What a bullshit fight. Its pretty clear Elite wants Kimbo as this mainstream star and gave him this fight. Even though he got fucked upside the head on the ground.
He has Zero groundskills whatsoever. Barely has a standup game to boot. All Hype.
Gina on the other hand Gorgeous and talented. The Real gem of this company.
You obviously watched a different fight than i did. He got his brain bashed in in the ground. He seriously has zero skills on the ground. He just layes there.
And He was more staggered in the seccond round and still won it. Ive got no doubt he would have been fine had the ref not interviened.
Im not "offended" by Kimbo living off hype. I dont care that he makes millions while more talented fighters fight for scraps. Triple A teams dont make millions. They dont get the top billing on Wednesday Night Baseball.
What i do care is for a company trying to make it big and compete with the Big Boy in the Room the UFC. Their main event was a joke. This was my first fight that ive seen Kimbo and i just wasnt impressed. Bas probably skipped the ground game at training camp. Kimbo is just Some street thug with very little skill.
Tank Abbot? Side Show. Never had the hype or status that Kimbo has.
Oh and yeah. Any MMAer with a decent ground game cleans Kimbo.
He shoved the ref because of the bullshit stop. Not because he thought it was kimbo
hell Kimbo looked pretty bad having to be helped off the cage by two guys and having to cut the interview. Those werent "love taps"
I rather see technically unsound amateur Kimbo Slice than some of UFC's past HW stuff, like snoozefests between Sylvia and Arlovski.lolwut

That fight was alright. Both had completely shit cardio though. A round's worth of rolling on the ground and they're both exhausted? Did you see how sloppy they were midway through the second round? Both were telegraphing their punches horribly. But, then again, it is Elite XC. Kimbo looked alright on the ground. Bit slow though. I doubt he would have ended up pinned against the cage if he didn't have such ephemeral cardio.
I'm not sure why you would be surprised that Elite XC is trying to build up Kimbo. Have you seen his previous opponents?
Still, it was nice to see him on his back. Hopefully Bas keeps training up his BJJ and he works on his cardio..he's not going to be holding the belt long if he can't make it past two rounds.
By the way, Thompson was taken to the hospital (http://www.newsday.com/sports/custom/boxing/ny-mmaelitexc0531,0,2441240.story) afterwords.
Kimbo slice is in porn videos, and doesn't fuck any of these chicks. He must be a wild homo.
Shit, he could start a UFC type thing for reality kings where who ever wins gets to fuck a pornstar on camera. He'd have to use nobody's as fighters, though I'd like to see Lex Steel fight Shane Diesel in some sort of championship fights(winner gets to fuck more then one chick).
Also, they'd have to fight naked. Anyone who gets a boner while fighting would be disqualified.

I'm not arguing they're minor league fighters. I'm not arguing it was sloppy. I'm not arguing Kimbo is a legitimate heavyweight. I just don't get the hate. It's a small little federation who got a national TV deal and a good chance to get some press for MMA. I mean, UFC could have did the same damn thing, but like I said, Dana White wants to go the greedy boxing route and anything they offer is going to be charged. That's his decision.
