      A lot of people are going on about Mercer's age, but It's still a guy with limited ability who's never fought professionally against a guy who's fought for many years earning a living as a professional and doing it at the very top for some of those years. Ground game and kicks etc are just not going to come into it; Rome wasn't built in a day, so even if Kimbo has trained a bit in MMA, I doubt he will try and utilize any of what he's been taught. I think both guys will do what comes naturally.

      It has to be Mercer. I'll be surprised if Kimbo beats him, even an old Mercer.

          See, Tompkins and Bas have Kimbo training take downs to side control and elbows. Mercer is going to quit really quickly if the fight ends up there.

          Good thing because Slice looked sloooow working that heavy bag.

          Vegas has Slice as the favorite too. Internet hype is unbelievable.

          Rome wasn't built in a day, so even if Kimbo has trained a bit in MMA, I doubt he will try and utilize any of what he's been taught
          He's been training MMA for more than a year. That's enough to take someone down from the clinch in my opinion
