I caught it at a bar in woodland hills. thought Kimbo was getting beat right up until the other guy's ear fell off.

can't argue with the draw though. the entire bar was fixated on it.

Yeah here in Toronto we watched it at some 3 story bar and everyone was rooting against kimbo. He sucks ass. The stiff he bought lost only because of his ear

With that said, FUCK MMA! Boxing Rules

i thought it was cool. the fights were nasty. and it's better than boxing to me already... especially cause it was free. at least as the draws like kimbos are free i'm in.

kimbo is a beast but yeah...he was almost done in round two.

How was the card for EliteXC? How did my girl Gina Carano do? I heard they penalized her purse because she couldn't make weight. My crew wanted to watch the fight but the bar wouldn't put it on because they feared people would get too rowdy from watching the fights. WTF?
"Last month I was in the Canary Islands, and I met up with Armada Sur, the supporters group for CD Tenerife. When the subject of MLS comes up one of the first things they ask me about is if I've heard of the Riot Squad and they mention that one of them has a LARS shirt, and describes the gask mask guy logo.

Halfway around the world and I can't get away from you guys?!?!"

boxing doesnt come close to MMA as far as excitement.

the elite xc card wasnt any good. but gina carano is fuckin hott and she beat some ass!
she missed weight by 4 lbs. so she had to split her purse with her opponent.

in the robbie lawler fight, he acciedently poked his opponent in the eye. he said he was fine, and seemed ready to go, but the doctor stopped the fight. which sucks b/c it was shaping up to be a real war. after the match, elite xc announced that they'd pay both fighters their winning purse.

I confess to being a noob and casual fan of MMA. I've been watching fights on and off for the past year and a half so I may not be knowledgeable as the rest of ya. One complaint I have about MMA is when they go down the ground grappling. They can be on the ground for the longest time while they punch or try some maneuvers. Gets old after a while.

Oh, some obligatory Gina Carano pics.

Is that why people pay $59.99 to watch a boxing match and this Elite XC stuff is free?

I like the MMA fights but it will never come close to the excitement, monies and popularity boxing brings.

well those people should keep paying up and getting ripped off. when was the last time there was a truly exciting fight? when was the last time two fighters were willing to stand in the middle of the ring and go blow for blow? boxers get in there, take a few hits and then go home to get paid. do that in the UFC and you get cut out of your contract.

thats what makes MMA different. it's the mentality in most fighters minds. MMA fighters want to go out and put on a spectacle and a good fight.

elite xc was free b/c they arent a good promotion.

yea she is.

What? Are you kidding me? Except for Lawler and Gina's fight it was horrible. It looks like Gary Shaw and Elite XC's ploy to bamboozle the public into thinking that DUMBO SLICE is a good fighter worked. I can see how unknowing fans would think this garbage is good.

Put that clown into the ring against either of these guys and he'd get killed:

I wanna see some fight mismatches, like the Japanese dude in the previous post against Kimbo Slice.
Or Verne Troyer against Kimbo Slice. Except give Troyer a flame thrower. Now THAT'S Mixed Martial Arts.

blah blah blah, same old argument. This is what, his 3rd MMA fight? Wow I'm surprised you don't want him to be in a title fight by now :)+ . If people are willing to pay him money to fuck some dude up, so what, get off his nuts. Let him get experience.

i respect what MMA is now a days and how far it has come. but i'm with buck. as a little kid , i used to think of all the possibilities of such fights. maybe it was due to all those 80's movies about fighting.

did anyone ever watch that one where the fight in a cage, the promoters give them a certain weapon, oh and one of two partners gets his head chopped off?

or like in kickboxer where the fight with glass on their hands...yea that would be awesome.

the mismatches were why i used to watch ufc as a kid.
