Vegas just opened a line on how many times we’ll hear “classic striker vs. grappler matchup” during the broadcast.

Poor Kimbo. Everyone wants to kick his ass before he slips back into obscurity.

Keep firing Assholes!

What happened to Werdum getting a big Affliction contract? It seems the Sister/Manager isn’t working out for him all that well.

Or maybe he took a decent Strikeforce contract that comes with big sponsorship opportunities? You’re totally jumping to conclusions.

I’m jumping to conclusions about other people jumping to conclusions about Werdum signing with Affliction? How come no one else has heard about Werdum signing anything with Strikeforce? It seems we keep getting all sorts of stories out of Werdum and his camp.

coker stated that he wasn’t going to feed kimbo to the wolves right off the bat so we’ll see.

Why would Kimbo fight Werdum unless Strikeforce absolutely papers his walls with cash? Werdum = Wolves.

agreed.

Depends – how’s Kimbo’s uppercut?

So much intrigue with this one. Will it be Kimbo by uppercut, or Werdum by jab on one foot moving backwards?

Doubt it...

mismatch from hell for sure.

I would like to see kimbo go to Dream andfight someone like Sapp or Buttrbean, maybe Hong Choi?

by Bandaka on Mar 2, 2009 12:28 PM EST reply actions

I have all three of those guys absolutely murdering Kimbo. Hong Choi is actually pretty underrated as a fighter and would walk right through Kimbo. Sapp probably presents the best business opportunity and Butterbean presents the best straight out brawl potential.

Conclusion, i’d watch Sapp and Butterbean but I think the Choi fight would be a boring victory for Choi.

Werdum is begging for relevancy. He’s one of the Brazilian fighters that just doesn’t understand the whole PR standpoint, so his solution is to call out Kimbo because in his mind, Kimbo is making shitloads of money. Terrible idea, Werdum… because people actually respected your skills. Now you’re just lowering your standards.

VERY Doubtful

Coker is trying to build a Kimbo vs Rogers fight for 2010 by treating kimbo like a rookie, which he is. No way he would sign Werdum to destroy Kimbo in their second Showtime show.
