Kimbo is defeated
Kimbo loses in to Roy Nelson. didnt watch it but everyone is saying Roy just used his girth to lay on him for the two rounds
Re: Kimbo is defeated
Yeah Kimbo not a bad guy people put him down like he is,but he really not he a level headed guy.I wish him the best of luck
Re: Kimbo is defeated
Kimbo needs work on his ground game. Nelson's wasn't much better.
Roy didn't beat him as much as just pinned him and Kimbo didn't know what to do once the right arm got pinned under Nelson's knee.

Re: Kimbo is defeated
lovin how people talkin about how love taps ended this fight....so was it really that bad
Re: Kimbo is defeated
Nelson pinned him and Kimbo couldn't fight back so the ref stopped it.
Kimbo gave away 30 pounds to Nelson. Jackson hasn't impressed me much as a coach so far this season. His team is 0-3.

Re: Kimbo is defeated
Roy weighed in at like 264 so he was at the upper limit of the heavyweight level, but thats where say Brock fights at so whats it matter if Roy outweighed the guy. Look love taps or not Kimbo got dominated on the ground once he got there he had nothing and Roy put him in a cruxifix and proceeded to punch him in the head tilthe ref stopped it. The point of any match be it wrestling, MMA, Boxing, or whatever is to win. Roy exploited the huge weakness in Kimbos game and won the match.

Re: Kimbo is defeated
Hey it got him the win. Plus isnt that the strategy of the crucifix position. You trap the guys arms with your body and you pound their head til ref stops it. Perfect strategy by Roy.
Re: Kimbo is defeated
What was sad was Kimbo just layed there after being pinned. It's not that the pucnhes Neslon was throwing was really doing any damage, but Kimbo just went limp and didn't even try to get out of the pin. I know the guy was big, but you have to at least try or the fight was going to be stopped. You could hear the ref saying, "you've got to try and fight out Kimbo", but he just layed there. I think he has other avenues now for making money and has lost his heart, jmo.

Re: Kimbo is defeated
Actually in his 2nd fight against the big german dude he did the same thing. The guy had him in same position for over a minute. He just layed there. Its like when it goes to the ground he has no clue what to do so he just lays there.
Re: Kimbo is defeated
That was about the fight that I expected. Nelson is a terrible fighter, but I dont think Kimbo is going to be much in the UFC. Brock would kill Nelson, and I love how Nelson thought he was a King or something after he won..Rampage is a terrible coach btw..This season is kind of boring thus far, Kimbo is going to get another chance next week though after the big guy went down.

Re: Kimbo is defeated
this fight was horrible....all nelson did was sit on him he did nothing special to win just used that belly of his to suffocate kimbos face and it looked like he was barely hittin him on top of his head and the ref to end it early,that was weak

Re: Kimbo is defeated
i watch a lot of UFC, every pay per view, tons of differant mma companies and i can tell you now, kimbo slice is sub par. people keep saying that nelson just layed on him, he didnt just lay on him, he executed a move that cripled kimbo. he knew if he took it to the ground kimbo would be finished. nelson isnt great either, he isnt much on his feet or on the ground but kimbo's groung game is so terrible that you could put him on the ground with any UFC heavyweight and 99 out of 100 times kimbo would loose the match. stand them up, could be a differant story, but no UFC fighter no matter how good their stand up is would stand toe to toe with kimbo for the entire match. why do that when all you need to do is take him down them pick him apart. the poor guy looks like he is clueless on the ground. kimbo needs to wear thicker gloves and go into boxing because that is his only chance, MMA just isnt for him. kimbo is a great guy though and has an awesome work ethic, he just doesnt have what it takes. Dana White was right all this time and now it is being proven

Re: Kimbo is defeated
I am guessing Kimbo comes back and will guess Wes will knock himout ending all talk of how he will become anything in this business with this company.
Re: Kimbo is defeated
Kimbo needs training as we all can see, he is a great athlete but until he can do more than his stand up people are just gonna exploit him like roy did, but i have faith in kimbo and believe he can do well once he gets proper training and experience.
