Kimbo vs Tank

[ColdFX]

Any thoughts of this possible matchup?

I like Tank alot, but he lost alot of his ability over the years.

I find it very funny when kimbo called him out and said on the microphone to a live audience as well as being broadcasted on tv, "I can take two niggas in one day" then follow that up with "I can take two dudes in one day". Had that person been white or of any other color he would have been like lamb taken to slaughter, but it was completely ignored. I think kimbo will go down to tank. Tank will take him out.

I've never understood all the love for Tank, he has never really beat anyone of note and has always had a spotty record, though in the last few years that record has gone from spotty to laughable (losing 7 of his last 8 fights).

Yeah he's a brawler, but there have been plenty of brawlers in MMA over the years who were decent fighters, had more diverse standup skills, and actually understood they were fighting in MMA and not toughman competitions so they didn't complain when they got submitted.

I would love to see it. Kimbo seems a little sloppier with defense, and they both swing for the fences. Tank is stronger but I think it would come down to who lands the haymaker

i think it would be a great fight for entertainment purposes..def not for the skill of fighting but just the brawler aspect...heres a few pts to consider:
1) tank in an interview said he was tired of all these new fighters sayin how they were watchin ufc n decided to start fighting..he said sumtin like he was born to fight newhere ne time, he doesnt need a ring...i think thats why a lot of people like him...not rly because hes good but because he will throw down newhere...parkin lot? lol kimbo reference
2) if they do fight how do u see kimbo fighting? i think a def advantage would be to take tank down to the ground n try to submit, how do u beat a slugger? out slug him? nah outsmart him, take advantage of weaknesses....but now i ask u this, kimbo has been coming to popularity due to underground street fighting, do u think he would wanna go toe to toe wit a well known brawler in abbott...i wonder how u address this fight, does kimbo say f winnin im gonna brawl like i always did? or am i gonna take the smart route try n submit rather than punch for punch....what u guys think?

Kimbo vs. Tank
High on entertainment and $$$ for the promoters.
Low on MMA skill.
Short on time.
