UFC veteraan wilt gevecht tegen Kimbo Slice
Jun 26, 2015 Kort geleden versloeg Kimbo Slice Ken Shamrock in een veel besproken partij. Vooral de wedstrijd zelf deed veel stof opwaaien. Zo zijn velen van mening dat de partij fixed/omgekocht was. UFC Veteraan Ian Freeman daagt nu Kimbo uit.
Ian 'The Machine' Freeman (W-L: 20-7) vocht diverse partijen voor de UFC. Deze vonden begin jaren 2000 plaats. Een van zijn toppartijen is de winst op Frank Mir.
Ian gaf het volgende aan:
""Kimbo is old-school, like me. He's younger, but old-school. I'm not a fool, I'm not going to come back into fighting and challenge a young gun, that's just silly. But there's something about an old-school fight that people love to watch. I love it when people think I'm too old. I've yet to gas out. I still train three hours a day, five days a week and when my guys get ready for fight camp, so do I, and I'm more skilled now than I was 10 years ago. Sure, age isn't on my side, but neither is it on Kimbo's side. I'm not saying I'm gonna win easy, but I will win. Kimbo is a dangerous striker, but I'm a dangerous ground and pound specialist and my submissions are also good now. (It would) be interesting to see who stays standing and who gets it to the ground. Styles make fights. I'm more skilled now than I was in my prime. 15 years as a coach have made my skill level increase dramatically. I know one thing for sure, my shoot would have been a lot faster and better, my rear-naked choke would have put Kimbo to sleep and I wouldn't dive after being hit twice."
Ik ben benieuwd... Wat denken jullie evan? Goeie matchup?
