But then I thought about it, he came from a different arena with different rules. Think about it, you take Brock out of MMA and put him in the ring against, let's say a in his prime Lenox Lewis only going by boxing rules and Lewis kills him. You get the same if the roles were switched between the two. Kimbo was great at street fighting, it had little rules except for no submission and choke holds. You could lock up while on your feet but that was it, the rest was bare knuckles. Different rules. Different arena. I think that if MMA was exactly the same as bare knuckle fighting, then you would have a different story. MMA isn't for him. I thought Kimbo would do better than he has in MMA.
