Both fighter’s camps nearly go at it after Brett Rogers tells Kimbo he saw him tap.
He’s right that was garbage. Not sure if he tapped but it was a pretty weak performance. It made Bas look bad too.
I hope kimbo can be professional and not just a strong, tough fighter. Brett did cross the line, but i thought kimbo was gonna throw punches. Hopefully he is only gonna fight in the ring form now on and not act like a musclehead. i’ll prolly like him a lot when i see the professional side of him, such as being gentlemanly outside the octagon and a beast inside the octagon, like couture or liddell.
phil baroni is going to take it from every loser from this organization, even the reports.lmfao.
Wow, Gary Shaw is my Hero for getting in the middle of that!
BTW, Kimbo definately gave the “thumbs up” i/e didn’t tap.
Interesting, I also saw him tapping, but only twice.
i hope they fight.. kimbo would get owned i think.. i lik ehow robbi lawler got in there
I don’t recall ever seeing Kimbo tap. If anything, I would have to say that this was Kimbo’s first REAL MMA fight where he had a variety of obstacles from defending the takedown, to defending from the guard-and of course standing up. He looked really scrappy as his stamina began to diminish. I would have expected more out of Kimbo being that he had been training for months under expert tutelage from Bas.
oh bullshit, now theyre just making more hype for kimbo for his next fight, its all marketing
BORING, NUFF SAID.. KK BACK TO THE UFC..
Kimbo didnt tap and this Rogers is an idiot!
I hope Kimbo beats this guy up just for the fact he is murdering the English language!
Kimbo’s fight was shit, but he did not tap. What a lousy press conference.
Trash league, trash promotion, trash fights and fighters.
Put Brett there against even a light heavyweight from the UFC and see how he handles a real fighter. Liddell, Griffin, hell, even half the cast of the current TUF season and they’re pathetic.
Kimbo didn’t tap, but for a sec there it looked like he was thinking about it. Then again, he’s probably the kind of fighter that believes it’s a pussy thing to do and would rather risk serious injury or death before tapping out, so maybe he wasn’t thinking about it too hard.
Penn Legend, what is this “octagon” you speak of? this was not the UFC
lol that was so fake…for him to say “Is this real?” show you he wants us to belive it is but it is oooo fake and they FAIL TO MAKE IT LOOK REAL AGIAN…..they plain suck
Stevezilla what are u talking about he got taken down by thompson just falling on him…he lost the fight in all of MMA fans but he won in Elite XC’s eyes…that is why ELITE XC FAILS
so obvious. We couldnt hear it but the ref asked him if he was OK, Kimbo gestured back OK with his hand..
Baroni is a total douche loser.
Baroni was hilarious at the end. He’s still real tough when he’s facing reporters. LOL.

Jeff’s right, only the UFC has an “Octagon”. What were you thinking?
Oh, and…
Make the match Gary Shaw.
Slice vs. Rogers, for his next fight.
Mas,
the fact of the matter is, he still got taken down regardless if thompson were trying to fall on him. thompson didn’t even capitalize on any of those attempts anyway. i was actually a little surprised to even see kimbo sweep that dude in the first.
And is supposed to be the legitimate contender to the UFC? You have got to be kidding me. This whole show was a joke save a few fights here and there.
kimbo has been trash his whole (low ) life – a strong man, no brains, mean, slicky , up to no good , dangerous , hoodlum, hooligan, you name it …
he can win in that kind of fight because there is no “art” in it
kimbo is ugly to watch by any angle
I do hope Bret or any other dude will send kimbo outta da street
kimbos perfomance was garbage i belive it was a publicity stunt they just dont want there big name to lose….now we know kimbo cant even have a chance with any of the top fighters
When i seen the fight i thought he tapped but when i watched again his hand wasnt close to thompson and the ref said he’s letting us know he’s ok, they would’ve been all over it if he tapped. I dont know why ppl say it was garbage kimbo gassed but he pulled off a nice sweep and had a neck crank you never seen that, i think there giving kimbo a good path to be champ
Ear…Ear….Ear…Ear….Ear… That’s all I was thinking. BTW thanks for stopping Lawler vs. Smith. What a laundry list of screw ups.
It was real easy to see him tap. But then the commentator kind of said he was letting the referee know he was ok…. but it looked like a early tap.. or a mis-tap.
this was a crap fight, but honestly…i’ve seen worst from the ufc…remember sylvia vs. arlovski 2? was it…with the 2nd tito vs shamrock fight? this fight was 10x better. i wouldn’t be surprised if Dana got people to talk trash about elitexc on this site, because that’s the kind of underhanded crap he’s been known to do. elitexc is still a baby to mma, competing against the likes of ufc…just give them some time.
