Liddell Insults Kimbo

So is that a real fight? I mean come on! The guy tapped before he hit the matt - he was tapping on the way down!

Sean Gannon beat him didn't he? And how long did Gannon last in the UFC?!!

Kimbo's one of those guys who doesn't have any ground game. He's training and he's learning but he's been built up as such a big star and that's the thing that bothers me.

People talk about him like he's the next great thing when he really hasn't done anything.

He's been built up because of the Internet and him beating a bunch of guys on the street.

I could make some impressive knockout videos too if you let me walk outside and just punch people and knock them out – hey you, come fight!

F*** we can make a highlight reel tomorrow and go round beating people up and talking about it – we could just go up to people and start dropping them – wow!"

Im sorry but just because Chucks style favors grinding it out on the feet does not in anyway mean that Chuck has "no ground game". Has kimbo ever been a stand out Divsion 1 wrestler for Cal Poly? Does Kimbo have any formal training in Ju Jitsu? I think you need to expand alittle bit on what ground game is, being a former wrestler helps a ground game more then you ever know, even if he doesn't activly use it.

Even when people tried to take him down and couldn't hold him down for all that long which IMO is also apart of a sucsessfull ground game.

Now that hes on the Decline of his career I guess we'll see, if he changes his gameplan to involve it abit. But it still thinks foolish to compair a former Divsion 1 wrestler and someone with formal JuJitsu training three times a week to a street fighter.
