This is K1, not UFC. Sapp never fought in UFC.

This fight was largely ready to go, with K1 rules where Sapp had a small chance of winning, but Tyson's felon status kept him from getting to the Japanese venue.

If you're told before you enter the tunnel that the person at the other end is going to sexually assault you and you choose to enter anyway, is that consent?

This "artist" has an obsession with making an impact but doesn't seem to give a shit if it's positive or negative. Look how excited he is about the model: "The point of this long aside is that all this took place two years ago, and I’m still having an impact on this young lady’s life, something not many other artists could claim about their work."

Sounds like he's got an ego that cannot be fed. He's an attention whore... he needs to feel important but he'll never be important because he has no talent, skill, compassion, etc.

I wonder if he built the tunnel such that nobody larger than him could fit through? I think it would be awesome to send Bob Sapp through the tunnel.

Indeed. But I look at Football like Chess on grass. You have your set pieces, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. This is a classic strategy that is the very heart of Football: Show your opponent one thing, hit him with something else entirely. It's why the screen-pass is a staple in every coach's playbook (fake going down-field while the defensive linemen drool at the possibility of a sack, while blockers set up in front of the receiver of a short pass), why running out of a 4-wide formation can put a defetnse on its heels (show a defense a passing formation, then run the ball instead), and why the Tackle-Eligible play works, even when Warren Sapp is called into the offensive formation (who's going to try and throw a pass to someone who's a starting defensive lineman?)

As Sun Tzu said: "All warfare is based on deception."

This is almost as cool as the Music City Miracle, the last-ditch play that put the Titans in the Super Bowl against Kurt Warner's Rams (where McNair would come one yard shy of winning).

Fixed, thanks.

Bob Sapp may suck at a fighter, but i still admire him for the amount of muscles he has. Next to Mike Tyson, he makes Tyson look like a rag doll (though Tyson can obviously beat him up).

Thanks bro.

Ah, Bob Sapp: setting back MMA's public image, one fight at a time.

Things to keep an eye out for in this clip:
1. Bob Sapp running away in circles and balling up, cartoon-style, while his opponent wails on him.
"Footwork? What the hell is footwo - OH GOD DADDY NO MORE PLEASE NO"

2. Bob Sapp trying to make an impossible combination submission of three different leg locks, and not getting a single one right.
"Near-side shin blocking for a heel hook, near-side leg crossing for a straight ankle lock. Or was it the other way around? ....can I do a toe hold from here? Dammit, I should have paid attention in all those poreresu classes."

3. Bob Sapp laying head-forward while his opponent kicks him in his massive skull.
"Spin to guard? OUCH! What, you mean - OUCH! - pretend I'm a security guard? OUCH! Stop kicking me!"

4. Bob Sapp playing with dolls.
"Medication? Fuck medication, I'm in control! RARRARARARGHHHH"

Automatic upvote for Bob Sapp on a game show.

You're right, I didn't mean to compare Kimbo to Sapp physically or skillwise, sorry if I was unclear about that. To clarify, I think Kimbo is like Sapp in that both are allowed to fight in pro MMA because of the entertainment they offer as personalities, not as skilled fighters.

I guess I can see where Kimbo has the "ImmagonnalaysomepaindownonyabrothagetreadycuzitstimeforHULKAMANIABABY" attitude down pretty well, but I really question whether this is the result of strength of character or whether he has yet to have had the fear of God put into his soul via the 4-ouncers of a truly dangerous fighter.

P.S. I'm guessing you already know about him, but if you want to see a really gritty, excellent fighter, Mirko Crocop, regardless of his latest performances, stands out in my mind as a truly intimidating fighter. It's not so much only that's he's a scarily good striker, but the fact that he fights with the attitude of "Ok, you might hit me, and you might take me down, but sooner or later I'm going to find a place to put my foot or shin and more likely than not that place will be between your ears, and it's not coming out until I SAY it does."

I see that you have quite a bit of MMA knowledge, rembar. I guess time will only tell if Kimbo is a great fighter, they cancelled the fight with him and Tank Abbott so it will be a while before we see him in a professional fight. I wouldn't compare him to Bob Sapp though, Bob's all muscles with no stamina, after a minute of every fight he looks like he's going to pass out with his heavy breathing. There's something about Kimbo, more then just the skills he has(or lack of) (punches, muay thai kicks, grappling holds) he has no sense of fear or hesitation that you see in other fighters, he's almost like Iron Mike of the 80s (for me anyways).

Mercer is not "one of the best". He had basically no training in grappling or MMA, meaning he was a can in this fight. Anybody who knew anything about MMA called the outcome of this fight as soon as it was announced. Hell, Mercer didn't even know enough pull guard when he hit the ground, he just flopped around like a fish out of water. Even when Kimbo got the guillotine, he caught it from butt-scoot, without leg control, and Mercer moved into the single worst position for himself. A one-stripe WB BJJer could have passed to side control with that weak-ass crap, but, unfortunately, Mercer doesn't have the skill of a one-striper.

Kimbo is a semi-decent boxer, with a modicum of grappling skills. Wow, a guy with a bit of grappling training took out a guy with no grappling training, how unexpected! Color me unimpressed. Kimbo's never going anywhere in good pro MMA. He's a sideshow, like the guys they have doing freak-show fights in K-1 Hero. He's Bob Sapp without the funny Japanese gameshow appearances. The only reason I don't think he's an outright joke is the fact that El Guapo has seen fit to lend an ounce of his brilliance to the guy.
