Breakfast All Day posted:Ken Shamrock is an "MMA professional" only in the sense that he was one of the first people to make a career out of the sport. Have you watched one of his golden age fights recently? There's nothing surprising at him being dumb and getting tagged easily. Ken Shamrock was what we thought good MMA was before anyone had actually seen good MMA. Basically: That's true for a lot of early athletes in sports, but most of them have the good sense to not keep playing 20 years past their prime.

If a fight between Kimbo and Steve Jennum or Harold Howard is a reasonably close one, then Kimbo can be considered capable of maybe winning UFC 1-5.

Scary looking guy with muscles and no particular fight ability probably would have won early ufcs, events specifically designed to make those guys lose to the scientific art of submission fighting.

"Was the fight worked" to "Kimbo would have won UFC 1" is certainly a weird direction for this thread to take. Here's an internet autist take on it http://fightland.vice.com/blog/kimbo-slice-versus-ken-shamrock-anatomy-of-a-fixed-fight

That was Sean Gannon, who talked a ton of poo poo on the UG, then beat Kimbo in a 'streetfight', then somehow went 1-1 in the UFC. That street fight is fantastic to see kimbo gas instantly then get dropped a few times and shoot crappy singles. Plus his entourage interferes whenever he gets into even a little trouble.

If I was shamrock and I wanted to work the fight I'd probably have Kimbo get out of the choke instead of pretending to have roughly fifteen seconds of gas.

Gannon had one UFC fight which he lost. Brandon Lee Hinkle then lost to Jeff Monson who would eventually lose to Tim Sylvia, thus unifying the UFC heavyweight title with the lineal Kimbo Slice bumfighting title.

I just saw the fight, and I wanted to say those guys were 91 years old in the bellator dodecahedron, and that their entrances were lifted verbatim out of the straight to video Scooby Doo Wrestlemania special

Hmm. If only we had a one dimensional, heavy handed brawler in early UFC's. Would have answered so many currently pressing questions.

Kimbo-Gannon wasn't even MMA. It was gassy clinch-boxing and several of the mobsters present got loudly upset when Gannon threw a standing knee strike.

Tank actually got a little juco wrestling experience under his (capacious) belt before he dropped out to pursue a full-time career as a drunken reprobate. Like in his second fight at UFC 6 he beat Paul Varelans by taking him down and beating the poo poo out of him. I would argue Tank in 1995 was more versatile and strictly better than Kimbo ever was.

I turned on AXS just in time to watch some guy eat a knee to the head and now he's trying to get a double-leg takedown on the athletic commission dude because he thinks he's still in a fight

Teddybear posted:Legacy just had a ten second knockout, so far every fight has ended in the first round. I have no idea what this promotion is other than "the thing that's on after NJPW" but I'm pretty sure 3 fights in a row ended within 20 seconds due to crippling head trauma. I think they said 9 minutes of actual fighting in the first 5 fights. e: 10 minutes 15 seconds of fighting on everything up to the main event. lol

Also that knockout was in eight seconds. Dana White is at ringside and to kill time they brought him to the announce desk and were like "hey, how ya doing" "not bad, stealing your talent"
