No, it isn't.
Think about it. Kimbo couldn’t even KO James Thompson and Meathead showed a great chin against Junk. Flush haymakers didn’t even make him blink.
Kimbo is taking a nap in this fight.

Who would you suggest his next fight be, then? In my mind, this is the best option for him AND for matchmaking Meathead.

Yep, it’s an actual test for him instead of just feeding him someone for the sake of getting a win. If a fighter can’t win the hard fights then they don’t have any business in the UFC anyway. I mean what’s the point of feeding Kimbo cans now? Lets see if he actually has a shot at being anything besides a side show in MMA.
Wha?

PPV or SpikeTV Prelims?
No way he’s going to the dark matches, but where will he be?

This card is stackeeeeed with guys who can sell a PPV.
Im suprised the UFC isnt making Rampage Rashad as its own pay per view … as well as putting Kimbo on one of the weaker pay-per-view where he can boost sales.
This one will do huge sales regardless.
kimbo "all day"
rooting for kimbo in every match he in because the haters are waiting to see him fail. im pretty sure the fight will be on spike prelims
I’ll be rooting for Kimbo. I want to see him get revenge on Meathead for knocking Big Baby out…
I’ll also be curious to know how much ATT has helped Kimbo out…I know Im in the minority (no pun intended) but I’d REALLY like to see Kimbo have a successful career
"He will lie between resentment and regret. He shed his grace. As certain as a snake sheds its skin. Laid waste to a wealth of talent--his curse being blessed with treasures that just were not gold enough"
so I guess I won't be seeing Kimbo vs Gracie anytime soon...
on a slightly unrelated note: This could be interesting to see how much more PPV buys this card would get with Kimbo on the card..
If the casuals needed more reason to purchase a PPV with a light heavyweight championship rematch and two TUF coaches in it, then I guess Kimbo puts the icing on the cake for this one.
HONESTLY
i don’t really care for either fighter.. it’z like watching a couple of mini-vanz drag race…. i suppose if Mitrione haz decent head movement he should be alright….

Mitrione actually looked pretty decent against Jones, and I believe that Mitrione also trains with Chris Lytle and his camp. Similarly, Kimbo actually improved and showed it against Alexander, and Kimbo trains in ATT. I have to go with Mitrione in this one because he does hit hard and can take punches. Kimbo may be wise to try and take this to the ground (even though he is limitied in the ground game and besides that huge slam, seems limited in taking fighters down).
Does anyone feel that 30-year-old Matt Mitrione is a Heavyweight prospect?
No
And I also don’t think he can beat Kimbo. His striking is broken and he doesn’t seem to have the drive to succeed. He’s with a good camp, though, and it showed against Big Baby. I suspect it’ll be a competitive fight, but I fully expect Kimbo to outstrike him.

Kimbo takes this.
And the oddsmakers will say so. He’s stronger, faster, and moves better than Mitrione.
Being overrated is overrated.
This is a slap in the face to Kimbo. After his win over Houston, Kimbo deserves a bigger name opponent.

This is laughable at best.
If they want Kimbo to not get murdered he needs feeder fish 1st. Meat head =
