Did Kenny Florian just compare Kimbo to Brock???

[giusti825]

I didn't like Brock, but he at least had legit amateur credentials and potential in mma.

Kimbo was just a promoters atm machine that had no business in mma. And who could forget that fixed fight with Mercer.....

I'll take respite in the fact that Florini probably didn't come up with the idea himself.

Just because someone dies, doesn't make their career more impressive.

There is no reasonable argument for a comparison between Kimbo and Brock.....

He compared the fact that they both have the "It" factor.

Which they both do. Relax.

Kimbo just fucking died you idiot. They were just paying him a tribute

 

[stillm93]

They both were draws

what he said

You must not know about the numbers Kimbo did for Elite XC

 

[Fight Professor]

Too soon.

All respect to Kimbo, his general MMA skillset and conditioning might have been lacking, but his boxing was pretty legit.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Kimbo deserved to be in MMA

Get the fuck outa here

 

[Rod Farva]

I didn't hear what he said but you could draw some comparisons between the two. Drawing power is one place. At one time Brock vs Kimbo could have sold out any arena

Who even cares they were just showing respect. Brock belongs in mma and has real promise but he hates getting punched? Kimbo was at least a real fighter.

There's lots of comparisons.

Brock represented WWE. Kimbo street fighting

Both big draws with a fanbase before their debut. Both are polarizing big dudes.. Basically TS deserves his ban for making this thread.

I think it's the opposite. Brock is not in Slice's league, he was a legit real fighter from the start.

Ppl keep claiming Brock's divirticulitis...well Kimbo apparently had bigger health problems because he actually died from them. Imagine a healthy Kimbo who started out in real MMA training not bareknuckle fights.
