The Elite XC event was terrible. This was a very bad representation of MMA. The bouts were certainly not representative of anything that resembles a good MMA fight.

CBS was certainly trying to tone down the “brutality” of MMA fighting with stopping boubts well before they should have been. The whole Hollywood entrances etc were boring and waiting 1/2 hour for the first fight was rediculous. The girls were certainly the best fight of the night but even that did not go as far as it should. If CBS is not going to show MMA the way it really is then they should not show it. MMA is not brutal but great entertainment. At least the UPC and WEC referees know when to stop a fight and when to let the fighters determine the outcome.

I suggest banning Elite XC. It is too bad that many people were introduced to MMA tonight and did not see what the real MMA is all about. The referee(s) and doctors were too quick to stop the fights. I certainly hope that UFC and WEC will not support Elite XC.

I can’t wait to see a real MMA card tomorrow night.

seriously… elite xc is making MMA look like pro wrestling – the fake/bullshit type… i don’t get this…
just over produced / dumb questions etc…
what a huge let down.
can we boycott elite xc?

ViolentMike clearly has stock in Elite XC or CBS.

WHAT A PATHETIC AND OBVIOUSLY RIGGED SET OF MATCHES
(ESPECIALLY THAT JOKE KIMBO’S)

This is simply Tuff Man in a cage. When someone with some MMA talent actually started doing something (usually against CBS’ selected ‘winner’), there was the ref to step in (”Nothing’s happening guys, nothing’s happening”).

Kimbo actually started to tap out early during the fight when in a guillotine, but the two got repositioned and the stupid announcers insisted he was ‘waving that he was okay’.

These same geniuses predicted that Kimbo would win if he targeted his opponent’s cauliflower ear– which he did — and lo and behold the fight was stopped three seconds later.

The best was when the Colossus tried to hit the ref.

THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

Kimbo’s scared as hell in that photo. Main events are Lawler and Baroni fights. We’ll have to see who the fairies are after the event \./\./ It’ll definitely be worht the watch. Y’all know it. I’m excited to watch.

evn if this is kimbo, who cares…brock would take him down and pound him out quickly…and I’m not a brock fan either. If this is kimbo, try fighting someone in the top 100! douche bag

if by worth going you mean a joke of an event. The day I pay to see a guy not in the top 100 main event a card is the same day I watch gay porn for fun!! I’ll watch it free andd in HD, but just for the freak show it is. 2 bouts I’m looking forward to, phil baroni and robbie lawler, but even these match ups are mediocre at best!

Yeah, REAL old. This is his 3rd fight already. He should have already fought Big Nog for the UFC title and defended it.

THis is by no means the best show Elite has to offer.

They have a Top 5 WW in Jake Shields

They have a Top 10 in the ever so popular Nick Diaz

They have Antonio Silva who is the next big thing in the HW division, minus his last performance against Ricco…

They have Frank Shamrock who no matter what people say, is a LEGEND of the sport.

Not to mention that they often times co-promote with Strikeforce and pick up the likes of Gilbert Melendez, who is a Top 10 lb for lb fighter, and Cung Le who is gaining popularity very fast.

This is just their first show on CBS. They have had several shows on ShowTime…. SOme people seem to forget. THis isn’t meant to be the best card ever.
