 65.204.209.237
Ok, yes Kimbo has some boxing skills, and yes he brings in the cash because people want to see the flying fist of fury. But just like all who has seen him fight, backyard or not Kimbo is a stand up fighter right now and if and this is a big “IF” he was to step up to a real MMA fighter I belive he would have trouble. So like all business minded managers they are letting him get the feel for the ring. Just watch the next fights to come will be with more and more fighters with ground game. Then we will see what happens. But even then you still have to watch out for Kimbos quick punch knockout, I dont give a dam who you are just like Tyson when you fight someone like him or Kimbo you miss a slip and you get dazed the question is can you stay focused enough to come out of it becuase if not they will see the eyes and be on you like a fricken junk yard dog!!!!!
in 2-18-2008 at 08:34:13 from 72.243.141.17
That was such a waste. Kimbo is too good of a boxer, hell he used to knock people out bare-knuckle. Tank had absolutely no business being in that “ring”.
in 2-18-2008 at 08:46:09 from 167.206.169.135
The fight between Kimbo and Abbott was surely a no-brainer. I believe that the fight needed to happen for the simple fact that Kimbo needs to build his ranking and knowledge of fighting by going up against different opponents with different styles in which he may ahcieve a better fighting style for himself. I’d like to see him fight as much fighters he can, even if it means fighting has-beens’, so that he may one day fight a real professional of the sport. So the fight against Kimbo wasn’t wasted at all. Plus I like to watch Kimbo kick the sh*t out of people. 
in 2-18-2008 at 08:54:43 from 203.192.82.98
Speculation last night centered on a potential matchup against Shamrock for Slice’s next fight. Again, Shamrock is past his prime but his name-recognition and skill set make this a very good bout from a variety of perspectives. Shamrock can not only stand and bang but he can work on the ground as well. He’s a crafty veteran and would be a formidable matchup for Slice. Like Abbott, however, Shamrock is over 40. The benefits of being younger should be Slice’s main advantage. But, this is certainly no gimme.
in 2-18-2008 at 10:04:12 from 167.230.104.90
kimbo is a bully fighting old people/flunkies. i’d like to see him go against UFC fighter Tito Ortiz … or the likes.
in 2-18-2008 at 10:28:24 from 68.79.165.186
Thanks for posting this fight, Man I would really like to see this guy fight Brock lesnar!
in 2-18-2008 at 12:17:01 from 65.112.224.138
Damn I way wrong on this! I don’t wanna talk about controversy or rigging but Tank got his clock cleaned.
Now put Kimbo against some ex champs and go from there.
Slice sure lost some weight and was quicker, that is something I didn’t see coming. He just might be LEGITIMATE.
C’mon EliteXC, put him up against a contender! And come back to Corpus Christi, TX!!!!!!
in 2-18-2008 at 12:40:04 from 99.232.81.132
What a joke. Tank is 42 yrs old man, alcoholic, out of shape, without a team and sad. Kimbo is joke. Kimbo and his team aree a joke. not respect for kimbo or his team.
in 2-18-2008 at 13:18:54 from 74.244.124.204
Brock destroyed MIR. His unexperience hurt him, but watch out for Brock after he focuses on his mistakes. Brock vs. Kimbo now that would be exciting but my vote would go to Brock. Sean Gannon owned Kimbo.
in 2-18-2008 at 13:40:57 from 72.95.176.204
kimbo didn’t stomp on him, he was pulling his leg out of tanks hands.
in 2-18-2008 at 15:48:57 from 74.57.235.14
I would like to see kimbo with sylvia ,i got to give it to him he did what he should have done and i noticed that tank was actually a siting duck ,i want to see kimbo fight a ufc fighter and yes i doo respect more lesnar because he fought a real fighter and as for couture yes his old but didn’t quite and is still fighter ,tank took a long retirement and came back
soo kimbo if you want to prove your the best fight the best not the oldtimerssssss
in 2-18-2008 at 17:03:13 from 24.131.186.243
even if he is really old its still a big win for kimbo
in 2-18-2008 at 17:12:54 from 68.46.200.101
I’m tired of people trying to come up with reasons why kimbo sucks. Everyone says that tank is too old; he’s younger than couture and couture came better than he was before. Kimbo is just good he has tremendous handspeed and power and once he gets a ground game he’ll be unstoppable
in 2-18-2008 at 17:57:34 from 24.2.12.255
No more gas in the Tank, give it up buddy. I understand you need money but why degregate your brawling title by being destroyed by another lousy street brawler. For F’s sake someone please put a real MMA fighter against Kimbo so we can watch him lose and shut everyone the F up. Oh thats right, he’s eliteXC cash cow, so he wont get anyone decent who has a chance to beat him, just to keep the money rolling in. BS!
