Kimbo will fight British behemoth 6'5" James Thompson on May 31st on Elite XC. I have never heard of Thompson and was wondering if anyone knew anything about him.

This may be news to you, but MMA guys 'come up' alot faster than boxers. It's very hard to find a guy with even 10 pro fights who is still undefeated.
Since there are alot less MMA fighters, you have to fight better guys alot sooner in your career than in boxing. Since it's such a young sport, there also aren't many has-beens around to pad your record with either. Also, amateur MMA is nowhere as in depth as boxing amateurs. So you you don't have alot of guys with a ton of amateur fights getting to fight pros with no amateur experience for their first 10 or so fights.
He is not being brought up slowly, he is quite frankly being coddled to a ridiculous degree.

James "The KO Loss us" Thompson. He isn't that bad but his chin is possibly the worst I've ever seen. It's made of glass.
Thompson has been KO'd 5 times in the first and 7 times overall out of 8 losses.
Here's his most recent KO loss. I wonder why they didn't give the fight to the guy who beat Thompson...Last edited by TheGreatA; 04-18-2008, 02:56 PM.
