I doubt it will suffer, Kimo isn't that big of a draw really. A lot of hardcore fans will buy this PPV just to see Bas, I think the WFA knew that.

Its still a letdown no matter how you look at it. Sims is NOT Kimo - Kimo is much more known than Sims.

However, call me crazy, I think Sims will perform better than Kimo. Kimo has looked really terrible recently. And although I like him and I think he has the best tattoos in MMA, he's really living off his loss to Royce.

From a business standpoint, Sims is a step down. From a competitive standpoint, and this pains me to say, but he's a step up.

It doesn't matter in the end. Rutten will pull out a submission victory. Unless Sims somehow stops Rutten... which would be just as big of an upset as Tyson - Douglas.

Screw Kimo. He doesn't have anything left. His last big win was longer ago than Bas'. Granted, Sims has never had a great win, he still has a chance to make a career for himself. Hopefully he'll make a more entertaining fight than Kimo would have. I'm going to see this live on Saturday, and losing Kimo really is not a letdown for me at all.
