Just wondering what happened, I'm guessing Kimbo dominated.

    *Tank Abbott,

    yes, Kimbo dominated.. Tank came out swinging, but he's too old and his arms were too short..

    Tank is 42. and he looked real bad.

    as far as Kimbo i am impressed with his speed and power. but i think he would be better off boxing. just like brock lesnar got beat. I cant see kimbo beating the top notch submission fighters in ufc. just watch this video

    kimbo vs gannon

    Used to really like Tank but the guy never had the stamina to finish. Have been having searching youtube for all the fights I used to watch. Still think Kimo and Oleg Taktarov were great. Just watched We Own The Night and saw that Oleg was one of the russian gangsters in the flick. My wife hates me for being a fountain of useless knowledge. Now she has to watch me look up UFC videos. Oh well...

    MMA levels the playing field so much. After Kimbo slices (pun intended) through several of these 'stand up' guys, then he'll have to face the guys with the ground skills who will lure him into their 'web' and snap his knee/ankle, etc.

    I think that Kimbo is better than Lesnar is that he can incorporate more of the holds into his repetoire rather than just relying on brute force.

    Kimbo is a thug, but he's exciting to watch....that's for sure.

    he has his own submission, he muffles you with his 'Abe Lincoln' beard,

    I'd really love to see Lesner have success in MMA. He has a great amateur wrestling background and I would assume he has his own mix bag of submissions. Though, I dont see him being overly successful if he doesnt learn some martial arts.

    Lesnar showed he is very very strong, he could avoid the submission loss for a fight or two. If his arms get caught he might be strong enough to not tap
