There are no words to describe what the hell happened tonight at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., for the Elite XC: “Heat” CBS special of “Saturday Night Fights.”
No, seriously … no words. But I alone (separate from the site) will vent nonetheless.
Scratch all the nice undercard bouts. Scratch a former UFC champion, Andrei Arlovski, rebounding from a scary first round against Roy Nelson to score a sweet second round knockout. Scratch Jake Shields defending his 170-pound title for the first time ever against a very game opponent in Paul Daley. And scratch Gina Carano toppling Kerry Kobald via unanimous decision in a much ballyhood featured bout.
But whatever you do, don’t scratch Seth Petruzelli. The same Seth Petruzelli who could not emerge from exposure on the wldly successful The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) program to become a successful mixed martial artist.
Because who needs Spike TV and the UFC when there is CBS and Elite XC?
Excuse me, but what the fuck happened tonight? This is a blog, but rarely do we — or me for that matter — take the time to express unbridled opinion. Tonight is a little different.
Make no mistake, Petruzelli answered the call this evening, agreeing to fight promotional poster boy, Kimbo Slice, in the main event of the evening when Ken Shamrock bailed out literally hours from showtime. He should be commended for the decision and more than likely will reap the rewards for it at least until his next fight.
I hate words. And I hate rehashing the entire situation.
However, what Elite XC did tonight was essentially network suicide. “The Silverback” — in replace of an aged and purposely overmatched Shamrock — went out and stopped Slice … the man that promotion had gone to great lengths to protect — in less than 30 seconds.
What the fuck … Petruzelli?
This is MMA where anything can and often does happen. However, it’s beyond me how a dude like Petruzelli is somehow promoted to a national stage on literally hours notice and then defeats a guy like Slice who has been portrayed as a posterboy for the sport.
Hindsight is 20/20. And when Shamrock bailed because of an injury in the eleventh hour, there’s no question the Pro Elite brass was stuck between a rock and a hard place. In fact, for those who call the organization “crooked” this is proof postive that there is no foul play involved.
If that was the case, Petruzelli would have taken a dive. Arlovski would have been brought in to build a star and murder Slice within the cage. Or the fight would have been scrapped altogether.
But no … Petruzelli comes in and — in the eyes of the millions of viewers nationwide — smashes Kimbo.
Listen, Elite XC has some great fighters and is a solid promotion that attempts to put on good fights — look no further than the welterweight championship fight tonight.
But when the company hitches its wagon to an aging Shamrock — with the hopes of building its most bankable star — and gets burned so hard like it did tonight heads need to roll.
Tonight was an absolute joke because of the main event and nothing else.
Keep in mind part of me realizes that Slice wins this fight nine times out of 10. But tonight he lost and so did Elite XC and the fans watching nationwide. This loss, quite honestly, should not count against Slice (as did Seth) because he was man enough to take on an opponent on literally minutes notice.
No one does that. Not when it comes to a professional MMA organization, anyway.
And that’s the major problem here … not Kimbo or his loss. Tonight was a massive blunder that this writer feels borders on retarded (you heard that Jared Shaw) … something with which UFC President Dana White would more than likely agree.
You get the feeling that, when piss comes to squat, Elite XC, including Kimbo, just can’t win no matter who or what is in front of them. And maybe in the grand scheme of things that’s not such a bad thing after all.
Unless your Seth Petruzelli.

Idiots. If that was Arlovski knocking out Kimbo, no big deal. A TUF reject fighting at 205? That’s embarrassing.
Stop calling Seth a TUF “reject”. He lost in the Semis to Brad Imes and was signed by the UFC. Unfortunately for him he faced Hamill and Gouveia in his first 2 UFC bouts.
No doupt, and he’s a game fighter who obviously wont take a dive. it seemed like he felt guilty about hi victory in the post fight inerview.
Kimbo got knocked out by a Jab like punch. It was great!
jeez mania why dont u tell us how u really feel? lol
Kimbo got hit in a killspot. He got hit right behind the ear with a jab, and with a strong fighter like Seth that will drop a lot of people. Kimbo got hit in the back of the head at least 3 times during the wild display of punches.
