Kimbo always has a punchers chance because of his power. But what I'm tired of is these idiots running around the forum talking about how Elite XC is so smart for not having him fight talent. This is a stupid move. For one, any new person to this sport is going to wonder real fast why the hell Kimbo isn't fighting for the belt real soon. And secondly, they're going to wonder what the hell is going on with him when he gets gassed after the first round and has no ground game at all. Lastly, a lot of newbies get brought into this sport by others who have been watching this sport for a few years. They're going to let them know what the deal is with Kimbo, and Elite XC is going to end up looking like the tools they are. Eventually this guy is going to have to fight someone who has respectable skills.
Their best bet is to toss Kimbo a fight he probably won't win against a decent fighter, and if he loses they can start a fresh PR campaign and continue his "risen from the gutter" sob story. It's a win win situation for them whether he wins or loses.
