In Pride or UFC or the other events he would have to know some grappling skills. However, I have all of the PRIDE, UFC, and a hundred or more other fighting DVDs and I see guys like this win more than you would think. Remember, all it takes is one solid shot to end any fight. Also, being so big and strong, it is still difficult to get him and keep him on the ground long enough to tap him out. RE: Meet Kimbo Slice. Do not anger Kimbo. Kimbo is teh tough. |