But I am sorry, Kimbo Slice used to fight anybody, anywhere. Seth is not a ground guy, Kimbo should not have did the James Thompson Gong and Dash. Kimbo blew that fight. He choked. He got EXTREMELY sloppy with his standup. I don’t see how you cna do that. His gameplan could not of been different from Shamrock to Seth. The only thing different was that you had to worry about takedowns, that’s it. Everybody knows that Shamrock was going to take you down, so you sprawl and you keep the fight standing.
Kimbo literally blew it.
BEHIND THE EAR??? No way! He was looking straight ahead, face to face with Seth. He got punched in the face, not the back of the head. With two people looking face to face, it is impossible to throw a jab that would land on the back of a head. I simply can’t believe that a jab by a scrubby 205er with one foot on the ground, backing up in retreat mode, against the fence would KO Kimbo. For sure he has been hit harder than that.
I really wish that I would have known that Shamrock was a fool and needed stitches and that Seth Petruzzelli stepped up to take his place. Does anyone know if there were odds for Kimbo/Seth on BetUs??? I would have bet on Seth for sure. Of course that is easy to say in hindsight, but I would have bet small on him if he was like a +350.
I have never heard of someone getting scratched from a card just hours before hand due to a cut. That is ridiculous. But if anyone can do it, you can count on ol’ Shammy.
Shamrock’s F up ended up leading to VERY costly errors on the parts of both EliteXC and Kimbo. No other organization would have made a move like this, and not many other fighters than Kimbo would have accepted it. But, if he turned the fight down, he would have lost a lot of respect from “the streets” because he is the person know for fighting anyone, anywhere.
Really Mania? Fergie wins that fight 9 out of 10 times? We just saw him for exactly what he is, which is a sub-par brawler who has no business fighting actual mixed martial artists. Petruzelli, while he wasn’t able to survive in the competitive LHW division of the UFC, is young and experienced and trains in all aspects of MMA, exactly the kind of fighter that Scumbag Shaw and Scumbag Jr. have been keeping away from Fergie. With any luck the Kornheisers, Wilbons and Romes of the world were taking note of this and now have some idea of the difference between a real MMA star and a champion of the parking lots, back yards and alleys.
He got punched in the chin the third replay they showed was clear. and Seth was standing on one leg and moving backwards not a power shot but a shot on the button.
Kimbo loses this fight 9 out of 10 times more like it. How could this not count as a loss on Kimbo’s record? If he won, he woulda counted it as a win. Fact is: Kimbo is not that great. Not sure why Mania is hurting over this.
Yeah man, I totally agree. This is not really a shocker.. at all. Seth is a veteran, and Kimbo is a rook brawler who fought noone until now. Seth came in much lighter, and buckled Kimbo with ease.. Seth is still a B or C level fighter, he just exposed someone who has no business in professional mma.
Fair enough, but you know what I meant.
Excellent blog MANIA’ I feel the exact same way,, with the exception that this is MMA not Boxing and there’s always fights to build, especially if they get togther with Affliction…
Shamrock VS Kimbo, Carano VS Cyborg, Arlovski VS Fedor, Tito VS Frank Shamrock, Shields VS Robbie Lawler.
Put this on the next card
I don’t think it’s suicide, it’s just MMA… casual fans will be back after having a taste of this crazy sport… if nothing else to see what Kimbo does next!
“Keep in mind part of me realizes that Slice wins this fight nine times out of 10.”
9 out of 10 times I agree with you mania, but this time i have to disagree!! Why does Kimbo win this fight 9 out of 10 times? because he beat tank? ray mercer? I assumed petrucelli was going in to take a dive, but what he did was prove what I’ve been saying all along. The WORST UFC fighter (HW) would beat Kimbo! I put 500 on shamrock, why, because I expected him to get exposed at some point! It was a short right, and look what happened! Instead of putting seth down, we should be thanking him! I believe Kimbo is a smart, well spoken humble man, but he deserves to be the first fight of a telivision broadcast, not the main event. This proves it…thank you seth petrucelli! Al the people who think Kimbo is the best HW in the world or even top 50…thank you seth petrucelli!!!
cmon mania, I’m disappointed that you rained, no, pissed on this guys parade. I realize you (as an unbiased journalist) don’t normally give opinion, but I’m quite disappointed that you would start now!
