And Kimbo Wins
 

Congrats!

Did he fight Danza?

why didnt the ref let the fight end..that stoppage too quick

I think so and he won!

good for him...did bangbros get any coverage?

fling or something?

he is a tough dude.

He's looking pretty good so far

Kimbo was getting his ass kicked until he popped the other guy's ear. Good stop though.

MMA is officially the gayest sport ever... WTF was that stop fight? Fucking let men fight Kimbo would have gotten his ass kicked...

LOL!!!!!

Sorry that was a fix....

Wanna see what real fighters think of it?

Kimbo in 2nd round was not defending himself on the ground

Thompson had a training injury on his ear that merely burst..

Sorry but this was WWE meets MMA

Stopped for no reason in my opinion.

Thompson taking a shot at the ref at the end basically says it all. I'd be pissed too.

yeah I think the fight should of stopped when kimbo was stuck on the ground.. from what I know he was not defending himself.. he has lots to learn on the ground yet.

I laughed at this fight more than ever. reminds me of them shows... "so you think you can fight"

was a decent fight
stopped a little early though :)

what he said.

Nick knows whats up... MMA is sad.... :pimp

THe best fight on card was two females. Go Gina!

Ya for west coast people, this thread title rocks. :arcadefre

I am so pissed off, I tivoed the fight but it only recorded 2 hours (recording ended at the end of the robbie lawler fight fuck!)

Anyone got a link where I can see the kimbo fight?

Thanks,

on the side note.. he done much better than I could have.. could probably kick my ass laying on his back with only 1 arm and outta breath.

Bad stoppage.

Thompson took plenty of big hits int he fight and kept on coming. The bleeding wasn't affecting his vision or anything. Mirragliotta should have let it go a little longer yet. There was no grounds for a stoppage in my eyes.

Either way, that fight fucking sucked. The pair of them were gassed by the end of the second round. Thompson's punches were weaker and slower than shit when he had Kimbo down against the cage, and Kimbo was just laying and praying. BOOOOOOOOOOO!

We got the see Kimbo on the ground, which was nice, and he didn't appear completely hopeless, but I saw pretty much what I had expected. Enough to know that anyone with a real ground game would rip his fucking ass to shreds.

The entire event kind of blew in my opinion. The best fight of the night should have been Lawler and Scott Smith, which may have also been a bad stoppage, but at least we're going to see a rematch. I think they should have given him his 5 minutes personally, but hey, at least i can underdstand their reasoning behind that stop.

In the end I think Gina's fight was the best of the night, and even she came in over weight, slow, and generally fairly lackluster.

This event fucking blew, and I'm glad it didn't cost anything to watch. here's hoping WEC put son a better show tomorrow night.

On another subject. Has anyone else noticed EliteXC taking a real WWF turn here? The entire thing is looking like a novelty show tonight. i had some high hopes for EliteXC becoming a good mma alternative, and tonight hasn't done much to help it grow on me personally. What was with Baroni's fucking WWF entry? For fuck sakes.

Not defending? Or couldn't?

and ...

so what about his ear?

I watched the fight with a MMA fighter ,and afficando and he is disgusted by what harm this show on free TV has done to the rep of MMA.

Thompson had what was effectively a blood blister on his ear. You could see it as he entered the ring.

No doubt from being smart enough to focus training on his ground fighting.

You saw a newbie franchise trying to protect their investment in a new "name"

They should have watched tapes of Don King.

When one fighter you promote losses move to the winners corner.

Hell, King has done it during a fight. LOL

lol look it was the guys first fight that went to the ground. He did good on the ground minus when he got stuck pinned against the cage. It was a good call on the refs part to stop the fight. He hit Thompson with 5 solid unanswered shots. The nigga went cross eyed lol.


Sucks on the Lawyer and Smith fight. Now there was no reason for that one to be stoped :2 cents:

Absolutely.

See the other fix?

Smith should have been allowed 5 mins to recover.Those are the rules.

Not this time.

Not good for TV.

So forget the rules...make it a no contest.

Why didn't he get his ear drained before the fight? That thing just blew up. Still, guys have easily faught through that in the past. I don't get how they call that but don't bother calling it when Kimbo takes 15 elbow shots without even defending himself.

Fact is Kimbo was exposed for what he is. Thompson is a bum who absolutely dominated him on the ground. Kimbo wins with some major help from from the refs. This isn't real, it's WWE. MMA has jumped the shark.

agreed 100%.. first time I watched this EliteXC and I was feeling a little gay at first watching it.. it looked like a joke.. it was different thou and free.

you posted this as i was writing up my rundown on the event. this was exactly what i felt through the entire show. i'm glad i'm not the only one who got this feeling. unfortunately there's probably enough fucking retards who enjoy this to make it successful enough that they run with the format.

I was impressed that Kimbo was able to pull some move soff on the ground. However, the ref could easily have stopped the fight when Kimbo wasn't defending the elbow strikes when he was pinned against the cage in round two. And despite the ear popping, the fight could easily have gone further in round three, and who knows if Kimbo would have knocked him out or not for sure. Kimbo was indeed totally gassed at the end. So he should be proud of having shown some skills, but this definitely lets him know how much he has to learn as well.

Absolutely.

WWE meets MMA.

Looks like a bunch of us saw the same fight.

