anyone have though about kimbo vs james thompson…. lol anohter cruise victory for kimbo
well Patrick, Thompson may not be the best fighter in the world, but he has some SERIOUS fight experience.
Hes a UFC and Pride veteran with wins over guys like, Dan Severn, Giant Silva, Don Frye and Yoshida.
Hes got losses from Aleks Emelianenko, Fujita and Butterbean.
Hes still a pretty young guy, but within the past 2 years, hes lost 6 of 8 fights, so his mma career has been winding down.
One things for sure, Hes a tough guy and hes got some decent wrestling skills.
Kimbo should win that fight, but hes nobody to sleep on.
i hate to be mean but bvrasp ur giving thompson way way way to much credit the guy sucks!!!!!!!!!i have no idea why he even fights.
i dunno Rich, hes been through some tough fights man.. Like his fight with Fujita.. but like i said, i expect Kinbo to win the fight anyways.
Thompsons problem is his glass chin. I think Gary Shaw is doing the right thing giving him B & C level oponents till he can develope his groung game enough to start taking on top guys.
