A fellow HW with the hand skills to stand and the submission kills to handle himself on the ground.
Either way, if Bas and the mgt team are truly concerned with Kimbo's development they should try to get him a fight against someone who will test Kimbo on the ground.
Test but not destroy...hence the Fedor reference. Arlovski would present such a test..IMO.

You are severely underestimating Arlovski's skills on the ground and overestimating Kimbos at the same time.
That fight would go as follows:
AA takes Kimbo down within seconds, gets mount, then proceeds to either GN'P him or submit him.
