Like anyone new to the sport he needs time to develop. I think it's highly unfair to write this guy off so early.

I believe he is still waiting to see if he gets picked up by strikeforce. It sounds like he wants to fight, just not sure where he will be doing it.

His style is still a little unorthodox but I must agree slightly with Jeff, with the right attitude and rounding out his game to become a more complete fighter in his weight class he will need to develope a ground game and become a little more fluid with his movement around the ring he is a very flatfooted fighter He still looks like a street brawler in the cage.

In 3 years time you won't even hear his name mentioned anymore..he will go back to doing security for the porn industry. Kimbo’s a flash in the pan in my opinion!

If he’s serious about MMA and willing to work for less. why not?

But I don’t see Strikeforce being silly enough to try and use him as the company’s face right away, Coker seems like a smart guy.
