Those are some bragging rights. b,121b,121b,121b,121Oh, and this is my new girlfriend: b,121b,121b,121img src="http://fadedproductions.com/gfight3/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/gina-carano-training.jpg"1

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Seriously, Kimbo sucks. Has always sucked. Elite has been setting him up with wash ups to build up his career and fame and once anyone with even basic modern skills tests him he fails. b,121b,121Everyone who knows even the slightest thing about the MMA game has known this day would come whenever Kimbo actually had REAL competition.b,121b,121Also not letting Shamrock fight because for being overweight by 1 pound is a f*cking joke. Elite's other marquee star, outside of Kimbo, Gena Carano,has been overweight in 6 out of 8 matches, no issue there. She won't be so much of a star after Cyborg gets to her however. A fight that Elite will never let happen, because they truly only care about starpower. They'd rather have an attractive champ who brings in new male and female fans alike than an unattractive MONSTER.b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1

    At first, I thought maybe Ken getting the cut was a plan by EliteXC to garner some kind of interest for a fight and then at the last minute have Kimbo beat up a nobody instead. Seriously is there any more of an embarrassing way to lose? Knocked the F*ck out from a jab by a TUF cast-off with pink hair and a karate kid stance on national television at the height of your hype train? EliteXC is fucked. They are lucky Gina won at least.

    The sad part about this is that I don't think Ken would've beaten Kimbo..

    font class="post"1b,121b,121yeah Kimbo runs in blindly with his head up, it's an easy target. Plus the first few shots always land the hardest cause you haven't warmed up yet.
  • breadwinnerbreadwinner 535 Posts
    Yeah, I wouldn't really say he was 'knocked out' -- I don't really know the rules, but I feel like if the ref had left them alone and let them sort it out, Kimbo would have been able to recover. Clearly this Seth guy was scared shitless and Kimbo looked ready to jump back in while speaking to the ref.b,121b,121I vote that the shit was fixed.

    Honestly, it was kind of entertaining seeing Kimbo do the MMA thing..but I prefer the old street fighting Kimbo. I'd rather watch a bareknuckle backyard style street fight any day of the week.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I dunno why my dvr didn't catch it, but don't spoil it for me. I'm downloading the whole event right now.b,121b,121This looks like the end of Elite. Elite does have some decent fighters in their stable, but they chose hype over substance. Now that their #1 draw is no longer the superman that every MMA noob thought he was, they're probably shitting on themselves for gambling on the long shot and not taking the slow steady approach. They should have backed the somewhat less marketable but more talented fighters they already have signed, ie., Cung Le, Rua, Fezao, Noons, Shields, brett rogers, etc.b,121b,121Financially they're sunk, they asked for a 3.5 million dollar loan from showtime just to handle operating expenses, only recieved 1 million and now that Kimbo is gone, interest in Elite will very low. It looks like this was their last big promotion.