“kimbo deserves a muligan”???
isn’t that what his carreer thus far has been?
anyways, Shields is one of my favorite fighters, he really needs to work on his GNP power. My wife was literally yelling when he rolled into the cage for the arm bar. He needs stand up training, it’s average at best. ON the ground, he’s unstoppable, but a good defensive wrestler that can strike (small chuck) would give him trouble.
Gina is in big trouble with cyborg…I predict a KO.
Man, arlovski is still fighting tentative…he’s still an animal, but let loose a bit!
Rua…what can I say??? I’ll quote my wife: “junk”
Man, even though i knew better i was hoping for that KO which never came from paul. Shields very much underwhelmed me tonight. His gnp wasn’t there, his cardio wasn’t there, his stand up was shitty enough that gus commented on it. Gina is finally admitting that she can’t make the weight for the weightclass made for her. Cyborg from pbps was putting up some serious offensive volume and yoko didn’t give up so props to her.
I’ve read all the way down, looks like mania is the only person surprised at this outcome. Which is funnies, someone actually thinking kimbo is legit or watching Kimbo try to (unsuccessfully) get the double on the referee. that was priceless!!
I know - that and $kala freaking out in the background made my night.
i’m too tired to continue reading but i want to give you props for talking about the 9 times out of ten… i’d say its seth that wins that 9 times out of ten, kimbo had to use james “the colossusly brittle jaw” thompson’s ear to win that fight and gets knocked by a 205er falling back into the cage on one foot…. way to rep the mean streets of miami
ps yeah he tried to take the ref down for a good minute after that fight… hilarity
As soon as i heard he was fighting Seth I made a bet with my brother that kimbo was gonna get knocked out…. Seth was the favorite in that fight in my mind, Kimbo is not a mma fighter he is a street brawler who beat up older street brawlers and a terrible JT. It took guts for Kimbo to step up and take that fight ill give him that but WTF was shaw thinking by letting him??? Good bye elite xc Jared just killed the whole org. in one night… Hey jared you should of just fed him the The Pitbull atleast people would of understood the 14 sec knock out…
I can picture Dana laughing his ass off saying I love my F@@king life..
I interpreted that Mania was saying Kimbo would beat Shamrock 9 out of 10 times, NOT that Kimbo would beat Petruzelli 9 out of 10 times… right?
Because I’m with Kevin on this one 100%, and would be surpised that Mania thinks Kimbo would beat Petruzelli 9 out of 10 times.
I was watching the DREAM GRANDPRIX when Bas was commentating about Alvarez having to step aside because of his eye and Hansen stepped in to win the whole tourney. I remember Bas saying that more than 75% of the time the fighter who gets the “lucky break” wins!!!
Looks like he knew what he was talking about.
Seth is no reject. He’s a true Mixed Martial Artist. Kimbo got knocked out by a JAB.
Technique over strength. Nuff said.
Hopefully for MMA Elite XC sells it’s company for $1 to the UFC because that’s how much they’re acting like it’s worth!!!!! I have to say i find it funny how everyone is taking it upon themselves to IGNORE the fact that Kimbo was hit with 2 “HAMMER FIST” to the back of his head. Grant it Seth caught Kimbo with a nice punch but that’s not what hurt him it was the 2 Hammer fist to the back of the head that really put him out! I can’t believe that the announcers talked over and ignored those obvious shots to the back of Kimbo’s head. Even the fan in the front row pointed to the back of his head & screamed that Kimbo got hit with the illegal shots when they replayed the stoppage he was seen in the audience motioning to the back of his head. You can also notice that the referee started to stop the fight due to the blows to the back of the head & before his interview Kimbo told the Doctor he was hit in the back of the head. Brock Lesnar sure was deducted those points from the score card when he hit Mir with the Hammer fists to the back of the head,,, Why wasn’t Seth treated the same? Why would Elite XC go to great lengths to promote Kimbo & then dog him by ignoring the obvious illegal blows to the back of his head?