in 2-18-2008 at 18:02:56 from 209.239.15.54
Kimbo is a big fat dumb dink toucher from the hood…any real MMA fighter will tool this guy. Just look at Brocks fight from the ufc like 2 weeks ago!
in 2-18-2008 at 18:15:07 from 76.244.175.98
Kimbo whooped his ass! and all you kimbo haters….kimbo would knock out tim sylvia and any heavyweight in the UFC! if kimbo ever gets a chance at fighting one of them ufc big bois….it’s over! kimbo on top little boyz!
in 2-18-2008 at 18:31:41 from 24.21.181.160
Ok the name is just to respond to the other guy, seriously Tank has no business fighting anymore he is old, out-of-shape, and only took this fight to get some money. And please, don’t compare him to Randy Coture, yeah he’s old to but look at him, mma is in his blood and he works hard for it… Tank got the call and prolly rolled of his cheetos encrusted couch to earn some paper. Kimbos skills have not been showcased at all, and untill that time, he won’t be taken seriously by avid mma fans.
in 2-18-2008 at 20:17:39 from 76.19.34.129
staged fight… kimbo would kick his ass…. however.. this was obviously a staged fight…. watch tank go down… pitiful
in 2-18-2008 at 22:39:42 from 76.112.161.0
Give Kimbo some respect at least he’s out there fighting
in 2-18-2008 at 23:09:43 from 218.111.169.171
holy crap… tank aint no pussy… look at Kimbo move, you don’t see that many fighters moving like that in the cage anymore. He literally ducked the punch and hammered his fist in. Kimbo is definitely not lacking in speed.
in 2-18-2008 at 23:27:09 from 24.225.221.64
Gracie vs kimbo 12-15 years ago…..Gracie woild grab that beard and tear it off. Then he would submit him!
Kimbo looks very good in his stand up.
Tank……………….OLD!
in 2-18-2008 at 23:52:57 from 71.206.84.18
WELL, people stop the hatting, Kimbo Slice is the ultimate street fighter right now. I can’t wait for him to prove himself against a real apponents. I do agree Tank is nothing to brag about, he never stood a chance.
in 2-19-2008 at 02:12:21 from 76.88.132.74
KIMBO! KIMBO! KIMBO! give the guy some cred guys. its only his SECOND mma fight.sure he fights and AWESOMELY KOs an ol tank, but its ONLY his 2nd fight. who did chuck beat in his sec fight? what about matt hughes? tim silvia? rampage? i for one is pulling for kimbo all the way, for him to take his fighting off the streets and into the cage should earn him mad respect already.and in my opinion, kimbo is a real “fighter”. with all the fighting in his past, and all the professional training hes getting now,with all the experience he will be getting with more fights, just imagine what kinda fighter he will be after 10 fights.as long as he stays straight. what kinda past did tim silvia have before he trained to LEARN how to fight. correct me if im wrong, but from what i remember he couldnt fight for sh!t, and he wanted to learn. and that SOB became the UFC champ.HA! i say if tim can, so can kimbo.
in 2-19-2008 at 02:33:59 from 75.80.118.2
Kimbo might be a great fighter but until he fights a current mma challenger we’ll never know. He lost to Gannon and one of those giant Russian boxers(in the boxing ring). Truth is he knew Tank couldn’t hurt him,unless he got into a time machine and went back to 1995. Some people want to say age is not a factor and point out Randy Couture as an example. However Randy treats his body ,when in training like a vintage race car.Tank on the other hand treats his like a 1966 diesel dump truck. Kimbo needs to jump into the ufc and stop baby steppin his mma career. I remember when Forrest Griffin jumped in off the reality show .Plenty of guys wanted to fight him including Tito Ortiz.Forrest maned up and went for it and win or lose is well respected. The only one slowing Kimbo is Kimbo . I give him credit for his conditioning .Now I just want to see a good fight.
