Also, Kimbo got gassed out big time and all he really did was wrestle around a bit with the smaller fighter, and chase him around. Wrestling (I wont call it grappling) with Mitrione is going to be a hell of a lot more taxing on his questionable tank.
Don't underestimate the power of the Kimboplex!
I seriously doubt Kimbo is going to be ragdolling Mitrione like that. I don't think Kimbo has the takedowns to get Mitrione down and keep him there. Also, from what I have heard, Mitrione's ground game is not as bad as people think.
I am not betting it, but I expect Kimbo to get put to bed.
[What really freaked people out was when they thought about how this phenomenon might relate to making group decisions about going to war, or launching nukes.]
LOL. Pretty interesting stuff, Svino.
What do you do for a living, by the way? Do you work in academia?
I'm work in a university lab that does research in optical physics. Lasers and shit.

Svino,
I do not recall sending out the nerd signal...
Sorry, that was my own internal nerd signal. The one that's pretty much always on.

Ya he is training with Roufus and Eric shafer. I think it will show in this fight.
Yeah, I think Mitrione's more likely to show up to the fight with improvements to his game than Kimbo is. I've been thinking about a bet on Mitrione ever since the fight was announced, but I think I'm going to chicken out. Roy Nelson said he thought Kimbo would have a substantial advantage on the ground. Normally, I ignore what other fighters say about a match, but Nelson seems like a straight-talker who would be in a good position to know and has little reason to lie. I doubt Kimbo has the skills to sub a bigger guy, but he could get some control points to help with a decision. If I could bet purely against Kimbo by KO, I would, but I don't see prop bets that add up well.
My regrets for this card=
Yoshida, Hendricks, Lawlor parlay...I am scared Yoshida's head is going to get blasted into the audience again.
Belcher over Cote... Belcher's defense scares me.
I doubt Guymon will win this fight. While Belcher's defense is sometimes questionable, I just don't see Cote being able to pull this one out, his first fight in about two years and multiple knee injuries to boot. Belcher should be able to control the distance and the fight in this one with his monster kicks.

I really want to bet Cote but the layoff is holding me back. Instead of just standing there and taking kicks I think Cote will try to push Belcher up against the cage. No way I think he stands there and trades leg kicks
I thought it was interesting the Kimbo came in at 225. That's 10lbs less that normal. I don't think it is because he hasn't gained all the weight back from the Houston fight, I think he's probably been training his ass off. I'm actually pulling for Kimbo.
