I'm, pretty sure that's from the movie "Never Back Down."

I thought I'd see you post this. SOooo stupid. Looks like EXC's last gimmick to get some views before they go kablooey.

When you play for Celtic forget the Jersey forget the club, your playing for a people and a cause.

I see this in huge favor for Shamrock even though is coming from a 5(6?) fight losing streak. All he needs to do is take Kimbo down (easy) and then submit him (easy).
Ken by knee bar. |

Kenny boy was handpicked here for sure. One, he's never been good at takedowns, two he's giving up a ton of size, and three, he's stupid enough to stand and trade with Kimbo. Kimbo via quick KO.

A stiff breeze will make Kimbo fall on his ass. If Ken can set up a takedown with punches, even if they are shitty, I don't see Kimbo being able to avoid the takedown. That is unless he has vastly improved on his takedown defense.

I don't know if you've seen any of Ken's last few fights, but he's semi-retarded these days. Ken has zero takedown skills and his jaw is like glass. Robert "Buzz" Berry just knocked him into next week a few months ago, a guy that was dominated by UFC reject Colin Robinson and choked out by Dan Severn not long before. I give Ken zero chance in this one.

Well I think he has to the tools. Hopefully this isn't a name for Kimbo to beat. |

I just find this a lose lose scenario.
If Ken wins, Ken wont be considered a "come back" person. At least, not to me. Simultaneously, everyone else will say that Kimbo has sucked from the get go. If Kimbo wins, it will be another half ass win cuz its coming from an old man that has had consecutive losses. To think that I actually thought Tank would be a good match up for Kimbo. Though we all know the results by now, I never knew how many losses Tank had in his record. Had I known nothing about Tank's interesting wins in the first UFCs and just knew about his record before the fight, I wouldve bet on Kimbo hands down.

It's a win/win situation for EliteXC. Ken can't win this fight, he's old, he's slow, he has a glass jaw, he's never had the wrestling skills needed to shine against larger opponents, and Kimbo has a good 30lbs on Ken. They know it and so does every hardcore MMA fan. The thing is, the name Ken Shamrock holds a lot of water in the MMA community and most people will view this as a legit opponent for Kimbo.
Trust me, EliteXC has absolutely zero interest in Ken winning this fight and they don't expect him to win either. It would be a good night though if Ken got Kimbo in an ankle lock and did his crazy WWF face as he did it. WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS MAN IS BACK!!! lol. |

yeah that is another thing that got my thinking the fight could be rigged. If they bring in a guy with consecutive losses like Ken and he beats Kimbo it would ruin Kimbo's name and I don't think EXC would want to build up Ken Shamrock in their franchise, he is old and shouldn't be fighting, it wouldn't go anywhere.
Their whole company is supported by toothpicks. They should spend more time advertising guys like Lawler, Shields and Diaz as their top stars. Shit, they have Shields but you never hear anything about him other than mentioning his fight dates. |

Poor Shields is stuck, all the good 170lb talent is in the UFC. He's so desperate to fight top guys, just a few weeks ago he was trying to get on the next Affliction card to fight Lindland @ 185 . Paul Daley is no joke though, should be a decent test for him. |

Put Kimbo up against a real fighter...Ken is over the hill and like mentioned they expect him to lose. It puts Kimbo up against a name, and not someone with abilities (anymore). I would love to see Kimbo vs a real UFC fighter. IMO Brock could give Kimbo and the viewers a real show. They are both huge non skilled brawlers who like to swing for the fences. Put Kimbo in the ring with a guy that has true talent like Fedor and he isn't even going to last through the 1st round.
Kimbo is nothing but a youtube street fighter that can throw a haymaker. He has never fought anyone that has ever hit him like a real fighter. All his youtube showings are lame as fuck chumps fighting a guy way bigger and stronger with the attempt to make money....and all the fighters in his pro career have been over the hills or nobodys..... Kimbo Slice seems like a nice guy with street cred, and that is about it. He would be picked apart by any top UFC fighter. Too much hype surounding him. He is not on the level of the top UFC guys, or even Pride for that matter. |

Wonder if Elite gave Ken a nice purse to take a fall?

Hello everyone. Good to see all the usual suspects lingering around here still. Makes it all homey like.
![]() The imagery of Brock and Randy you just created had me lmfao ![]() But seriously ... do we know if Brock can take a punch yet? I would think Mir would've provided him with a chin-check, but I don't recall that happening. There was a lot of hand flailing and attempts to run away as Brock chased Mir around, but I just can't remember if Mir actually got to tag that 1959 Cadillac bumper sized chin on Brock. With Randy, he'll get his chin examined within the first 20 seconds. Since Sapp still insists on trying to fight in MMA, can we get a Brock vs Sapp on the schedule? It would be a fast and comical extinction of Sapp, but hey ... the UFC is all about the entertainment and I really like to see Sapp get beat up. And finally, who wins in a Brock vs Fedor match up? |

![]() Honestly? I think Randy is in real trouble here. I don't know if it experience matters considering Brock outweighs Randy by ohhh 60 pounds come fight time. He's obviously bigger and stronger than Randy, but the thing Brock has going for him is he's probably faster than Randy too. That's a crazy thing to say about a 290lb man comparing him to a man that will come in fight time at 225lbs. Not to mention wrestling won't be saving Randy this time. As for Brock vs. Fedor? As of right now I'd have to say Fedor survives the initial onslaught and takes a Lesnar limb home for a souvenir. But... If Brock proves to be patient enough in his attacks to get through Couture, and more importantly Big Nog? I got Brock all day. He's just too big, fast and strong. |

Yeah, it's pretty exciting. I have a feeling his fight will put MMA on the map for good in the USA. This match is huge.

I did get my ass handed to me from above for my log though which totally sux ass, but steel is my friend again .I'm busier than a one legged man in an ass kickin' contest right now so posting is not high on the todo list, buuuuuut I do very much like the balanced opinion and and behavior here in this thread so I read it even when I have no time to post. I figure that if ReproBro didn't post on it, it ain't worth hearing about. I'm not tracking with you on that speed theory you have between Brock and Randy ... ![]() |