in 2-19-2008 at 03:30:16 from 71.205.135.12
Think about it…. Gannon beat kimbo’s ass. Soon after Gannon got a MMA shot and got his ass handed to him in the cage. Gannon got totally destroyed when he fought other MMA fighters. Now if Gannon gave Kimbo a beating and got beat down himself in the MMA game what do you think is going to happen to Kimbo. But another thing you can look at is Kimbo is working on his ground game and if he can brush up on his ground work enough to defend submissions and try to keep it a stand up fight like chuck liddel or other big stand up strikers than kimbo might be a force. We all know Kimbo does have a strong chin and can hit like a truck. So it all depends on Kimbo but if he keeps working on his ground game and keeps up on cardio I think he could make it in the MMA world.
in 2-19-2008 at 05:58:24 from 76.88.188.148
Why the hell would they put a washed up fighter with Kimbo. Some say he that good and you can put him in with anyone, try go to japan and fight Fedor Emelyanenko. They should have put someone with more grappling skills that wont trade punches….
in 2-19-2008 at 08:26:28 from 24.225.221.64
Kimbo has fast accurate hands watch the video a few times.
Impressive!
in 2-19-2008 at 11:17:53 from 76.114.68.66
I was never impressed by Tank, but his last few fights are impressively pathetic. Kimbo is a strong boxer, but no MMA fighter. He might survive in the game while he takes on weaker dudes, but I doubt he can take any top 20 heavy-weight fighter.
in 2-19-2008 at 12:25:06 from 57.69.22.246
tank has won 1 of his last 9, and been ko’d or subbed in each loss. his last semi-meaningful win was in 1998. it’s not that tank sucks ’cause he’s old. he sucks, and he’s old.
in 2-19-2008 at 13:18:15 from 64.239.154.138
C’mon guys, “Kimbo is not an MMA fighter, he sucks, he needs to fight someone great…” Kimbo just started MMA and he’s training with Bas. Bas isn’t dumb and he’s not going to put a newly pro MMA fighter against a top tier guy right away. Kimbo will have more fights against lower level people or washed up guys… then he’ll fight great fighters. Give him the respect deserved. Don’t expect him to jump straight in to MMA and be an instant champion. He has all the abilities to do it in the future after more preperation.
in 2-19-2008 at 14:36:46 from 66.241.131.130
Well said “Kimbo Gets His Bread”
in 2-19-2008 at 16:11:25 from 68.213.133.105
Kimbo has broad the brawl fighters into respect…. this is were mma is going to evolve now fighters are only allowed a certain amount of time in the ground that means that brawling boxing scraps and dirty boxing and other forms of fighting on the ground are gone have to be developed.
in 2-19-2008 at 16:52:59 from 142.179.159.87
Let me remind everybody the this is Kimbo’s second sanctioned fight. Give the guy a few warm up fights before you start saying he needs to fight Randy or Fedor.
SECOND FIGHT
He’s going to have opponents chosen by his management team that he matches up well against. If you were his manager who would you have him fight?
Every win will bring better competition and, if he wins, more respect.
Haters…
in 2-19-2008 at 17:37:28 from 24.66.94.142
Yeah Kimbo did ok. If he can create distance between himself and his opponent, his strikes are hard to defend. Tank has no clinch therefore Kimbo had his way with him. Once Kimbo fights an opponent with a good close defense, Kimbos’s lack of training will become evident. That’s why they don’t want to pit him against a good bjj, wrestler type fighter just yet. Even in the post fight interview Bas admits that Kimbo needs a few more fights before he can stand in there with the elite. They’ll feed Kimbo a few more cans before we see an ultimate match-up. Tanks got to retire with some dignity. When he was younger his youthful power made up for his lack of skills. Theres no more eye of the tiger in Tank. Now that he’s older it’s clear that it’s time for Tank to hang up the gloves. Kudos for the effort though.