Goes to prove , we the public are not that dumb.

don't ignore the fact that even gina came into the fight over weight, she seemed slow, and for a while i honestly wasn't sure she was gonna do it. while i considered it the best fight of the night. even it blew. gina could, and i hope she does do better. she needs to train a little harder for her next fight. though she's clearly gained enough fame for herself to do well never having to win a fight again.

Lets just hope he DOES learn from it. It happens to a lot of fighters who are known for early round knockouts. They get matched up against someone who can take them into the late rounds and they just gas out and don't know what to do. it's not going to get an easier for Kimbo than what he has seen so far and it's only going to go uphill. Let shope he sees the mistake she made and doesn't make them again. He needs to condition for endurance a little more, he already has the strength.

I still want to see Kimbo do good, i just think he's way overhyped for where he is right now. That could be a good thing for him, or it COULD turn around on him hard...

Sorry brotha, even if I had the link, not faggish enough to send it... Its bad beyond anything you can imagine...

No he didn't look good on the ground. It looked like Kimbo had 3 months of Brazillian Jiu Jitsu training. He didn't move hips, he didn't close the half guard, he didn't do shit.

Thompson just threw a punch back, right before the ref did his shitty stoppage.

The rules clearly state... Stop the fight if the fighter does not intelligently defend himself. The fight should have been stopped in the 2nd round, when Kimbo was on the fence and could not stop the unanswered blows.

End of story. This is bullshit, watching it with Nick, the whole time I kept going on that the Kimbo myth has been exsposed. A C level fighter was taking Kimbo down, taking his best punches, and kept going.

Kimbo wouldn't be able to hang with a new UFC HW fighter. Sorry to actually say it. Sean Gannon who beat him years ago, didn't last very long in the UFC either, he got his ass whooped by a B Level UFC Heavyweight.

I'm frankly disgusted by EliteXC, it has done more to make MMA a fucking farce as a real sport, than McCain did in the dark days pre 2000.

hmmm ... what a fuckin' joke

hmmm ... what a fuckin' joke

lol

People just don't THINK of the poor west coasters. :D

Kimbo knocked him into next week. He was FUCKING OUT on his feet....holy shit were any of you watching it??????

where your glasses next time please. he took ALOT of big punches int hat fight and he kept comign back. he was not out at all, and easily could have taken kimbo down again and won the fight on the ground in my opinion. the stoppage was bad. no question. what would have happened next, who knows? if it stayed standing, kimbo would have won shortly. if thimpsonwas able to get kimbo down, he likely would have won on the ground. the fight was stopped to early to find out, and without good reason. miraggliotta can suck my sweaty nutsack. shitty call. i wonder how much they pay him to make sure kimbo wins...

Yeah Thompson was knocked out on his feet, so knocked he threw a punch back before the ref stopped the fight.

In fact you are right, Thompson was knocked out on his feet too in the 2nd round when Kimbo hit him with a combo, then he took Kimbo down to the ground and pounded on him for the majority of the 2nd round.

I've watched Thompson get knocked the fuck out in at least 3 fights, his last fight with EliteXC, he got his clocked clean, by "The Dreaded" Rogers who fought tonight. You don't know what you are talking about.

I was wathcing The Glass Jaw Thompson....knocked out ...what ...9 TIMES in the last 9 fights of his or so........he is a big guy and fought Kimbo a good fight....but got his ass handed to him.....

Sounds more like bullshit, you looked up his record and came up with that. I'm one of the biggest MMA geeks I know, and I haven't seen him fight in Cage Rage, or Urban Destruction to see any of those knockouts.

I've seen him knocked the fuck out by Fujita, Aleks Emelianko, both from Pride FC, and Rogers last Elitexc. He got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT, not on his feet, out cold.

Kimbo did not do that tonight, and this stop was utter bullshit.

The rules again state: A fight shall be stopped if a fighter does not intelligently defend himself.

that was round 2 when Kimbo was up on the fence getting punched and elbowed in the face with impunity by Thompson.

The stoppage was bullshit.

I can't believe there is so much controversy over a lowgrade fight between two lowgrade fighters. The championship bout wasn't even the headline fight? What's with that? :1orglaugh I've been watching EliteXC for a few events now and was hoping to see them pick up some better fighters and make a run at things, but after this event I can say they have lost any and all credibility to me as a fight fan. it's plain to see they're taking the dramatic wwf hyping a steamy shitlog approach to things...

I agree. The worst thing about this is one of American Top Team's fighters is fighting next Elitexc for a title, (KJ Noons vs Yves Edwards), and I'm so fucking turned off by this last show, that I don't know if I can stomach it to watch Yves fight. :(

I could'nt agree with you more Tony :(

anyone have a link to the fight if its been posted already?

What a scam.

Kimbo got beat silly for like half of round two -- on the ground like a girl.

This looks fixed to me.

Rematch.

it's on youtube.. search "Kimbo slice" / set search to "today"

A tough dude who "FELL TO THE GROUND LIKE A GIRL TO REST" the moment the ref called the fight too quickly.

The other fighter wanted to go on. Bloody ear or not.

Scam.

If they didnt end in in round 2, ending it like that is retarded as fuck.
preferential treatment by the ref for sure... EliteXC is depending on kimbo to be their milestone fighter and if he loses that would not go well for business. Hopefully EliteXC will fail in mma like the XFL failed in football.

Lets just hope they start bringing in tag team mma and ladder matches.

If you don't think this was bullshit, please refer to the Baroni fight.

Baroni was not defending himself and it was stopped.

Kimbo was not defending himself and it was NOT stopped.