I know that Dana White is laughing at these idiots because they are just proving why The UFC is going to remain on top of the MMA world!!!
lol, that fan was jared shaw, and that punch put kimbo down. con pierre, I’ve never seen you in these parts before, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but your synopsis of the fight is terrible…I even watched it 4 times (didn’t even take a minute), he was hitting him legally, and Kimbo was out. He tried (and couldn’t do it) to take the ref down. When he got up, he was still groggy and his eyes were glossed over. Frank mir got hit repeatedly in the back of the head, and Brock was warned. go rewatch this fight, it won’t take you long. by the way, jared shaw’s meals and clothes and bills are paid for if Kimbo succeeds (just in case you were wondering)
Let’s not forget to mention the strait rights Kimbo took aim to the rear of Tank Abbott’s head.
While holding his head down to his leg.
And only got a warning.
Kimbo was rocked but wasn’t screwed up until the looping rights to his jaw.
I saw one forearm to the back of the head but it was after Kimbo dropped. That pink haired puss was running backwards and landed a cross not a jab. Kimbo’s hands were down trying to grab the leg of a girly front kick and wam he got a cross on the chin and fell. Then pinky as shocked as all of us spasticly threw about six blows and misses or glanced kimbo with all of them aside from one side of the wrist shot to kimbos ear. That cross dropped him. Thank god the hype is over. Beating guys on youtube a filming it should not be rewarded
good point. it was more of a straight right cross, than it was a jab. a jab is used to set up other punches, and seth’s punch was more out of self defense. plus seth/s back was against the fence giving him more leverage. it was a stronger punch than most people think. and kimbo was hurt bad, he almost fell face 1rst.
The ref was stopping the fight before ANY other punches (beside the first jab)were LANDED (they all missed). Watch the replay. Kimbo was on queer street from the FIRST punch.
Kimbo nuthugers where you at?
putting ice on his eye and telling him he’s the best and it was a fluke!!
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Really Mania? You get knocked out but just because you took the fight on short notice, it doesnt count??? Guess what, Seth took the figh ton short notice too, didn’t seem to bother him too much. Quit making excuses, your boy got KTFO!!!!!
shmirst
and seth wins this fight 9 out of 10 times
that’s what i was thinking…
+1 Kimbo just proved that he is a flash in the pan. He is trained by Bas and he showed that tonight- evolve with the times or fall out with the past. Street Fighters havn’t been able to cut it in MMA for a long time.
+2
1st! ..anyways Mauro Renallo can suck a cock..saying Kimbo wasn’t himself coming in..Like go fuck yourself you rat goof!
Kimbo lost! fair and square..dude got caught and lost to a lightweight.
you guys will have to put shamrock against kimbo now ..since he needs too look like a knock out artist.
man…I knew Seth would win..he fought bigger opponents!
Seth…thankyou
hay use GOFF lightly, and YES I am sooooooo glad Kimbo got beat down. Funny the next best thing Elite XC has is Gina.
arlovski?
The only joke that I saw tonight is Kimbo Slice. He’s not an MMA star. He isn’t ready for the spotlight that EliteXC put on him. He’s just not good right now. He’ll get better. Thing is, it’s gonna be too late when it happens. By the time he’s put in the time to actually be an MMA fighter, his time will have passed him by.
Kimbo Slice is a gimmick and nothing more. Their gimmick got his nads beat. Crap happens. EliteXC would be better off not putting Kimbo out as their poster boy. This might actually help the organization….. if it doesn’t completely destroy it.
Now I understand the jumbobeard. It’s there to hide the off switch. Lights out Kimo, I mean KimbOooh!
He was billed as a guy who would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Then after he lost they said he wasn’t prepared mentally or physically. Which is it?