in 2-19-2008 at 18:07:48 from 132.160.227.10
Very true but why don’t they put him in the ring with a submission specialist. That is what MMA is all about, up and down games. I love the ground games more then 2 fights trying to knock each other out. Loved all the Royce Gracie matches!
in 2-19-2008 at 18:23:18 from 72.72.222.174
I think it’d be foolish to discredit Kimbo as a possible elite mma fighter. He’s a big, scary man that is pretty good at getting in his opponent’s head. All of his theatrics with the mouthguard in the ring were to just make tank wish he was still sucking on his momma’s tittie. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely think he’ll have his losses once he starts fighting the better opponents, but there’s no doubt they’ll have to respect his talent. He came in to mma just a while ago. Give him time, and he’ll be one entertaining guy to watch
in 2-19-2008 at 19:17:33 from 83.70.165.116
dats my man KIMBO SLICE
in 2-19-2008 at 20:01:40 from 12.206.178.159
wow he is improving compared to his old videos
he just needs to stop hitting people in the back of the head.
but yeah hes actually getting better

Kimbo VS. Bob Sapp?
in 2-20-2008 at 02:55:02 from 68.111.149.196
I think Kimbo should fight gannon again. if you havent seen that fight then watch it. i think its the only time ive seen kimbo give up after taking an ass kickin. HAHa
in 2-20-2008 at 04:06:11 from 76.115.199.89
Tank got effing owned lol, kimbo is overrated imo put him up against some real mma pro’s id like to see it, kimbo lost back in the day to sean gannon.. sean gannon was the only person kimbo fought who actually looked like he trained on the daily all the other guys kimbo fought look like fukking random tards… so yeah i been fallowing kimbos stuff for awhile it used to amuse me cause he fukking owned everyone but there all washed up people come on KIMBO IMPRESS US fight someone good not anyone washed up or hasbeens like ken shamrock go for the ufc heavyweight title!
in 2-20-2008 at 05:15:40 from 12.34.38.193
Come on people if you want to see if kimbo is as good as HE thinks he is. Get his ass in the UFC were the real fighters are, and go against Randy Couture. Kimbo would not last one round period………………………………………………………………………………………………….
in 2-20-2008 at 05:27:00 from 24.185.203.128
This is for the guy who think this was rigged, I must have watched the video like 20 times, first time tank fell it was from 2 solid upper cuts (then he got clocked in the back of the head)mind you by this point I sure he still had cobwebs in his head, second knockdown was from a right hand to the temple (flash knockdown)but as he was getting up he almost got caught with a ryu street fighter uppercut. Third, another right hand but again he gets up, the fourth one though was a beauty it was a sharp right cross to the chin or the button as boxers call it and he dropped like a sack of potatoes. Tank does have a solid chin, a fighter with less chin would not have gotten up 3 times against solid blows like that. In the beginning tank was throwing bombs but when he got hit he was just trying to survive.
in 2-20-2008 at 16:52:31 from 132.160.227.10
We all knew Tank was going down, end of story.
in 2-20-2008 at 18:18:15 from 98.195.57.116
Uh, one really in shape guy vs one really not in shape guy. If you had your money on Abbot, you must have been out of your mind.
Tank in the old days, maybe, but not this Tank.
I would like to see Kimbo beat the crap out of some of these jusitsu dudes in UFC etc. That would at least make it worth watching again.
in 2-20-2008 at 19:13:28 from 24.66.94.142
I love how every body thinks that kimbo is such a great fighter even though hes only had 3 professional MMA figths.how about you people wait until he fights anybody who has even the slightest bit of talent before you begin dry humping his leg. MMA fighters > Street Fighters. and dont act like he is a true mma fighter the ppv was called street certified.
in 2-21-2008 at 00:27:10 from 66.167.227.140
Dude, Tank didn’t get a chance to recover when Kimbo hit him in the back of the head. The judge fucked up and there needs to be a rematch. If you look at Tank after the punch to the head, he immediately slows down. Tank could have had this fight.
