Default Who should Kimbo fight next?

I would say Kimo Leopoldo.

KL is no newbie to the sport and brings some good technical skills and athleticism. He is probably in better physical condition than Kimbo and has enough experience to really test him.

KL is 6'2" weighs 235-lbs. He has a fight record of 11W-7L-1D.



Kimbo is also 6'2" and has slimmed down to 240-lbs. His official record is now 1W-0L-0D.

How about Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. This Brazilian is no lightweight and I think he against Kimbo would be a bloody hell of a fight.

Noguiera would beat Kimbo. Would it be a piece of cake? Probably not but Nog would barely break a sweat.

I think KL would be more the man to beat since Kimbo is still learning.

KL is a decent fighter, approximately the same size and has enough experience/skill to push Kimbo to his limits, especially in the grappling range.

Yes, Kimbo still has a little more to gain in experience, but he's on his way up. I think he can win.

Mir actually came across my mind after I wrote about Kimo. Sapp vs Kimbo would be interesting in the same way Sapp vs. Kimo was, but also a good one.

Never thought of Babalu or Gonzaga, but those are good choices as well.

How about Kimbo vs. Frank Shamrock?
