      He's famous becuase kids spend so much time online and they know kimbo because his figths are everywhere. Thats what all the fuss is about, also he's beeing used by the mma companys as advertisement as all the kids that know him will want to watch him fight.

        He'll be on the next Ultimate Fighter the HW version. Nah, I don't know that would be kind of funny though.

          Is there a real difference between that and Manfrey getting fame from a television show and getting a shot at Calz?
          manfredo beat some decent fighters, and got robbed against sergio mora... he was also a ranked fighter before he went on the contender, all kimbo has done is beat street bums and maybe a shot ray mercer.... which in no way should constitute a title shot in any sport.... ray mercer is far past his prime as a proffesional boxer and is brand new to mma.




          btw i still got mercer to Ko this guy.... and end his 15 minutes.

            Maybe he could rematch Gannon in some sort of MMA fight and take it from there if he wins.

            I'll be surprised if he beats Mercer though.

              A Money mark is. No pro organization will pick him up.

              And all honesty, if one mark didn't pick him up, another one will.

              At least the Green Ranger is doing things right and is going through a legit amatuer promotion.

                First off I got him KO'ing Kimbo too.

                Secondly no one is saying that Kimbo would get a chance at the Champ but he might get a chance at regular UFC fighters.

                Manfredo was no where near worthy enough to fight Calz.

                However my basic point is that both Kimbo and Manfredo have gotten there shots from popularity and not from deeds done or great ability.

                So boxing fans cann't really wag the fingers at UFC and feign being holier than thou.

                  the first post of this thread was asking if he would get a title shot...


                  manfredo was a ranked guy when he fought manfredo, he wasnt the number 1 contender but he was in the top 10 i believe
