nothing puts a smile on my face like seeing kimbo's ass laid out on the ground. i love it. can't wait untill he gets his ass kicked in the cage and his "boys" aren't around to save him.

They fought for the same reason most guys in MMA fight for and that is CASH.

All of a sudden, you guys are acting like Gannon is Randy Couture or some shit.

He was a Boston police officer who had one pro MMA fight under his belt. He probably trained MMA sparingly in his off-time. Kimbo was a street-fighting "legend" who had gained a lot of fame from his fights on the internet. Supposedly, no one had the balls to accept fights with Kimbo so Gannon stepped up and took him up on the challenge, even though he wasn't allowed to grapple or apparently knee/kick and it was all under a special rule set designed to help Kimbo out.

I don't know if there's a "bad guy" in this situation. I think Kimbo and his crew are sore losers. But that's about it. And of course it doesn't really have any impact on the Kimbo we see now. He's no longer the untrained guy on the street boxing bums in backyards for youtube fame.

True, money make-a the world go round. Gannon vs current Kimbo would be much more fun to watch. Gannon might actually make more money off that aswell. Theres no reason for him not to be begging for this fight. "I'm the guy who beat kimbo!" it could be hyped to hell. But maybe gannon doesnt want to fight kimbo now hes actually been trained eh?

This is the only creditabilty of Kimbo losing out there so anyone will have their speculation. And Gannon got TKO'd by Hinkle who is a good fighter but i dont think has the KO power Kimbo has. Just a little F-d up MMAth

He's is just a poor loser not unlike many other guys in mma, and what a joke that fight was, Kimbo had to make special rules to ensure he didn't get beat and still got beat.

I didnt come out with the whole "my dad is tougher than your dad" angle. you must be confused. YOU started the thread.

If you'd like to discuss the fight you posted, then ill admit, YES, Kimbo lost. Yes, there were some shady rules. But its OLD. Why bring it up? Seriously tho, think about it LONG and HARD. If youre NOT just trying to be a hater, then Why bring it up?
ur pretty terrible, y dont u read all the TS's posts he's using this AS AN EXAMPLE to show kimbo's obvious hard feeelings about this fight and lying about the rule breaking, which shows that maybe kimbo was in FACT k-oed by griffin and OBVIOUSLY has a hard time dealing with losing......not that any of this really matters it just erks me a bit to seeu attack the TS so ridiculously when it is very clear when u read all his posts....
