In Ken's last fight with Berry, it did look like he took a dive, that punch didnt even look like it hit him. I hate to think that but If I see anything like that in the Kimbo fight then I wont be surprised.

I think he dove because he was very hurt at that point - I don't think he blew the outcome, I just think he was hurt and didn't want to hang in there until he really was dropped to the ground.

Leglace and I were talking about this at the time on themat. He clearly wasn't dropped with a punch, but had be hit a lot in the minute before that.

Ah, more of a submission due to strikes without actually tapping per se? Even at that, I don't think Ken has ever had much on the feet and this will likely end the same way if he doesn't get the fight to the ground. If he gets it to the ground though, he should easily submit Slice.

Two related side notes:
1. Are they gonna let Ken wear his moon boots?
2. I can't wait to hear Adolf's take on this fight.

HA HA, I dont they will let him wear the moon boots, at least I hope not.

Im not Adolf, but heres what I think he'll say:

"The big man from florida will destroy the old man from Cali in record time, then he'll continue to crush everyone and they are all scared of him, take Bigfoot for instance, he head to take roids because he was so scared of the big man he knew he couldnt do it without them, I may just fly down to the reality kings studios and show the big man a few of my patented Adolf judoka throws, maybe take Winston to spar with Kimbo while I work out with the ladies."

I still think Kimbo is ducking, but I do give him props for getting $.

If Ken does not sell out and "take a so called dive" then he should win this fight. I know that the talk of the fight will go to Kimbo, but Ken will submit him with the good old fashion FAMOUS foothold. Ken can take a punch and should able to take Kimbo to the ground.
Has Ken gained some weight in recent time. He has never been a large heavyweight and I hope the size difference does not hurt him (i know Kimbo is not a huge heavyweight, but he still does outweigh Ken.

LoL.

Here you go:

The Big man from Sarasota will reign supreme. It will be a colossal battle between legend and up and coming, soon to be legend, where we will see the proverbial torch passed. It will be the apex of mixed martial arts, as millions upon millions will tune in to see the face of MMA, Kimbo Slice continue on his destructive tour of MMA and pro boxing hall of famers.

I may buy tickets for myself and several of my friends and be there live to see the historic event, live and in full color. This is tremendous, this is breath taking.

Kimbo beware the leg locks and the dreaded single leg attack. Be strong Kevin, and get your money meng. Don't listen to the nay sayers, this is a business. You aren't in this for their entertainment or in order to prove yourself, you are in it for the bread. Just like almost every single MMA'er out there...it's about the money and you're one of the best at getting paid.