Kudos to both men for taking the fight, but it is fitting that Kimbo would lose tonight. As hard as the Shaws have tried to build stars on top of piles of tomato cans, tonight they got a reminder that this isn’t boxing. In MMA, crazy s–t happens all the time. Almost nobody stays undefeated for long.
So now do they feed the Silverback to Brett Rogers? Give Kenny and Kimbo a go at the next event and set up a Rogers/Kimbo fight for 2nd/3rd quarter 2009? I dunno.
I like EliteXC’s shows, though. I’ve got nothing against them. I want to see good fights, is all, and when they have a roster of good fighters not being put to good use often enough it’s frustrating.
this honestly is a really good opportunity for elitexc, kimbo, and petruzelli, i think they can hype the rematch and get a way bigger draw, i would see it, just to answer the question of was it luck or does kimbo really just suck.
that’s actually pretty smart. it buys them another 4 months of kimbo but I seriously think its time for them to wake up and realize that Kimbo shouldn’t be their be all and end all. They need to promote him less and promote somebody like Lawler instead! They need to hedge their bets behind someone who is far more legit!!
I disagree with everything you said.
“This loss, quite honestly, should not count against Slice because he was man enough to take on an opponent on literally minutes notice.”
What the fuck? Man enough? How about Seth being man enough to take on that overhyped bum? Kimbo expected a walk in the park against an over the hill Shamrock. Instead he faced a decent fighter in Seth.
The fact is that unless Kimbo’s opponent is over 40 and has a glass jaw, Kimbo will lose every time. He is not an MMA fighter.
Today’s events just confirmed what everyone knew already.
I agree with Flyingknees 100%! Seth wins 10 times out of 10! Once I heard Seth Was Signed to Fight kimbo I’ll admit I was pissed. then after about 10 mins.. I started to Laugh and I was like.. Kimbo is gonna get destroyed! I seen Seth Fight and I know his Skill Set.. and Knowing Kimbo’s.. I Told everyone Seth 1st round KO In 22 Secs.. I was off by 6 secs lol. 99% of UFC undercard HW would Kill Kimbo. He is a nobody that has gotten backed By ELITE.. I love 2 watch Events and Im not a UFC Whore. But ELITE just got owned 2night.. Bad match up. Bad call.. AWESOME FOR US! AND AWESOME FOR SETH! Kimbo Vs. Homeless on Youtube in a month. Bye bye. =)
Agreed.
No one gives Seth credit. He STEPPED up FAR more than Kslice. Seth is a 205′er and kimbo is , well what EliteXC wants you to beleive a bad ass striker and KO artist.
I ALSO cant beleive that Mauro said that Kimbo needs or deserves a “mulligan” after taking this fight????? WTF???? Kimbo’s entire handpicked can of a career was a “mulligan”
Sucks that we have to go back to watching Slice KO old, out of shape, glass jawed, poor strikers of men in their 40’s….in order to try to recreate the facade that Kimbo is legit
I give Seth all the credit in the world … I went to great pains to highlight that. But if there is anyone who feels — despite of his accomplishments to date — that he deserves to be considered a top MMA fighter (as Kimbo was) then we need to pack things up. And again, as hard as it may seem to understand, Seth doesn’t deserve that. This was an indictment on EXC … not Seth. Seth and Kimbo deserve all the credit in the world for taking this fight. It’s just too bad it was on such a big stage. That’s the argument.
So what your saying is how you think since Kimbo was being billed at the real deal, instead of putting someone like Seth who is capable and proved he is capable of beating him, why not put Arlovski, since Seth isn’t a star, and Arlovski is?
Mania, you’re giving everyone the impression that you actually thought Kimbo was a good fighter!!! Maybe you missed what most of us bloggers knew all along…Kimbo sucks! “9 times out of ten”? Are you joking? I’m surprised that this was Kimbo’s first loss! Did you see his glass chin? It was a jab that dropped him!
I also want to point out the bias that exists among the leadership of Elite XC. After Kimbo was dropped and Seth was going to town on his head, you could see Jared Shaw screaming and jumping up and down in the background that Seth had hit Kimbo illegally on the back of his head. It was hilarious. Maybe I’d be screaming too if I had just flushed away two years worth of promotion and false hype.
