On another point, I love a good ground battle just as much as a good striking battle if not more. I do not however like to see a guy hold a guy down and do nothing b/c he knows he is helpless on his feet and win a boring decision simply b/c he was on top. I say if the guy on bottom does more damage than he should win the fight but that is just me. So I have no problem w/ standing the fight up if the guy on top is doing nothing more than just holding the guy down. Joe rogan can call it good strategy, technique, or whatever else he wants to but is plain and simply boring. I love watching Nate Diaz when he is on the ground b/c he is constantly working for submissions from every possible position; that is MMA to me, not LnP.....

Agreed. But the way Jeremy Lappen made it sound was that they dont even consider grapplers fighters, and thats not a part of fighting. I just hope Kimbo doesnt murder somebody on national tv, lol. Thats all im saying, I think he is somewhat legit, but they need to give him a credible opponent.. so we can have a better idea of his skills. Right now, hes nothing more than the internet street brawler he used to be. Hes 3-0, but he fought nobodys! I mean seriously, give the guy at least a little bit of a challenge. I would like to see him fight Buentello or someone near his talent.
Also, I agree with Rogan, however im not going to complain if they stand it up because the guy on top is just holding him there and not working.
