Kimo vs. Kimbo, street fighters turned MMA

Whether you love or hate Kimbo Slice, you got to admit, you want to find out how he’d do in a real MMA match. I don’t think Mercer, or Cantrell answered any questions.
So if you look at a good match for him, I wouldn’t want to see him fight a champion just yet, as he hasn’t proven anything, nor do I want to see him fight cans.

Tank produced an entertaining opponent on paper, but to be fair, we haven’t seen Tank do much lately, and his submission defense, wasn’t too great. If Kimbo can slap on a guillotine over a boxer why not a “brawler” like Tank?

I think a really interesting match, that would answer a lot of questions would be Kimo vs. Kimbo. Kimo isn’t exactly in his prime, but he’s still pretty competitive. He can hit, and he can submit. He’s got submission defense, and he was competitive with Bob Sapp in kickboxing.

If the match were to occur I could see Kimo winning by a submission, or maybe ground and pound, but then again Kimo did get knocked out by Shamrock so Kimbo would probably have a good chance.

While I agree that Kimo isnt the best fighter, I think this match would be a good test for Kimbo.

Kimo is a BJJ black belt. He would prob submit Kimbo.
