Kimbo will destroy any reputation or regard that this sport has accumulated over the past seventeen years. I hope that Tank wins this by KO, and the Youtube gangbanger will finally go away.
With ya about 90% on that. Unfort, Tank is the perfect soupcan for them to put in front of Kimbo. He's got "name", he's got the perfect lack of skills & is over the hill enough to stand almost no chance of beating Kimbo at this point.
I'm going to hate to see Kimbo gain credibility, but I expect him to win decisively. He's been working his ground game...and lets face it, it wont take much to beat Tank "I never met a beer I didn't like" Abbot.
Sadly, Kimbo (as much as purists hate him) will be a gate draw at any show he's at. He's like a circus act and sensationalism sells. While he definately detracts from MMA "reputation or regard"...he does bring interest from people who might otherwise not go to a show or watch a fight.
On that note; I'd love to see Tank KO him & see the Youtube gangbanger go away.
