The best thing to happen for MMA is for Slice to lose. Thompson looks fit and ready to fight. Hopefully, he will show up for this fight.

Kimbo has no hair on his head but tons on his face, what a funny looking clown.

Well personally i would love to see big Kimbo fight his way to the UFC, with some brutal KO’s along the way.
I dont care if he hasnt got a pedigree background in any martial arts , he provides good entertainment!

You know Jasonicus, I wasn’t going to say anything because arguing on the internet just makes both parties look like fools; nonetheless, I can’t hold my tongue. Kimbo is one of the best things that has happened to MMA in a very long time. If it weren’t for his high profile, the deal with CBS most likely would have never come into fruition. The man is a great fighter, a nice guy, and a vicious competitor looking to make a name for himself. He will mow over Thompson, become a household name to an even greater extent than he currently and bring MMA into the spotlight. Seriously, check yourself before making such baseless comments; he is a brawler, he’s going to brawl. Are you saying that because he used to do drugs, has a mean attitude, and has a history of street fighting he shouldn’t be allowed in MMA? Look at the UFC roster and you’ll find dozens of names that YOU admire filling those criteria. Is it because he’s big, black, brash, and seemingly unsportsmanlike? Again, check the roster, you have many other fighters who are the same. Slice, 1st round, within 2 minutes, KO.

i would have to agree with jasonicus, kimbo has done nothing for or in the sport, so he has knocked out a few random cans, he needs to face top 10 comp to see where hes really at, lawler/ smith should be the main event, lawler has done way more and he has the exc belt.

jason Says, in 5-31-2008 at 15:59:28 from 71.117.220.224

i agree with shaw always have to be on every shot, sporting his ripped abs.

Mcsquare: Kimbo is NOT one of the best things to happen to MMA. Kimbo is one of the best things to happen to Elite XC. They can’t compete with the UFC financially, so they are drawing rating by putting Kimbo up against fighters that they know he can beat. If Kimbo fought Arlovski or Couture, I dont think Kimbo would live through it. He is a huge attraction for Elite XC, nothing more. They are many mma fighters that could kill him.

Robert Says, in 5-31-2008 at 20:33:25 from 65.96.150.158

I was going to say something to this Jas cat but you handled it mcsquare.

Haters keep hating.

mma-pr0, read mcsquare post.

“Kimbo is one of the best things that has happened to MMA in a very long time. If it weren’t for his high profile, the deal with CBS most likely would have never come into fruition.”

Pundiggity420, do you know what MMA stands for? Mixed Martial Arts. And Kimbo is a newbie in the MMA world. Why the heck would anyone with half a brain put him up against seasoned top tier fighters already? What logic are you using? Tito’s?

MarCO Says, in 5-31-2008 at 23:24:27 from 200.121.215.116

Kimbo is gonna lose bad

mcsquare Says, in 5-31-2008 at 23:42:22 from 74.56.167.174

I’m watching the first round of the fight as I type this and so far I’ve seen a great MMA match. Sure the ground skills by Kimbo are a bit sluggish, but you have to give props, he worked his game, excellent reversal, quick mount, great BJJ. The guy is clearly improving.

Onto Round 2: His lack of BJJ experience is really showing. As Shamrock pointed out — his guillotine attempt really was a rookie hold. Finally stood up with sluggish trading by the both and a near choke by slice after the slam. Kimbo looks like a real fighter. Again, Thompson’s BJJ and wrestling is superior and Kimbo’s lack of experience really shows through. One can only hope that with time the man will improve his ground game, a skill that really only comes with time. All you haters need to acknowledge how new the man is to the entire sport.

Oh… My… God… Look at Thompson’s ear. Get the man the name of a good plastic surgeon.

Luck for Kimbo — like theyre all saying. Let’s hope that next match Kimbo will bring a much tighter game. Kimbo will defeintely gain a lot from this win (loss). Good fight.

What a joke that kimbo fight was , He was fighting yet another mma bum and in the second round looked lost on the ground. The fight was stopped prematurely . How long will the elite XC shelter this guy from real mma talent. Also did you hear the crowd … they were Booing Kimbo , the fans are on to him. I have no problem with grooming a fighter but making a 2-0 fighter the main event , is that the best Elite XC has to offer?

ryan larouche Says, in 5-31-2008 at 23:54:58 from 24.150.60.142

wow, id like to lay a fuck into gina carano, damn

kimbo fan Says, in 6-1-2008 at 00:00:44 from 74.184.181.132

kimbo just TKOd thompson. it was a tough fight for kimbo, but he did prove his ground defense. good job kimbo! one area kimbo still needs work in is conditioning, he was all out of breath and could barely talk in the end. if he wouldnt have knocked thompson out, he could have lost by split decision. (from getting takin down)

Rick Says, in 6-1-2008 at 01:46:28 from 65.78.142.66

What the hell was Thompson thinking going in to a fight with his ear like that!?

Mas Says, in 6-1-2008 at 13:31:51 from 76.68.19.101

WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT KIMBO FAN…..leave this site please you do understand MMA kimbo was done end of second round….if you can’t tell how set up that fight was you are blind or something is seriously wrong with you. He was done and out..He will never learn real MMA all he knows is a front gaurd WOW he doesn’t even know side guard which he should have used in this fight. Kimbo BLOWS ELITE XC BLOWS and for people to watch elite Xc shows u don’t understand MMA they are a WWE type oranization. They Suck.
If you want MMA fight that are good watch the following:
-UFC
-Pride
-K1
Those are the top three with real fighters and no fights being set-up..

Mas Says, in 6-1-2008 at 13:35:29 from 76.68.19.101

Also Robert wtf u talking about UFC said no to NBC said no to CBS..UFC got the offer first not Elite XC…UFC doesn’t want some big media company to ruin the way they present there fighters to the world…..Also ELITE XC SUCKS…there poster boy KIMO SLICE SUCKS..I can bet you BJ Penn can take him out on the ground.

james Says, in 6-3-2008 at 09:46:53 from 122.52.83.108

kimbo tap at the 1st round, thompson seing it loosen the guillotine a bit but didn’t let go just to make sure. kimbo feeling the guillotine no longer presurred his neck gives a thumbs-up sign to the ref. i think that’s the reason why thompson was talking while holding kimbo, he was arguing with the ref… its a FIX fight for eliteXC poster boy “kimbo”. i don’t hate kimbo i like how he work hard to be a legit MMA fighter but this fight pissed me. he didn’t work hard for this BS. i don’t like him anymore, he need to be favored by the ref to win.
