StrikeForce needs to sign Daley and Kimbo

they should sign them also to get them in the EA game which is basically a SF game as far as Im concerned

Kimbo's already in the UFC game so that means he signed his likeness away to them. No other games for him.

Coker says he's in no hurry to sign them. But I think he's lying or he's a fool. Maybe he just said that to send a message to both fighters agents as to say I don't need you, you need me type thing.

Kimbo should fight at Ligh-Heavyweight

Kimbo needs to retire, he's in no condition to fight.

I'm sure he can still make money off his celeb status, he will be a character forever

Dude Kimbo is gonna lose a couple times in either SF or Dream before he retires

Is Kimbo popular in Japan?

Aren't all big, muscular black dudes who like to stand up popular in Japan?

I like Kimbo, his skills aren't bad, but 1)he is not a heavy, 2)his conditioning is awful, 3)his legs are super fragile.

But I'd be interested in Kyle vs Kimbo.

1. He can't cut to 205, he proved that by stuggling to hit 215,
2. For a MMA fighter, his skills are that bad.

The Jap's love freakshows and that's exactly what Kimbo is as a fighter so I assume he'd be huge in Japan. They still love Bob Sapp for crying out loud.

well learning to cut weight needs to be part of his regiment if he wants to continue as a fighter. I mean, has he never heard of ex-lax?

His stand up skills are decent, and he has proven fairly capable at picking up and throwing dudes around. His skills are not UFC worthy, but let's not act like he's a complete chump.

Kimbo needs to go the route of reality TV, that is where he can be most profitable. I'm not real interested in seeing him fight cans and would never pay money for it.

Mike Kyle standing is as close to a K-1 level guy as most MMA guys ever get. That would be the best striker he has ever faced by far. That would be a horrific beatdown. Plus he left Strikeforce a few fights ago. Unless they were using Kimbo to build Kyle up for showdowns against Overeem or Rogers that fight makes no sense.

Beyond Walker, Lavar "Big" Johnson is a fight that would make a ton of sense. Lavar is a guy Strikeforce likes and has had headlining shows since his return from the gunshot wound(street cred maybe beats Kimbos?). Lavar is better than Kimbo obviously, but honestly if Kimbo keeps improving like he has(yo he showed some improved skills early in the fight against Meat) he would certainly put up a good fight. Kimbo could even beat Lavar concievably.

Kyle like Kimbo should be campaigning at 205. At least here, Kyle would most certainly stand, and 205 or heavy Kimbo would have a size adv. I don't see this as much unlike Houston Alexander.

I think Lavar would prove a tougher challenge, he has a size adv, and uses his jab and kicks well from distance, his jab especially.

It is kind of odd that Kyle is not with the org, he beat one of their top 205 prospects in Cavalcante, loses to one of their best heavies in Werdum the very next fight, and hasn't fought for them since. But my guess is that his # is still on the sf cell phone, and he'd answer if they did call. In the mean time he is earning wins in the open waters.
