Fist Shamrock vs Kimo June 19th

Who wins? Any predictions on how it'll end? Ko, submission??

My guess is shamrock will get kimo in an armbar after it goes to the ground. I would like to see Kimo knock shamrock out with a big right hand though, that would be great!

To tell you the truth I think Kimo will do better than expected. After his loss to Royce he spent all that time training bjj and beat Abbot with a choke quite easily. He has gotten a blackbelt under Joe Morieria who I heard is a very good teacher.

Seems like Kimo and Shamrock have a lot of respect for each other. Kimo has done a great job of cutting down to 220 something from a bulky 267 in UFC 3, is much more focused and less of a brawler and has significantly improved his grappling skills. Kimo vs. Tank, Kimo vs. Sakuraba, Kimo vs. Varelans, Kimo vs. Kosaka...etc.

I think the fight will go the distance, but you will see Kimo land shots from the outside, assuming Shamrock's stand up is the same as it was when he fought Tito.

You will see power grappling from Shamrock, going for the early subs and a more strategical, surgical Kimo figuring out Shamrock.

Its gonna be a good one!!!

Im going for Kimo. He can take one hell of a beating. I think Shamrocks only chance of beating him is on the ground and I think that will prove more difficult that most people think.