in 2-21-2008 at 01:33:54 from 76.88.132.74
most of you kimbo haters are just ignorant. put a new 2-0 mma fighter against a top notch heavyweight? that sounds stupid dosent it? see what you guys are saying? kimbo slice just got his career started and hes starting at the bottom like new fighter would you fools.THATS HOW IT WORKS.his performance each fight should decide his next level of opp.”put him in with a grappler, put him in with a grappler.”shit put kimbo and the grappler in the street, no ref and when your grappler is on his back, lets see him defend a footstomp to his face, or a kick to his head.from what i see already, thers no heavyweight in mma that has better hands than kimbo slice. period.
in 2-21-2008 at 05:56:57 from 76.88.132.74
and as for groundfighter’s and others comments about sean gannon, how long ago was that? you think just because gannon beat kimbo back then he will beat em everytime they fight? ha! what a bonehead comment.thats like saying GSP will never beat matt hughes after they first fought. WRONG. like saying the NYG wont beat the PATS in the superbowl cause they lost weeks ago to them. WRONG. kimbo is on his way to being a top notch mma fighter no matter where he fights. he is good for this young sport. hes got POTENTIAL to do well in mma and someday be a champion. thats why hes here. hes no donkey off the street who cant fight walking into a gym wanting to learn AKA TIM SYLVIA. who just so happen became a dominant UFC champ. yeah thats right. timmy the former ufc champ couldnt fight at all. kimbo has wayy more talent than tim, and now all he needs is the proper, professional training and more experience and fights under his belt.but kimbo is special. you know why? hes got muthaF*in STARPOWER. hes got more starpower than anyone in the hvy div, except for couture and fedor.kimbo and brock is makin the sport grow and far more entertaining. they are drawing all kinds of people in, even all you haters. and both have potential to be great mma fighters. kimbo is no joke. ill pay to see kimbo or brock to fight, but i wont drop a cent to watch gonzaga, mir, or congo fight if they EVER head a PPV.
in 2-21-2008 at 13:56:29 from 64.239.154.138
It seems like most of you skipped this… read it! “Kimbo is not an MMA fighter, he sucks, he needs to fight someone great…” Kimbo just started MMA and he’s training with Bas. Bas and Kimbo’s managers aren’t dumb and they’re not going to put a newly pro MMA fighter against a top tier guy right away.

in 2-22-2008 at 08:48:22 from 24.225.221.64
Tank has fought the best MMA fighters in the world.
Don Frye-UFC Champ
Dan Severn-UFC Hall of Fame
Oleg Taktarov-UFC Champ
Vitor Belfort
Yoshida
Frank Mir-UFC Champ
He is a Hall of Famer and has done good against the BEST fighters in the world. He is just old now watch Ultimate Ultimate 1996 Tank at his best.He loses in the final against Don Frye by sub if he didnt trip in the fight he would have won. He was pounding Frye. Give Tank his due Credit!

look the truth is Kimdo Slice will never be an elite MMA fighter because he will never do anything but swing, swing, swing. Just like abbott did in his younger days. KImbo will never learn a ground game and anytime he goes in the ring with any body that even has the slightest amount of ground skill he will get smashed. Just like Abbott did. Cro Cop is a perfect example of this he can not handle anyone with any kind of ground game.My problem with Kimbo is he runs his damn mouth to much he thinks he is the best but wont fight anybody but a bunch of has beens. I’m saying if you think you the greatest and all you can do is talk shit, get in the ring with a real MMA fighter And lets see what you got. How about Frank Mir. If kimbo can at least beat Frank I will retract all the things I said about Shit Talker Slice.

I Want To See More Kimbo Street Fights. Forget The Cage No Ones Gonna Give Him Respect Anyway.
in 2-22-2008 at 23:48:07 from 76.88.132.74
kimbos stand up is his best weapon. how can anyone say just because he swings,swings,swings he wont ever be a champ. if i remember correctly, the most popular and dominant fighter in the UFC in this era has been chuck liddel. and he just swings too. his stand up game is his forte. yeah and didnt chuck beat the great randy couture twice. chuck has no ground game, and if anyone really know a thing or two about throwing punches, you know kimbo throws much better than chuck.and as for cro cop, i dont remember fedor submitting him, or him getting beat in the ufc by submission.tim sylvia is best known for his striking and hes been the most dominant ufc champ before losing to couture.and if kimbo develops great take down defense like chuck and tim, he will be a serious threat because it will force his opp to stand up with him ALA CHUCK LIDDEL.
