Tappin' Out

Is this like a common sentiment among cage fighters?

I just wanted to know how this was looked upon in the MMA community.

Kimbo is a notorious streetfighter (he's got dozens of vids on youtube) and also a part time porn star (he's got a few vids on another tube)

Every martial artist and fighter I know and respect understands the value and logic of tapping out. How can you get better without putting yourself up against people who will make you tap? Its like learning to box but asking not to be punched.

Kimbo isn't someone I would class as an MMA Fighter, Athlete or Sportsman. Therefore I couldn't care a less what he thinks, apart from maybe the release date of his next Bang Bros vid.........you know those bitches tap.

He should be choked out and broken... (in that order)

**kingoftheforest** · 05-27-2008, 04:56 PM

Like a chicken Tanto?

That's great feedback guys. Why do so many people hate him? He looks like he trains hard and he can obviously fight fairly well. Why all the hatin' ?

I have no idea if people hate him, I don't, just don't care about him either - for the reasons stated previously.

**Britt** · 05-27-2008, 05:00 PM

I don't think even Kimbo believes that, he's just doing an ad and shooting his mouth off to be funny. If he trains, he taps.

There is no room for that mentality among sport enthusiasts. If you're a frikin NINJA, fine. If you want to break people for fun it's perfect. You can easily cause serious damage if you wait for the ref to break it up...

Taping out is what makes fighting a sport. Otherwise it's just fighting...
