My Grandmother is still kicking. And she still has a mean, but slow left hook.

Lesnar? I doubt it cause he will own Kimbo on the ground, but ya never know
Any wrestler or Jits guy would destroy him. And I'm not sure how you find a worse striker or more glass jawed guy than Thompson. Kimbo is now going to get fed even worse guys and won't get a sniff of a decent fighter for a looooong time.
Just put him in with an actual heavyweight, let him get destroyed, and be done with it. Kimbo should be a lessen learned: If you're a thug, you can't compete with true athletes who have honed their craft for years.

I would love to see Lesnar tear Kimbo up. Lesnar's a neophyte, too, but he's at least a real athlete. And with the way Kimbo was getting taken down by Thompson, I have no doubt Lesnar would double leg him through the damn cage.

Rodgers would destroy him.
Thompsons takedowns were slow and ploding and he still took kimbo down multiple times, too bad he didn't know what to do when he had him down.....James was gassed badly also.

Thompson is as bad on the ground as they come. Kimbo, somehow, manages to be worse. I think Houston Alexander's ground skills would have amounted to a submission on Kimbo :patsch

Well it seems that chinless opponents are now quite dangerous for him as well. Maybe some small chinless guy that cannot take him down?

I am curious how this pans out too; because Kimbo ain't getting any younger!
They may have to start finding people in wheelchairs for him to fight.

They will have to dig pretty hard into guys with somewhat of a name that won't kill Kimbo.

But he already foght Tank. Oh wait Cabbage is still outthere.
Butterbean would slaughter Kimbo.
Minowa would flying arm bar him.
I think the only person left for Kimbo to fight, then, is Giant Silva.

300 pound Mike Tyson?
Maybe a Paul Buantello would have been perfect....or Cabbage something like that....Thompson was almost out on his feet, give him credit his eyes rolled back in his head a few times and he still stayed on his feet. But to this ref it just didn't matter.

Buentello would have laid Kimbo out.

I'm not sure about that, kimbo does have great hands and he landed on Thompson a few times. Surprisingly enough Thompson stayed awake. They will never let him fight a guy like Ricco Rodriguez. Shaw will milk him as long as he can but he knows what is inevitable.

Jose Canseco might be right around the bend (assuming he makes it past Vi Sickahemia in their "boxing" match)

Not joking here Ken Shamrock maybe,Kimo possibly or Don Frye somebody old and shot.

Sadly, I think Shamrock and Frye could take Kimbo, if they can get him down.

Me too aswell as Kimo. Kimbos ground game was attrocius I felt like everytime the fight went down it was a slow mo replay of 2 drunk guys in a prison fight. Why the fuck is Kimbo allowed to have a beard thats a thick as headgear ?

Hmmm. Frye lost to Thompson. I would rather see Kimbo-Shamrock but would hate if Shamrock lost. Shamrock was much better than Kimbo but he is shot so it would be a 60-40 for Shamrock IMO.

Same reason he's allowed to have the ref help him win, I guess. He's an "Internet SENSATION!" so he gets special treatment. I bet he gets caviar in his dressing room.

It makes sense for Gary Shaw. Huge name in MMA, but old, completely shot and much smaller. With that said, Shaw can rot in hell.

The ref didnt do anything he wasnt doing the whole night. Look at the other fights. He should have let Kimbo finish him however.

Kimbo was in much worse trouble when he took upwards of 20 straight unanswered elbows.
Hopefully he fights Carano next, she would be a huge favorite.
Kimbo vs. Blake Bowman next?

Maybe dust off that cop for a "legitimate" rematch.

He could have stopped it after round two when Kimbo took more than ten seconds to get up after the round was over. Still both calls were questionable and not necessarily wrong.

They should have Kimbo fight a legit guy and be done with him....Like someone posted eatrlier,let the kids see that his way of life and getting where he did and how he did is all BS

He is definately the new tank abbot anyone with skills will beat him

can we just get him to fight matt skelton from the uk.
a heavyweight boxer who can bang has held the WBU title and has fought MMA in the past and was also a world kickboxing champ.
this way we can see how good kimbo's punch is and would be an interesting fight. can see kimbo getting KTFO though

As mentioned above - there are still plenty of warm bodies for Kimbo to fight as he works out the many wrinkles in his game:
Cabbage
Gan McGee
Eddie Sanchez
Wes Sims
others. . .
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Thompson vs Kimbo rematch. It's still a reasonably safe fight for Kimbo and one that could be sold due to the questionable stoppage.

At the post event press conference Shaw said the next event on CBS might be called ‘Unfinished Business' as they want the Lawler vs Smith rematch on that card.

With Ricco in Elite XC id love to see him grapple fuck Kimbo.