in 2-23-2008 at 00:28:07 from 71.204.108.79
How about a fight between Kimbo and Fedor Emelianenko?
in 2-23-2008 at 02:10:56 from 68.32.22.104
Kimbo has really great hands but isnt really an mma fighter YET!. Thats why they are giving him trash guys to fight. He is a huge name if he gets smashed and exposed this early those goes all that money. Its a business decision, once people get tired of watchin Kimbo smashing scrubs and demand some real competion for their ticket then he will move on. In the mean time MMA has to keep their gimic seemingly invincible.
in 2-23-2008 at 02:26:01 from 24.78.134.54
CUSTOMIKILLER i dont think you know what the hell your talking about kimbo is here just because of star power not because he is good. Sure he may have potential but he is 34 and the clock is ticking. by the way if he goes up against a grappler he could still get owned look how gracie owned all those huge guys. you only like kimbo because of those street fights. and MMA is above that your one of those people who boo when the fight goes to the growned. if you want to see fighters like Kimbo then start watching BUM FIGHTS and leave mma the sport will thank you.
in 2-23-2008 at 02:40:30 from 24.78.134.54
Kimbo cant keep up with these mma fighters there not normal guys these are people who are black belts and world class wrestlers and kickboxers and profesionals in muay tai just because he has heavy hands doesnt mean hes going to be succesful look at Joe Riggs
in 2-23-2008 at 08:49:43 from 24.225.221.64
Tank is a Hall of Famer
Kimbo is training with Bas Rutten and Kimbo is becoming the real deal.He has lightning fast hands and hits real hard.
Just like Brock Lesnar with some polish he will be very good.
in 2-23-2008 at 13:16:15 from 68.110.12.5
ah this fight was okay, over quick tank should get out of mma hes way to old and weak now
kimbo is a decent one sided striker to be honest kimbo really isnt that good he just shoots in and swings for the fences so when he actually fights someone with a decent chin in mma kimbo will get worked on
and btw lesnar would whoop the shit out of kimbo because he’d throw him to the ground and mash his face in
but i still kinda like kimbo i’d like to see him delevlope into a true mma fighter though street fighters are so dumb
in 2-23-2008 at 22:29:12 from 80.161.35.117
put kimbo up vs frank mir and see how well he do LOL i bet he will tap out in 1st round
in 2-24-2008 at 03:36:53 from 71.92.217.123
frank mirs career is over!!!
in 2-24-2008 at 05:58:30 from 76.88.132.74
2tuff. kimbo is here because HE wants to be here. he has potential to do well in mma.yea and we all know hes 34,and his career as an mma fighter will be a short one.but because he has a cult following because of his street fights,it makes his mma career more intersting to follow than most others. and for your info, i got bored of watching kimbos street fights.when he made the move to mma, i gave em some respect.and youre wrong to say that i boo when a fight goes to the ground. i watched and applauded minotauro’s tap out sylvia, mir tapping out brock. bj penn is one of my fav fighters. i am amazed at his ability on the ground. the nick diaz, sanchez fight was one of the best ground fights i ever saw. so dont assume u know me and what i like.i dont hate grapplers if thats what you think. but a lot of you talk like grapplers are this and that. but when i mention liddel,who is a standup fighter who wins with his hands, no one says a damn thing.and the thing is, i dont like liddel. but i give him respect cause hes damn good at what he does.so dont think i favor striking over grappling. so why dont you tell us your opinion why kimbo is here?? you say hes not good. are you saying the man cant fight?
in 2-24-2008 at 06:25:56 from 76.88.132.74
and that thought about gracie beating up all these “HUGE GUYS”. are you talking about the ones from ufc 1 & 2?? did you talk sh!t about gracie after his first 2 fights in the UFC like you do about kimbo? yeah thats what i thought..and you talk sh!t about kimbo’s first two fights.haha! those HUGE GUYS gracie fought my friend are “NOBODYS!”. HAHA! take that weak crap outta here.oh so tell me something,is your neighborhood kickboxing instuctor, or black belt jiu jitsu or karate teacher the toughest guy in your hood? if so, thats pathetic. lets not forget, mma is a sport. ive seen a jiujitsu guy try to triangle some one and got his head slammed on the street. mofo was out like a fart.and kicked in his head after that. so just because they do what they do, it dosent mean there invincible.
