Peeked MMA interest
February 18, 2008I'm a fan of the backyard brawl. Something about seeing two guys knock the snot out of each other does it for me.
I've watched about every backyard fight posted on YouTube.com. It's a rush, and I don't really know why.
Over the past year one guy in particular has risen through the ranks by sheer lore. His name, Kimbo Slice.
The guy is a beast. He basically was a bare-knuckle fighter for the longest time, but about 8 months ago he started getting into mixed martial arts. I think he stands at about 6'4" and weighs about 250 pounds. Just a guess, but there aren't a lot of guys in that weight class able to compete.
I was never really a fan with MMA, but I'm turning the corner -- mainly because the Ice Man, Chuck Lidell lost and Kimbo Slice's rise through the ranks.
Kimbo has only lost once, according to what info I've run across. It was early fight against Sean Gannon, an ex-cop, who at the time was a MMA fighter. Kimbo wasn't. Youtube it and see a brutal fight.
Here is a link to Kimbo's Saturday (Feb. 16) fight. I don't want to embed the video mainly because its a fight and its graphic.