Say what you will about Kimbo’s performance, he didn’t tap. I think he’s stealing the thunder of some of these other fighters and they don’t like it.
Kimbo will never fight quality competition as long as he stays in Elite XC. As such he’ll never leave either, fighting cans makes him looks good to fans that know nothing of the sport. Not that it matter because the UFC wouldn’t want anything to do with him.
hes got the price tag in his hat as if im gonna listern to him when hes walkin around with price tags on his head, wat a retart his fight was way shitter than kimbos
God I would Like to see Kimbo in the cage against Randy Couture, Tim Sylvia, Brandon Vera, or Fedor. He wouldn’t last past the first 30 seconds. This guy is a joke that got famous by beating up people on the street who didn’t know how to fight. Elite XC is done.
The fight was pretty bad itself, Kimbo’s performance sucked, but he hang on. He was so tired he was crying like todler at the end of the fight.
I watched it live and he did NOT tap however. He thought of tapping and had his hand ready but managed to shrug it off.
Kimbo needs alot of work, Rogers would beat him right now. But there was no tapp out.
ok u guys dont have a clue the reason y he moved his hand in the fight was cause,he said its ok when he was in choke hold. replaye it and listlen to what he said and the commentator said also. o and for this guy rogers he jesu said that to stur things out with kimbo
OK, appears BAS for all those years he was wining in PRIDE his mind turned to Garbage!! Why would you train Kimbo Slice?? I guess with the economy down he wants a quick payout!! I must say if this was pay-per view, I would not pay for this GARBAGE!! The press conference should have been an all out brawl, than maybe I would say the “NIGHT WAS NOT RUINED”!! Hope BAS really thinks about what he is doing?? LOL!!!

You’re retarded. Dana White has no influence on this site. He probably doesn’t even know about this site. I know for a fact(from reading comments) that a lot of people that come to this site don’t even like him. Regardless of what you may think, UFC is the current top organization in MMA. It appears to me that most people realize that. Some of them (like yourself) may not like it, but that’s the way it is. I don’t dislike EliteXC, but Gary Shaw is an idiot, he comes from the boxing world and has no idea how to run an MMA organization. If he keeps it up, he’ll run EliteXC right out of business himself. Dana White doesn’t have to do anything.
looked more like pro wrestling than mma. big intros, dancing girls, 2:45 minute show for 35 minutes of fighting, what a flippin joke. all that was staged for their fight.
dancing girls . .. lol
Danasucks said sht about dana…ok i don’t like dana that much other than he saved UFC/MMA
But now you idoit Elite Xc is nothing the only competition there is for UFC is M-1 and they are planning on having a cross promotion thing between the 2 companies…elite XC is for idoits that don’t understand MMA and want to see 2 idoits just throw punches and half of them don’t connect…..elite xc needs to stop calling it self MMA company and start to call it self something else cause they are really sht.
This whole thing was BS. Elite XC is a lot like the WWE in the sense that some of the events in some of the fights are planned and staged. Elite XC is crap. Kimbo is crap. I hope they get dropped from CBS before they have an opportunity to make MMA look like a joke again.
i saw his thumb up. i don’t see why this tap or no tap thing has to be an issue, if kimbo was tapping and the ref didn’t call it, then kimbo would have passed out a second or 2 later.
Bret Rogers can’t fight. He’s not a technical fighter at all, he’s barely got his feet wet in the world of MMA, yet he’s already acting like a celebrity with Big Black security backing him and a performance by Busta Rhymes in his entrance. His punches are not pretty, but he does get lucky.
On the other hand Kimbo’s striking game is way ahead of Rogers’. I bet they’d both gas out halfway into the fight just as Kimbo and Thompson did, and it’d just turn into a slugfest. Being that Kimbo is the better striker, I’d lead towards him. Besides, you haven’t really seen Rogers on the ground yet, but you’ve seen Kimbo reverse his position while he was fully mounted. And, for the record Kimbo didn’t tap. He showed a thumbs up when the ref asked if he was okay. Does Kimbo look like he’d tap? Ask him, haha.
Both these fighters would be picked apart if they ever tried to fight in the UFC, but I doubt they’ll ever get the chance because Dana White and Kimbo hate each other, and Rogers doesn’t even have the talent to be there.
This fight was one of the worst shows ever to air on national television. There were numerous early stoppages, and the fights were all sloppy. Look to the UFC for exciting fights.
All that aside, Fedor will reign supreme.
Kimbo needs to shut his damn mouth and learn how to take criticism. All fighters get ridiculed at some point. Shut the hell up and take it like a man. Just like Tyson, an idiot outside the ring.
hooo, kimbo will kill that boy…
Kimbo is best fighting of mma, wwe, k2, ufs, hhs , sjhsau, jsjsj, ujsjjs , sjsjsj, jkajaj,
All challenge…