in 2-24-2008 at 06:35:46 from 76.88.132.74
oh and just to let you know that i am an open minded person. heres my opinion for one way to beat a fighter like kimbo. hard leg kicks. a fighter with reach, defense, and good solid leg kicks. if youre forced to stand with a striker, take away his legs..you take away his power.options will open up from there. peace.
in 2-25-2008 at 04:21:50 from 24.185.203.128
Custom, I do agree with you regarding how to beat Kimbo. Reach, leg kicks, and mobility. At 34 I don’t think Kimbo can keep up a sustained attack for 3 rounds. If you can move and stick punches and leg kicks in and weaken his base you can probably take him to the ground in the third when he’s tired and go for a sub. Kimbo’s got great upper body development but smallish legs. Of course this is all theoretical and easier said than done.
in 2-26-2008 at 18:37:46 from 24.214.151.193
Whamo! WoW! Total domination… However, Tank did tank about 8 seconds into that fight. He fought like he did absolutelly no training, as in none. He was gassed after the first clinch… On the other had… Kimbo is a monster! Kimbo is a natural to the fight game. Under the world-clas tuteledge of Bass Ruten, he will pick up a ground game and Bass has already elevated Kimbos striking to another level, as in, off the charts type level… If Bass believes in Kimbo then its safe to say he will show more every fight. Where’s Sean Gannon now?
in 2-27-2008 at 06:02:21 from 76.102.35.184
You all need to stop hating..Fact is before the fight everyone said Tank was gonna out punch him..Kimbo crushed him and now its a farce and tank was a nobody…lol..You all wanted him to fight a submission master in his first MMA fight so he could of lost, Then it would have been a told you so..He is getting better every day so get used to seeing him whoopin ass for a long time to come.
in 2-27-2008 at 17:25:11 from 70.95.64.41
Come on Kimbo has no history of experience like alot of other MMA fighters. He is 34 years old and just started his MMA career.So give him a break nobody who becomes pro automatically fights the top fighters. Everyone started there career fighting nobodys. All of a sudden people want him to fight in his 3rd fight a guy like frank mir come on. We all know Kimbo needs to work on his ground game, but this guy just wants to fight and you got to love that. He is a regular guy who fought alot of street fights and now has turned pro. People already want to throw him in with Frank mir who been training jujitsu since he was born lol. So give the guy a break and let him prove him self.Anyone who thinks this was WWE setup style then try take one of Kimbo’s punch on the chin they going be waking you up the next morning lol.
in 2-27-2008 at 20:57:58 from 24.19.179.90
whoever thinks mma fights are rigged are complete morons.whoever wins fights wins them,plain and simple.and the morons who say marketing stragedy with kimbo.he’s a beast man.even if he lost that fight he stuill would be a huge bene for mma.hell,its very hard to have a perfect record in mma fights.unless they are newcomers the vertens all but maybe 2 have losses and they still kick ass.the morons on here say rigged…..then dont post,dont watch and get to steppin.we dont want your crying asses here.i bet there still some more cry babies posting on here and seriously read how ridiculous they are……lol.makes me crack up.
in 3-2-2008 at 04:05:24 from 99.141.241.71
Tank was a bum when he was winning, and so is Kimbo, he would get pounded by any true mma fighter. He’s a boxer, haven’t seen to many of those with UFC belts!
in 3-10-2008 at 03:05:52 from 76.177.19.125
He (kimbo is to easy to shoot. Tanks old berr belly arse had his heel twice. Kimbl neds to just go down to the nursing home then he can beat up people who are old and nobody at the same time. lol Kimbo slice will not be able to handle real opponents that is why he is still doing “fights” like this instead of fighting his way up the ranks. He (or his manager) realize he will sputter out and start losing when he runs into the young and hungry monsters in the ranks of the M.M.A. here in the states. Just think of how bad Gannon could have pounded him if they had allowed that fight to hit dirt.?
in 3-13-2008 at 02:55:56 from 12.34.38.193
I want Kimbo in the UFC just so we can see how good he’s not.
