Ok, so which fighter in the history of the UFC made their depute against any top ranked fighters. All had to start from the bottom and work their way up. Shamrock, Coleman, Ortis, Belford, Hughes, St,Pierrer. They all started at the bottom. They all won some and all lost some before they were crowned chapions and top contenders. Kimbo is following the same path as they all did. Rememeber “Tank”, same thing. Give the man a chance, what reasons are there for excluding him or anybody else who wants to step in to the octogon, cage, ring, for whatever you want to call it. May I remind you that he is training under Bas Rutten. Former UFC Champion, I think Kimbo has as good a shot as anyone, as long as he puts his heart and soul in to it, and we all know he is a fighter.

bs man, id love to see any of you guys step in the ring with kimbo, remember this guy was a bare knuckle boxer, not this gay ass shit with gloves. Put that little pussy tito ortiz against kimbo and guaranteed kimbo would knock his ass out in with 2 rounds.

Kimbo is a badass, you guys need to quit hating on him.. I guarantee not one of you guys given the chance would even try to fight him.

The people that are saying the event was horrible,that they sold out,that their were bad stoppages are really not looking at the big picture. This was the first MMA event held on primetime network t.v.Do you even understand how ground-breaking that is? You’re talking about a sport that has been banned in several states. A sport that had to make it’s way from pay per view (and i’m not talking about the big time ppv events like they have now, I’m talking about thats the only place they would allow it) to home videos, to years later Spike (thank you Dana White) to now CBS. The sport has grown from a high school gym event to an arena monster. This is just the next step in the evolution. To those of you who have never seen a Elite XC event on Showtime, they always have the dancing girls and pyro; that wasn’t anything new. To the people that complain about the commercials and the ads, take in to consideration the fact that there are no major company sponsors in the world of MMA because corporations are scared to associate themselves due to the mainstream’s negative image of MMA.The fact that they could get those advertisements is another great and groundbreaking feat.And as far as bad stoppages, I personally knew coming in to the show that because this was on national t.v. and because MMA is still controversial that they wanted to make a good impression and there were probably going to be no chances taken and some questionable calls made.That should have been obvious. Having said that, the only fight that was definetly stopped too early was the Lawler/Scott fight. That was rediculous. And they could have probably let the first one go on a little longer (2-3 more punches from Rogers) but when a fight is stopped and a guy stays on the ground and doesn’t get up and complain, the ref probably made the right call. The point is, if you want to take a chance and try something as revolutionary as putting MMA on network t.v., it’s obvious there will have to be some compromise. But you have to accept that if you want to do it. Of course maybe someone like Dana White wouldn’t have compromised, but thats why the UFC is on Spike and pay-per-view and not CBS.If anything you should give Gary Shaw a ton of credit for taking a promotion in one year this far. There will be more Elite XC events on CBS and you can expect them to gradually ease up on the restraints. With the exception of the Robbie Lawler fight that was shaping up to be a classic, I think anyone who trashes this event is not a real MMA fan and more of a drunken idiot who wants to see nothing but mayhem and blood and sh*t blowing up. I’m all for it. I’m as hardcore as the next guy, but remember how we have to act when we are in public or else they’ll never let us in.

good try with the fight fixing comments…but i dont buy it. Kimbo is clearly giving a thumbs up and there is no possible way you can say that james thompson said “he tapped” BS. Im not saying that I support Elite XC nor Kimbo, the UFC provides quality fighting in a very young sport. Wait another 10 years. MMA will be huge. A lot of these guys have only been studying jiu-jitsu a couple years.

CBS is trying to make a buck, but the fact that everyone is talking about the ‘controversy’ is only making it more popular. The fights were sloppy but entertaining. Leave it alone. If you dont like it, dont watch it. It as simple as that.

I knew it was fixed..a crooked slimy boxing guy is involved. I like MMA because there is no way to hide a fixed fight.

AS for you Kimbo fans, this says it all. You got a carney as his promoter.
