I've been a long time MMA fan and I have to admit I do like Kimbo. Many hardcore fans hate him and are jealous of how he entered the sport into big money so quickly, but the man is tough.

I think he got exposed in his fight against Thompson that he'd probably get submitted fairly easily if he was fighting a submission artist, but he doesn't necessarily have to take those kinds of fights.

For everyone that saw his Youtube fight against the MMA cop where he lost it's no suprise that he has very bad stamina. He only lost the fight to the cop due to it because he was kicking the guys butt. He will definately need to focus on his endurance more because he needs to be able to fight more than a couple minutes before looking completely exhausted.

Can't wait for the next bout.