I don’t think that was what Mania was saying. However, since you brought it up, it would have been much better for Elite XC to have Kimbo get beaten by Arlovski than to lose to Seth.
Kimbo……..please say this with me……IS NOT A REAL MMA FIGHTER! For god sakes he was found on the internet! He is billed as the internet street fighting sensation! Come on! Just own up and admit that a REAL MMA fighter came out, didn’t even break a sweat, and easily beat a rough around the edges street fighter….plain and simple.
Kimbo is not and will never be an MMA fighter to me. That is my opinion. He is a joke. He was given hand picked opponents before and finally, thank you lord, finally something happened out of Elite XC’s control and when the tables turned, LIGHTS OUT! Now we all were able to see how this supposed TOP MMA FIGHTER/STRIKER could really handle himself. Face it MMAMANIA, Slice is a joke and nothing more.
mania why would you say Kimbo would beat Seth 9 out of 10 times? You sound like a 15 year old Kimbo nuthugger who has never watched real mma in your life. Seth is a much better fighter than Kimbo, a legit mma fighter, and all Kimbo does is walk in hoping to land a big punch.
Kimbo is a real fighter, but he is not now (but may be someday) a top fighter. Big distinction.
I don’t think Kimbo wins 9 out of 10 times–there’s no evidence that he’s good against professionals.
Mania, when was Kimbo considered a top MMA fighter?
Hey Tito, I don’t think your purple pimp suit goes well with your giant cranium.
neither does the eminem bleach job
his head looked smaller. maybe cuz no one in the crowd knew who he was?
hahah you notice how the lady interviewing him said that he was the former heavyweight champion?
HAHA yea! Well that’s CBS NOOBS FOR YOU! lol
As soon as they announced Seth as the opponent, I told my brother in law Kimbo was losing. He didn’t believe me.
There is nothing you can say about the short notice for Kimbo that you can say about the short notice for Seth.
Oh, and Radach Ninja was the fight of the night.
Radach vs Rua looked like some newbies in a jiu-jitsu class. That trash was ugly.
Agreed with your statement 100% ecspecially the swinging for the fences for half the match, almost embarassing to watch.
well not necessarily, and i’m not giving excuses to Kimbo because he barely got touched in this fight and still lost, but Kimbo’s fighting style is widely known. Seth Petruzelli’s? Notsomuch. I’ve been following MMA closely for awhile and I didn’t know who he was
I knew the name, but for the life of me I could not remember why? haha.
what?!?! carano vs cobald was definitely fight of the night, they put on a hell of a show.
Are you serious? The ugly one spent about 7 of the 9 minutes holding onto Gina’s leg.
Just “less than 30 seconds”?? Call it like it is… it was 11 seconds. The amazing Kimbo fell in 11 seconds. All the more embarrassing.
It’s “unless you’re,” not your.
Other than that i agree.
How many excuses does EliteXC have for Kimbo losing this fight… Bottom line, top of the line fights don’t lose to lower level fighters; regardless of time prepared for a fight. Look at Sean Gannon in the UFC and that says what Kimbo really is.
ok this rant is simply retarded.
Seth is actually a good fighter. He would prolly beat kimbo 9 out of 10 times, not the other way around.
And the loss should count towards the record regardless of the situation.
It sucks that kimbo was put in this situation but guess what, he should have realized that he couldnt be protected forever.
Its better he learned this the hard way now so he can really dedicate himself to improving.
too bad this might be the nail in the coffin for EliteXC if CBS dont renew their contract. We’ll see how the ratings pan out.
Seth is not a good fighter… he is a below average LHW. He has soem decent skills, but don’t call him a good fighter. We all knew Kimbo was going to lose when he finally fought someone good, we found out last night that we didnt’ have to wait that long!!
when my friends that don’t watch MMA ask me about Kimbo, I used to tell them that any HW in UFC would crush him. Now I have to correct my position, any HW, or LHW (even LHW that can’t hack it in UFc) Could crush Kimbo. Paul Daley would kick his ass as well. No hate for Kimbo let the man make his money, just don’t confuse a spectacle fighter, with real MMA fighters.
