he’s actually not with anyone last I heard. Bas grew pretty frustrated with him not committing to the training like he said he would. Only reason he signed with Bas is because he was told he had to in order to show he was serious.

He will still be a street fighter until we see some real technical fighting. Until then he’s just another old school brawler in the form of a lot of the old/original UFC guys. So hopefully this is a sign that he’s actually committed to it now.

I neglect to see how training under the tutelage of Bas Rutten still qualifies one as a “street fiughter”.

HE BEAT COUTURE AND HERRING! He has definitely proved himself. Is he the best in the world? Hell no. Does he deserve to be in the UFC? Hell Yes. Could he touch Emelianenko? NEVER.

it’s going to be interesting.
why have they allowed his name to surface while kimbo doesn’t get to know who he’s fighting. they can study him but not the other way around?
i hope that’s not the case !?

while the petruzelli loss was unimpresiive other footage was a lot more impressive in terms of his power, attitude, and even some skills and training. will see he may face a relative veteran.

i respect fighters even those who are not top shelf (yet)

but following that statement i also say he is talented. and he only got the belt “title shot” because of his hype from the wwe.

I can’t think of another 1-1 fighter that recieved a title shot. add a little bit of popularity and there ya go

Shaun,
You said, “(T)he only reason why he has the belt is because of the hype from WWE.” I just responded to what you said. If you meant, “The only reason why he got a shot at the belt is because of the hype from WWE,” then you might have an arguable point, but that’s not what you said.

Justin you obviously don’t get what I said. I didn’t say he sucks. He deserves what he has earned.. He was 1-1 when they gave him a title shot. Thats what I’m saying.. Neither one of those fights were as good as they should have been.

Obviously it wasn’t “an idle threat” since Dana came through on his end and made a HW season of TUF and put Kimbo on it, exactly like he said he would.

I thought the reason Lesnar has the belt was because he beat the guy that had it... silly me, I should have known it was just his hype from WWE... what was I thinking.
