Stop your crying? How do you say it’s fixed … The guy that wasn’t suppose to win kicked his butt in 14 secs? Who cares if they wanted to have him stand … Do you want to see the guy wrestling kimbo slice the whole time.. Audience says NO! .. This is what everyone wanted, and it was suppose to be enjoyable .. But unfortunately that didn’t happen he got his butt kicked!

Actually what happened was Seth took a shot to his neck which temporarily put his arm to sleep. Kind of like a funny bone shot. That’s why he looked so confused when the fight was ended. He actually put Sapp down before the stinger.

Good point naturalshadow. Rashad is a wrestler and not a stiker. However, the fact that Rashad decided to stand and strike with Chuck proves my original point.

It’s as if Dana paid them extra money on the side to stand and bang with Chuck. This indicates that Chuck has no ground game (yeah yeah, they really emphasize that Chuck is fantastic in wrestling and submissions but nobody will ever know because he hates going to the ground) so if you take Chuck down the probability of him losing is significantly higher. But if you stand and bang with Chuck, he can still lose but most likely not. It’s all about probabilities!

I think we should stop criticizing Kimbo so harshly, AND we should stop hyping him so damn much. He seems like a nice, humble, realistic guy and maybe one day he could be involved in some decent fights against decent caliber opponents. He’s still an MMA baby, because those backyard fights and mma relics don’t count for shit and they never did. The guy needs a chance to earn a name. Let’s let him fight on the undercard, and hopefully work his way up there. Just please don’t make him the main event. I really like the guy. Hey, anyone else pumped for a Tito – Shamrock 2009. Bitch monkey.

Funny….I recall many people here saying MMA needs elite XC for competition purposes and the sake of giving fighter more options…as to picking how you want your fights fixed! F*** elite xc! ive always knew they were BS org run by real shady promoters and now CBS is dipping their hand in the JAR!!…ratings my friends and you wonder why Dana has rejected and offer and negotiations from HBO and CBS…he knows they deal shady being a promoter himself…difference is he really loves MMA…or UFC should i say lol…better to have one reprent MMA 120% to their abilities than having 50 representatives that are only one foot in the door in this sport and are still very “iffy” about it.

Actually, for what its worth, I would think that Big Black would not be backing Kimbo. Big Black serves as security to Brett Rodgers and Team Bison, who is Kimbo’s arch rival.