Now Kimbo vs Shamrock makes cense. Now it’s the battle of has beens(with all dew respect) and never been. And if Kimbo wins, the spin machine that is the “Shaws” can easily carry him through a new group of hand picked “Scrubo’s “…. well, until he runs into another half decent fighter. Go Seth that was awesome, expect an envelope full of cash from Dana, because he is happier then I am… without a doubt.
But overall the show was good, I thought all the fights were competitive, I did think that Nelson being stood up when he is in side control going for a Kamora was very shady.. but I expect that.
I was surprised by that stand up as well!!!!!!!!!
I honestly think it’s being blown out of proportion. Make no mistake, I thought this was a COLOSSAL mistake by EliteXC as soon as I heard the replacement fight when the show went live, but the fact of the matter is Kimbo Slice has not talent whatsoever and sooner rather than later, that was going to be displayed. Well it happened tonight and now EliteXC can start the process of turning to more legit stars to promote their organization. Fighters like Lawler, Shields, Carano, Diaz, etc.
9 out of 10 times kimbo wins? wtf? am I the only one who thinks seth would win 10/10 times. He’s a much better striker and wrestler. The only thing he didn’t have an advantage in was weight.
This wasn’t an upset at all, just a bad mistake by EXC.
I love this site, but seriously how can anyone say Kimbo beats Seth at this point in his career 9 times out of 10? What has Kimbo done to prove he can beat someone like Seth, is Seth elite, no, will he ever be, no..but he is a lot more accomplished and is a very good striker, I hope that was a mis type, if not I hope you can explain it
Kimbo came in and didnt do what hes supposed to do ’strike’. Anyways he got caught and wasnt out he couldve probably kept fighting but i think in all likelyness he probably loses still. Gratz silverback you just upped your stock! Maybe now we can see Kimbo vs Rogers^^ GOOOOO GINA HELL YES FUCK ALL THOSE HATERS GINA HAS BEEN LEGIT AND CONTINUES TO PROVE IT!!
Finally Kimbo is exposed!? I thought that everyone including the author of this site (especially!) would have finally understood that Kimbo is a fairly decent striker with some MMA training under his belt but that’s it. No different than your average TUF reject. He’s not much different than any of the current TUF’rs except that he looks a lot more scary and he remembered to press record with some of his backyard street fights against folks who had no professional training. Stop being impressed by this! Anyway- he finally met a mediocre but somewhat talented TUF’r reject and he got his ass kicked. Exposed!! No conspiracy. No 9 out of 10. Got what he had coming to him. Just a little bit earlier than expected…finally…fuck me…
MMAMANIA is going to wake up tomorrow with a bad hangover. Go over to the computer and be amazed at the non cense he can come up with, while on the sauce.
……Kimbo 9/10 ….how many here think that about right?
I say 2/10 for kimbo at best, and thats if Shaw’s are able to pay of Seth at least once
Hahaha great comments you two!
Kimbo came in and didnt do what hes supposed to do ’strike’. Anyways he got caught and wasnt out he couldve probably kept fighting but i think in all likelyness he probably loses still. Gratz silverback you just upped your stock! Maybe now we can see Kimbo vs Rogers^^ GOOOOO GINA HELL YES FUCK ALL THOSE HATERS GINA HAS BEEN LEGIT AND CONTINUES TO PROVE IT!
ginas fucked when she fights mrs, santos
i was actually pretty happy with the event over all. the first fight was sick, and the female fight was pretty awesome too. i honestly wasnt expecting as good as a show as the delivered.
Kimbo under estimated that fighter, and he paid for it. But the part that tripped me out was when the commentators said “this is the biggest upset in mma history.” That’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve heard, because Kimbo Slice is an 4-0 rookie. That other dude is probably like 15-4. That’s not an upset, Petruzelli beat a rookie!
