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

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Lesnar isnt a washed up fighter.. so he'd better watch out with what he says.. If he loses to Shamrock he is not more skillful than Lesnar.

both got stand up.....and both got "no" ground game...The only edge i will give over lesner is he has a wrestling background, that'll help him.

Kimbo has a better boxing background and standing on his feet. But lesner is a more quicker and stronger athlete being that he has a stud with his wrestling. It might take one punch to knock someone out but to last 15 minutes with a cardio machine, I think Bas jumped the gun a lil too early with his statements.

Lesnar displayed not alot in his 3 fights. other than G&P, what other skills where displayed? where any sub attempts made? what about slice did he try to sub James?(been so long i forgot what happened in that match other than a ear popping)

Bas is speaking the truth.. He didnt say " Slice WOULD beat him. He just commented on there skills. IMO
