kimbo getting all this attention is a disgrace to true MMA fans and fighters

mr.reef24
I couldn't agree more Kimbo's game appears to be 1 of the weakest I've seen in a while. I don't know why he's so hyped.

agree w/ digger :D




guess they're makin wand climb the ladder from a pretty low rung

He should start at the bottom even though Akiyama is good and is really not a bottom of the pole fighter at all. Wandy is 1 of my all time favorite fighters but since coming to the UFC he is 1 win and 3 losses. Lots of fighters with his record would have been cut from the UFC but since he always comes to fight and people pay to see him fight the UFC brass keeps him. BTW before he came to the UFC he lost his last 2 in Pride as well so that makes it 1 win 5 losses in his last 6 fights.

Akiyama is good, I think he's 13-1. He pretty much came in as a mid/high level fighter to the UFC.

I thought he was a good fighter and pretty well known, but I was drunk when I looked at his record and I misread it. My bad. Although, it doesn't look like he's beaten many very good fighters. Guess he will get his chance to prove himself. I get what you're saying about Wand, too. He's still one of my favorites because of what he's done and how he fights.

I heard Coleman is out for his fight with Tito, I think because of injury.
That sux!!!! I love Coleman win lose draw his commentary at the end of his fights is always the best.

I heard the Aoki fight was boring? Hard to believe with the stuff that guy can pull off.

And Soku pounded Sapp, what a surprise. Sapp and Choi should just go away. Please, just start walking, and don't stop.
 
Sapp is turning up as a goon or henchman in a few straight to dvd movies.
