Kimbo Slice Thread

Who are the best UFC/MMA fighters?

Heavy Weight.
current champ - Tim Silvia
contenders Randy Couture, Mirko Cro Cop, Andre Arlovski

Light heavyweight
Champ Chuck Liddell
Contenders Quentin Jackson, Tito Ortiz Mickael Bisbing (British fighter) Forest Griffin

Middle weight
Champ Anderson Silva
contenders Rich Franklin plus several on the fringe

some big fight coming up over next few months.
Welterweight
George StPierre
Contenders Matt Serra, Matt Hughs plus several on the fringe

pound for pound is easily Matt Hughes, with Chuck Liddell 2nd.

My top fighters would be Hughes,Liddell, Franklin and St Pierre!!!

In the past maybe. when he was predominantly a wrestler he looked unbeatable. now he's making the effort to be an more rounded fighter he looks like he's lost it. George St Pierre stuck him with a couple of stiff jabs and he didn't look like he fancied the job. he tried a few takedowns and when they failed he was out to see. I hacve money on Chris Lytle to beat him Saturday. Hughes is definitely favourite but Lytle hits harder than GSP so if he can connect it might be an upset.

He is a poor excuse of a MMA fighter(if you can call him that). If you look at the people he beat in the street fights they are nothing more than the average joe public throwing a punch. He hits reasonably hard, but has no technique whatsoever. The guy that beat him is a poor MMA fighter, so what does that make Kimbo.

He has no takedown defence, or attack - and has zero ground skills.

He shouldnt even be classed as a MMA fighter, or boxer - he is just a over average built man who can throw punches

I reckon me or vinni could beat him !!!!!!lololololol

maybe we could get him over for BB4? If 2+2 can get barry greestein to say "lol donkaments" on HSP surely we can go one better and get kimbo over to have a fight in the carpark with smithy.

lololol

No doubts he may have a decent punch, but against any above average fighter he wont win!!!!!

When I stayed in the Wynn last summer, I ended up playing some $1-$3 NL with Ken Shamrock.

Are these guys pro fighters?    I mean, do they make good money ( able to retire on money after a few years ) ?

I watch a lot of boxing, but I have not seen a lot of this cage or street stuff before.   Didn't Tyson consider doing this at one point?

You'll DEFINIANTLY see Tyson in UFC eventually

tyson would last about 30 secs before being submitted

I doubt that, most of the top MMA boys are predominantly strikers.

[smithy69]

but have the ability over years of training to avoid take downs - he doesn't

[bolt pp]

Of course not, but i dont think he would need it, look at butterbean

[smithy69]

butterbean has been beat easily by takedowns!!!!!!!!!!!

I will lay you odds on tyson getting mashed in his 1st fight

[bolt pp]

He'll get a soft first fight in the UFC so i dont think it will matter!

If they relax the rules on eating your opponents face, Tyson may be in good stead.
