For a lot of MMA nerds (like me), Kimbo is more of a blemish to the legitimacy of the sport and a joke than some here think he is. Kimbo got his shot at the upper level MMA events because he has street fights on the internet and he is marketable. Another fighter, Sean Gannon, was in one of Kimbo's videos and beat him; he fought once in the UFC on the coattails of that video and was destroyed by Brandon Lee Hinkle, another fighter that isn't good enough in my opinion to be anywhere near the UFC cage.
Don't get me started on Rickson Gracie. LOL.
