    What channel is that? I rarely watch MMA, but I've always wanted to get into it. Plus, I've seen this dude's youtube videos and want to see if he's for real.

    It's on Showtime I believe in the states, The Fight Network in Canada.
    Fighting a WAY over the hill Tank abbott won't tell you much about Kimbo.. unless he loses.
    Kimbo is training with MMA legend Bas Rutten, so he's at least training for the sport like he's serious about it.

    more than a little, he's got 3 wins since 1996 and only one of those is a 'name' fighter.. and he wasn't a good fighter either.
    he's over the hill like tank

    They want Kimbo to win. He's pretty inexperienced, so they won't feed to the lions just yet.

    how about James Thompson losing!!
    further proof as to how overrated Pride was by Pride nuthugging fans.
    I didn't dislike Pride at all, I just Loathed the Pride-eccentric fans.. they're kinda like Kobe nuthuggers.
    good to see Yves Edwards and his thug-jitsu ways back on the winning track.

    well he does claim he won't tap...
    guess it depends on who's applying the armbar.
    I'd like to see him face James Thompson
