It’s not that I hate Kimbo, hell I don’t even know the guy. It’s the fact that Elite is pushing this guy as if he’s really done something. I’ve seen him fight twice in a cage and against real, real bums (Tank having not won a fight in along time, as he was looking for the floor as soon as he could). I’d like to see him on the Ultimate Fighter series, like “street fighters 2nd chanc” show or “bald guys make a comeback”.
Until he fights a legitmate MMA fighter, give it a rest.

Mikew,
There is a difference between a legit fighter and legit “MMA” fighter. Kimbo is not a legit MMA fighter. Miketroy is not far off about 2nd rate fighters in other promotions. I am well aware of the talent in other promotions but like I said before, the UFC has the vast majority of prime talent. Especially with the cutting of fighters as of late to make room for up and comers or other promotions stars. You are correct that people will be missing out by not watching other promotions but that does not change the fact most other promotions are full of 2nd rate fighters. Besides, the UFC is obviously the leader because every time another promotion has a former UFC fighter on their card, the promotion cannot help but mention it over and over that a former UFC fighter is on their fight card. Elite XC is still a joke.

Any fighter who gets in there and lays it on the line is a legit fighter, all fighters lose some time,including UFC fighters, any real MMA fan in my opinion would rather watch live fights than a documentary or re-runs over and over.
To say Robbie Lawler is a second rate fighter is absurd, if you limit yourself only to the UFC brand than you are missing out on a lot of action.

for 1 the main event of elite xc is lawler who was knocked out by diaz back when they were in the ufc, so it just seems like 2nd rate fighters are in other organizations rather then the UFC…and kimbo is fighting another bum…i have seen kimbo knock out bums before im getting actually bored of it…when he fiths some1 worth watchin then i will watch….till then i would even rather watch legit fighters even if there re-runs

So ya think Thompson will come charging out after Kimbo for this fight? He hasn’t had a good win since he somehow managed to beat Don Frye in PRIDE. I hope to see some ground skills out of Kimbo or I fear this site will again begin it’s “HATE” relationship with Slice. I for one, will be rooting for him to take him down and submit him.

Make sure all of you tell your friends with a Nielson ratings indicator box to watch CBS on May 31st!
