Bas Rutten “Kimbo Has More Skill Than Lesnar.”

EliteXC held their Conference Call today and it was quite a lively affair. In addition to the usual banter between Ken Shamrock and Kimbo Slice(during which Shamrock certainly held his own) there was an interesting comment made by Slice’s trainer Bas Rutten. Here’s the gist of it(not a direct quote):

Kimbo has much more skill than Brock Lesnar and feels he is a more well rounded fighter. Bas doesnt want to take anything away from Lesnar, but he feels Kimbo is just better.

Rutten has been known to be a straight shooter in the MMA world, but this statement is a hard one to justify, especially after Slice’s last performance. EliteXC CBS Saturday Night Fights takes place on October 4th and will feature Ken Shamrock returning to action against mainstream MMA fighter Kimbo Slice.


***Cmon Bas! that's not True***

I don't really like Lesnar, in fact I am not a fan of his at all, but he is way better than Kimbo as an MMA fighter. It's not even close. That would mean that Kimbo has a shot against Couture, because I think that Lesnar has a shot against him. That is insane.

id like to see Kimbo underneath Brock, he couldnt get James Thompson off of him.

Kimbo definitely could knockout Lesnar but lesnar would take him to the ground and wear him out all night long. kimbo would have to land a punch early to win.
