Everyone is making a bigger deal out of Kimbo at this point than is necessary. The guy was a good, solid streetfighter and wanted to expand his learning and move to MMA. He got in the gym with an MMA legand in Bas Rutten and is now testing some skills. For those that expect him to compete with top 10 heavyweights already, you are IDIOTS!!!! Do you know that top 10 heavyweights have been training in MMA for over 10 years? Should he fight top 10 guys right now? HELL NO! He should keep doing what he is doing...Fight about 10-12 fights with lower level guys and then progress from there. Kimbo is only like 30 years old also. He has 5 or 6 years of fighting left in him.
Bas Rutten has done many interviews and speaks very highly of Kimbo's work ethic and skill. Bas isn't one to sugarcoat anything.....
