    Yes. Yes they should ! Unless he wants more money than he deserves of course. Kimbo vs Arlovski would be explosive. Obviously I don't think Kimbo would get far in Strikeforce but from a business standpoint they should pick him up. Kimbo is very popular and win or lose people watch. I think UFC was stupid for dropping him so fast.

    Not if they want to take themselves seriously....but then people can point to the examples of Walker and, to a lesser extent, Lashley. But i really think you have a hard time spinning the case of Kimbo, and the novelty factor must surely be well on the wane now.

    I expect them to pick Daley up

    Seriously, the only route for Kimbo now is Celebrity Boxing or more YouTube. The guy simply doesn't have what it takes.

    Ya but from a business money making stand point Strikeforce should sign him for a couple of fights

    He is done in MMA - he cannot take a leg kick and looked in serious pain. The guy should retire.

    It's obvious from TUF when Kimbo refused to get back into the competition because his knee was injured that he has some chronic knee issues.

    I can't imagine a worse condition to carry into an MMA match. It is probably the easiest target to attack.

    and the Meathead took him out with ease. As I said in one of the other threads. I like Kimbo he comes across like a nice dude and that made it painful to watch him wince with every leg kick.

    I can watch guys get beat up in boxing and MMA but found myself turning away during the Kimbo fight :dunno:

    Forrest Griffin was killing Rampage with those same kicks. Rampage was in pain and trying to get away.

    Rampage was injured, Kimbo is broke.

    kimbo should lay low and train for a whole year then compete in smaller tourneys and keep moving up.
