What people don’t understand is that against the right competition anyone looks competent. Kimbo agrees that he isn’t at his peak yet and he still has a lot to learn. Kimbo has gotten more attention than he deserves for his record but that is what promoters do. That is why Floyd Mayweather Jr. was in the WWE ring.
Kimbo has natural talent but the point of the UFC is to learn what works. Just boxing and striking rarely pans out. Kimbo has his age against him as well but he needs to learn the aspects of the ground game. Case in point, Brock Lesnar is an exceptionally talented athlete with a wrestling background. He was caught in a somewhat simplistic heel hook. In a year that kind of thing probably won’t happen again.
I think this is the only issue fighter have with Kimbo and it is really with the promoters. Kimbo doesn’t say he can beat anyone out there and I applaud him. The fighters are also annoyed that the public doesn’t get that. In his prime Mike Tyson would not have been able to step in the Octagon and expect to beat a champion.
