Good interview, cant blame the guy for being a part of the Gary Shaw hype machine. Even though James Thompson is a can its still a step up for him and as long as he keeps taking steps up what more could you want.

wow. everytime i hear/read a kimbo interview i become more and more of A fan. yes he hasn't proved shit and only time will tell how good he actually ends up being but you know what?? kimbo seems to know that. he is taking this very seriously and he's obviously putting the worrk in.
he def doesn't sound like this big, badass mutha street fighter when he talks. take the thing with chuck. kimbo could have played it tough but he obviously has respect for chuck. dont be mad at kimbo cuz he isn't fighting elite hws yet. thats on elitexc. if kimbo loses they will lose their biggest cash cow. they are protecting their investment like any other smart business would do. dont hate on kimbo cuz of all the attention and $$$ he's gettin. everyone of you would do the same thing he is. whats he supposed to say?? " uh no thanks espn, ima keep fightin donkeys in ma backyerd" he's taking acre of his family as best he can and anyone that hates on that needs to get a fucking life.
all in all, im still not sold on kimbo as an elkite mma hw. he has some skills but that wont be enough. time will tell but what i do know is that im interested in seeing how he progresses and would love to see him in the ufc.

I'm disappointed that they set up the fight vs. DVDs Thompson, but if they can even do a decent TV number (1.5-2.0) and Kimbo looks good, he will have suddenly gone from beating on Ray Mercer in some weak local promotion to being the ace for a company perceived as legit competition to the UFC

$50 bucks says he'd tap if Nog had him in an armbar.

I wonder what Bas thinks of Kimbo calling him a 'dirty man' for tapping.

Kimbo is the next champion. You guys should see his street fights. he knocked somebody's eyeballs out in one hit. Fedor Emelinikov will lose badly if he fights Kimbo. heck anyone will. . he has that much power in his punches. and now with all this training, he's unstoppable..
