I'm sure plenty will and they'll see crap
Kimbo Slice is washed up, he's not even close to one of the best fighters in this "sport" and he's being put on because of his name.
So now CBS viewers are going to watch a watered down match that's been dumbed down.
It's like if the NFL was going to debut on TV and they picked the Miami Dolphins to play the Atlanta Falcons
It's a waste of time
Kimbo vs. any LEGIT heavyweight = Kimbo getting knocked out or subbed within a few minutes.
He's fighting cans guys, don't be fooled.
The fighter he is fighting was won 2 of his last 8 fights.
Does Kimbo fight anyone other then wasted fighters?
What a joke... Elite XC and Kimbo slice are jokes.
This wasnt real MMA, real MMA is UFC, Pride, etc....
No joke, this was the worst event ive seen ever for an MMA event, what a horrible way to show the general public MMA.
GSP, Anderson Silva, Bj Penn, Rampage, Fedor, Okami, etc.. get some REAL MMA fighters and show the world what real MMA is.
Elite XC is closer to WWF then it is MMA.
What a horrible show and a kick in the balls to real MMA fighters/fans.
If this was your first MMA event, dont pay any attention to it. Go watch some UFC pay per views and see what i mean.
A rigged final fight at the end of the night, after horrible fights thru out the night.
Never again will i watch Elite FC

I think Kimbo is somewhat new to MMA so he's not going to get to fight the best right now, but so far from what i've seen it looks like he needs to improve on his countering when he is taken to the ground
UFC pay per views kozzy1234Exactly why nobody cares about boxing today and why i don't care about UFC neither.
I watched Kimbo fight, wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be.
Kimbo, he got potential though. Still needs to work hard but he's on the right path if he keeps training.
The fight definitely didn't go according to plan. Kimbo needed to be dominant and put himself front and center as the poster boy for the sport. Didn't happen IMO.
Agreed what it sounded like to me was that Kimbo was so strong he could pick this guy up and throw him to the ground. But overall he had more bad moments then good moments.The fight definitely didn't go according to plan. Kimbo needed to be dominant and put himself front and center as the poster boy for the sport.

I will say, Kimbo doesn't deserve so much hate...he never claimed to be the best and knows he has a lot to learn. He is what he is, a novice in MMA trying to make some money. Can't fault him for that.TexDeuce from MMA Underground
Pretty much me feelings on Kimbo I could go into more detail but will end up just getting mad and posting something stupid.
Last nights show was pretty horrible, poor time management, premature stoppages in the main event (Thompson would've have been down with one more hit thought) and the second best match of the night (Lawler fight). Gus Johnson was incredible as usual though.

Ya, I can't believe they stopped the Lawler fight. Kimbo's fight seemed rigged; they let him sit on the mat for 2 minutes getting hit in the head yet they call the fight because the other guys ear popped.

I dont know Thompson looked like he would've gone down if he stayed in there any longer.
I could understand if they stopped the match when Thompson was pounding Kimbo on the mat but those hits Thompson was putting on him looked incredibly weak so I can see why they didn't.
Y was the other guy's ear look like a ball?baseballboy6411It happens to a lot of fighters in fighting sports. It's a culiflour ear if you neglect it, it feels with blood. Which is way the other guy started bleeding.

I use to be a huge boxing fan, still am, but MMA i enjoy alot more. There are so many differnt aspects in MMA when compared to Boxing.
In boxing its just one part of fighting, you cant even kick or take someoen to the ground in boxing. MMA is more like a real fight to me, so yes i enjoy it more then boxing now.
No im not a boxing hater, i love boxing and always will, but MMA and the UFC is alot more entertaining then boxing. Not to mention not as many rigged fights as boxing.
Boxing use to be king, but its been on the down fall for awhile imo.
I like to see the differnt stuff MMA fighters train for, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, Karate, Wrestling, boxing, Muiah Thai kickboxing, etc....
Its not just striking, you must study alot more then just striking to do well in MMA.
I can't believe the BS involved in that fight. They could have hidden the fact that it was rigged a little better. That was a well timed camera zoom out, a fighter not defending himself warrants a stoppage every time, besides this fight. You don't stop a fight when a fighter is defending himself while STANDING UP! He was standing up for God's sake, how can you stop that fight? Pure BS and fixed.Chutebox
Yup, i agree, in no way is Elite XC a fair respresentation of real MMA
It's nice to see Kimbo practicing MMA but from the fight it looks like he should just brawl instead of trying to grapple/maneuver the opponent so much. He did more damage by just pounding away at the guy.jharv
exactly. He came out with the wrong idea. Before the fight he said he wanted to show off his grappling moves but that turned out to be a pretty dumb idea. But by round 3 it looked like he figured that out, lol.
[QUOTE="tmatte"]It's funny how Kimbo barely won against someone who lost 6 of his last 8.
Joke.
Chutebox
He didn't even deserve to win. Fight was given to him. Wasn't Kimbo's fault, but it still sucks. I wish he would fight someone good, that would be fun to watch.
Yup. The guy was drilling Kimbo with elbows the last 45 seconds of the 2nd round.
Anyway, who watched WEC last night? That's real MMA.

I don't know how Pulver didn't go down from all those punches. Not only that, he turned the tide in that verysame round. Awesome fight.

I actually liked the Torres fight better. When they got eachother in a toe hold, that was amazing.
I thought is was boring except for hearing Kimbo speak. "This is my power and this is my Strenght, and thats what up" hahahaha. That other guys ear was just nasty and for Kimbo to pop it open made it even worst. Thank god they stopped the fight. MMA is turning into boxing more than anything. balindos
Elite XC is turning into boxing, not UFC or Dream.
Want to know the reason? Because the owner of Elite EX is an ex boxing promoter....

As a casual MMA watcher its a nice change of pace IMO. I'd rather watch a slugfest than a submission or ground and pound type match, boxing is boring and too slow paced for me not to mention fighting looks much more brutal in MMA.
