im not the biggest fan of kimbo and dont like all the hype around him - hes 2-0 come on - anyway, after watching his striking in his fight against tank, he has real good striking ability, movement and head movement.

we still have to see his groung game and him take a step up in competition, but as bas rutten said hes being developed slowy. this could prove huge for the future and i do think that if he keeps doing what hes doing he could be in the top ten


if you disagree thats fine, but remember theres not that many top quality HWs out there

have you even watched any of kimbo's fights? so ignorant.

Sanches took 3 rounds to finish salali who was embarrassed in pride by a skinny korean dude

Kimbo finished 2 UFC vets and a former boxing WBC champion in under 4 minutes,

come on man...I don't wanna say I told you...but your prejudice is showing

I would add Carwin, Sanchez, Hardonk, & McCully to that list as well. I would love to see a guy like Hardonk absolutely wreck Kimbo on the feet and put an end once and for all to the myth of Kimbo's great stand up skills.

In the weakened state of the HW division of the UFC, Kimbo could be considered top ten. But once he starts fighters who are well rounded and not just old brawlers (except Thompson who is a young brawler with a weak chin) he would need every bit of training Rutten has given him.
As a troll attempt this failed.
As a legit question it's true.

He has?

Last time I checked, he was 1-1 against UFC vets (W versus Tank, L versus Gannon)

Its possible. To be top 10, he would need to string together a few wins; with the cage giving the advantage to ground fighters, he might need to improve his ground game first
