I don't think that Kimbo has the experiance to handle Tank, to be honest I was never impressed with him or his fights and I think internet hype factor boosts his rep.

I mean who has he fought?

I have never seen him KO anyone they just don't "come up to scratch"

And how long has he been training MMA?

The greatest trainer won't make up for time spent really fighting.

Tank weighed in at around 290 in his last fight, but I also saw him check a leg kick, and even attempt a submission although he was so gassed it didn't have a snowballs chance in hell. Kimbo can't adapt to grappling and open striking rules that fast imho.

He took that fight on short notice for the money.

This fight will be different I think, he is fighting for his perceived postion in MMA history as the official "Streetfighting" man. And from what I have heard he has dropped about 40lbs and if thats true I think Kimbo better watch out.
