Perfectly executed show by Kimbo's handlers. He takes on a name guy and gets maximum exposure while minimizing risk. I like Kimbo and I think he's a fun story. I haven't seen it but I heard the hype after the match involved Tank Abbot calling him out. Tank would be the perfect next opponent for Kimbo.

I gotta give the match to Tank.

Isn't tank getting ancient and stuff now? Wouldn't this just be the same situation all over again (aging name guy comes in to get murdered?)

Just checked wikipedia. Tank is 42, and would be a heavy underdog. He was 2-4 in his last 6 fights BEFORE going to professional wrestling in 1998. In 2003, when he attempted a comeback, he lost in three UFC events in a row, and then went 1-3 in lower level promotions. and in that 1-6 record he has been KO'd or submitted in the first round 6 times. Tank is pretty much dead on arrival now.

All of which is exactly why he's a perfect fight for Kimbo.
