has anyone seen the african decent guy on the internet named "kimbo"? ive seen many of his videos. he gets set up to fight people on the street for money. big guy and straight brawler who comes at you like an unstoppable train. they are out there. always concerned about crossing the path of such a guy whos out there just like that and half nuts or brain is fried from drugs and wants your money and such. if anyone know who im talking about, what would be your strategy against such a powerhouse??

I've trained in martial arts for years, and if I'm ever faced with an opponent like this, I'd RUN, I have very little chances to beating up a guy like this, he is BIG, and knows how to throw a punch. Unless i become Sean Gannon (the white guy who beat Kimbo, look him up), I would run like hell.

A guy like kimbo is a worst case scenario in a way. He's not unstoppable. Gannon showed that but the dynamics of two guys squaring off and stalking around are a whole different universe from being attacked. If you watch the gannon/kimbo video you see that a really simple and poorly applied guillotine choke took the wind out of his sail. The guy is a monster no doubt, with lots of practical experience from prison. That is a pretty severe school and I don't think you are prepared for that type of training experience. Plus this guy has something that is really rare (apparently) and that is good bone structure in his hands for punching with bare knuckles. Notice too that he rarely fights anybody with any level of skill or conditioning whatsoever, which leads to the perception of invincibility. My strategy chould that worst case scenario arise? Clinch, headbutt, gouge, seperate, and run. I suspect that his "crew" would stomp your azz if you got a single leg and started to ground and pound. They tried to jump in on the Gannon fight when things weren't going his way. A situation like that is too easily avoided though to really expend much mental energy on it. If you feel like you can't avoid it, get bigger, stronger and get in shape.

He is unstoppable.
But that does not classify him as a skilled Martial Artist
rather a skilled Fighter
you see without the Ancient Ways all ya have is Well Educated Fighting
Now how to stop him
ok
get a camera, make a video of him being a threat and show a cop
waw he is now in the MMA
yep trust m he will get the chance to test his skills out all he wants, with medical Attention available.

Dont know who you are talking about, but know the kind of guy youre talking of. You simply hit them in soft organ areas, such as the throat, diaphram, nose, eyes, kidneys, etc. Stay away from the face and head, especially the belly, it wont do any good accept get you close enough to him so he can grab you and hurt you. After each punch, you move away, not backwards, but to the side, basically move circles around him, attacking all the soft spots you see.
If you find your self behind him, do a downward stomp, wether it is straight on or to the side on his knees. Dont try it when you are facing him, he will simply reach out and get you. Stay out of his reach as much as possible and if he charges you, dont get out of his way until he is close to you. I know it sounds weird, but if you move too soon, he will simply redirect himself and catch you off gaurd.

Ive been in this stiuation.A side kick to the knee when he is charging u works well or if u have any type of wrestling backround like i do (2nd team all city lost to the same kid at the states) an ankle-pick or single leg takedown should give you time to get away.

Yeah ive seen kimbo, and ive seen him lose. A big guy that knows how to fight stood toe to toe with him and it took like 10 minutes but he finally took kimbo down... but kimbo is mean, but beatable.

What??? Are you in a street fighting circuit? If not, you don't have anything to worry about. If you're a jackass who worries about some big black guy beating you up because you called him a '******' or you have something to prove, just get over it. Either way, you will lose and it would be your best bet to just keep your fights sanctioned.

If you have to ask, I'd keep my money in my pockets, and try to pick a new sport.

WTF is it with you and street fighting? You asked similar question at least four time. You seems to be really paranoid about getting attacked by someone. What's up with that?
