    You need to check yourself here dude. Noons fought Diaz twice and TKO'd him in their first fight on cuts...look it up.

    P.S Chris Ferguson is and always was a boxer.I knew dudes who trianed with his brother and he was an excellent boxer. Kimbo is Chris Ferguson dude. Chris is a boxer who tried street fighting and mma to make $$$. He is a bad mma dude and average HW right now as a boxer.

      ETC...ETC...ETC...

      The only MEGA Fight in boxing that was missed was Pac v Money in the last 10 years with very few exceptions from promotional companies.

      GGG is must see tv..but he is not even in at top 3 at MW right now. Sergio v Geale would be MEGA Fight by UFC standards..belt holder vs beltholder.

      We all want to see great fights and will. We don't need one promotional company controlling everything and driving down fighter salaries while making a killing off a flawed product like the UFC does.

      I am more concerned about watching 3 great weekends of sold out BOXING coming up and the drama adds to the sport.
      In MMA, there's no way Danny Garcia is fighting Zab Judah after he just KO'd Khan.

      His next fight would've been Matthysse, then Peterson, then whoever was next in line.

          Yeah if you are pacquiao, mayweather, or cotto 80% of the revenue thats a bit much.

              No man you are right,we would NEVER see a 2-1 fighter who tapped out 1fight before fighting for the UFC HW title EVER get a title shot.Especially after not beating the man,Mir, who he lost to before getting said title shot,right ??? Did I miss something with Brock Lesnar becoming UFC HW champ this way ?

                Run out of MMA ? Is that even possible ? He was the main draw for CBS and then after KTFO'd, he got a shot at the UFC ??? I hate Kimbo,was glad to hear he got KTFO'D...can't wait until it happens in boxing too.I heard it beacuse MMA is not worth watching to me.It sucks donkey balls. Write it down now,Kimbo will be in Bellator or some other MMA Clown Circus soon. If he does well,the U ****ing Cheating Org will give him a title shot like they did with 2-1 Lesnar.

I know Mercer's career and the K1 fights that he "showed up" for and lost. I watched the video of Shannon Briggs destroy a UFC HW Tom Erickson in K1,it means nothing.