in 3-25-2008 at 17:14:59 from 190.129.82.33
andrei arlovski knocks kimbo out just in 30 seconds!!!!
kimbo will be a fucking joke for frank mir for example! can you imagine kimbo figthing pedro rizzo!! pedro is the rock!!!
in 3-26-2008 at 22:12:07 from 65.92.96.206
i’m not going to watch anymore kimbo until he gets a real opponent – they wanted to build him up so they took someone out of retirement who never had cardio even in his prime – so there was no danger of kimbo’s stock going down – until he fights someone good.
in 4-3-2008 at 12:58:46 from 205.243.24.110
kimbo vs. crocop. nuff said. kimbo loses 1st round.
in 4-4-2008 at 07:42:33 from 195.93.21.70
Kimbo is excellent at what he does,the Sean G, fight proved how much punishment he could take, if he( S.G.) stuck to the rules kimbo would have won in the end,that mother fukin pig son of a bitch kept on swingin off his neck.Im sure once Kimbo is trained and satisfied with his groundwork he will be pretty much unbeatable,like KING MOTHERFUKIN KONG WITH A BLACK BELT! FUCK THAT SHIT! (have a nice day).
in 4-9-2008 at 13:39:17 from 66.204.18.205
Tank really needs to give it up, he is way to old, that was no fight for Kimbo, but that one guy is right you dont just get to come in off the street and fight the topdog, you got to earn it, if kimbo keeps winning then he will get his time to shine just like all the other fighters, but personally i cant see him getting that far and fighting people like Chuck Liddell & Rampage Jackson, he is just really not that good.
in 4-12-2008 at 11:54:01 from 70.12.48.211
The comments on here are nuts. Sure a skilled MMA fighter would be more of a challenge, but you cannot deny the overwhelming force that is Kimbo Slice. His speed and power are scary, and he’s no punk off the street. He’s an educated, confident and gifted pugilist. People who say he’s ‘not that good’ should really just stop the hating. You know it’s just because he is your worst nightmare, a big, hairy, angry, mean black man who doesn’t worry if he might seriously hurt you. It’s laughable how you all sit in your cushy little homes and comment on the guy with the balls to put himself in the middle of it all at the risk of being exposed.
in 4-14-2008 at 21:03:45 from 75.157.194.237
Big ups to a legend of MMA……. now that’s done… Jesus Titty Fucking Christ Kimbo Slice has some serious power… watching any bare knuckle fight he has to hold back… little bit o’ leather and he just fucking starts throwing BOMBS…. looking forward to more Sliiiiieeeece!!!
in 4-24-2008 at 13:18:48 from 24.215.79.74
Kimbo is nothing more then a street brawler who got his fame from the internet. He needs to fight someone who didn’t come out of retirement, after that, I’ll take him more seriously.
As of now, the man is just a clown act.
in 4-29-2008 at 12:05:25 from 24.127.43.221
who wants to see Kimbo vs. Arlovski down the road?!
in 7-26-2008 at 01:14:32 from 71.134.162.255
The second he (kimbo) gets into the ring with a professional he’s doomed. too big to have any stamina and not very flexible I’m betting. i would pay big money to see him get knocked the F*@k out! as far as “overwhelming force” is concerned, there have been lots of guys through out the short history of the UFC with power (and power only-like slice) and they are no longer factors. I find it “laughable” that he fought a 42 year old tank abbott. “laughable” is the size of the balls it must have taken to get ones self into the ring to fight a man 70 lbs heavier than he was when he was fighting —10 years ago! how about for his next fight we have him fight George Costanza from Seinfeld. take some “balls” for that too. i dont even like tank but come on. lets wait to see him fight someone current, a non-retired professional fighter. then we’ll see what is “laughable”
in 12-4-2008 at 13:24:37 from 165.130.136.206
we all know what a bum kimbo is now. He’s as worthless as I expected. The only people he can beat are old, out of shape has beens. When he finally fought a halfway decent fighter, he got dominated. Elite XC deserved to go out of business-terrible promoting and bad management. Imagine Kimbo Slice being your star. The UFC will continue to get stronger and Affliction may stay in competition but Kimbo Slice won’t even be a has been, he’ll be a never was even close.
