The UFC is a professional product and a treat to watch despite how much Dana White is disliked.
Kimbo Slice will never compete at a high level, and at this point has a better chance of making it as a pro wrestler. Although his rags to riches story is inspiring.
The Heavyweight fighters in the first bout (sry i forgot their names) were clearly better then the main event fighters. That cannot be good business.
That was funny when Thompson took a shot at the ref for stealing the fight. What's up with the dumbo ear? None of these guys looked ready for this. CBS needs to fire the whole damn quality control crew.
Wow!!!!! Anyone with one good eye could see this was a complete fix. Thompson had ample oppurtunity to drop bombs on Kimbo when he was on his back. You could even see them communicating to one another while Kimbo was on the fence. What was on tonight was not MMA, it was to bar room chumps in a ring. Tune in to Versus tomorrow to see what MMA is really about. The one highlight of the night was the female fight. Put a washed up bum like Tito Ortiz against Kimbo next time. Kimbo will be out by the first round, garunteed. Kimbo needs to stick to fighting over weight bouncers for sunflower seeds!
It's impressive and heartwarming to see the personality of Kimbo and his success story. Articulate, good hearted and an overall good guy, Kimbo stuck through over a minute of getting pounded on his head to come back and win this one. Definitely showed his lack of upside in MMA as he could not hang once on the ground. That wobbly ear of Thompson hanging grotesquely will give me bad dreams tonight.
Agreed, the main event was a joke! james thompson ear was blown up before the fight - probably all part of the plan. Put kimbo in with the weakest UFC heavyweight and he'd get put down quickly. james thompson was on top delivering like 20 elbows to the top of kimbo's bald head, no blood, my 5 yr old could deliver more punishing blows than this brit. All the other fights were ok, but kimbo vs. thompson was like a pro wrestling version of mma...
While I liked all of the fights-I really disliked the camera work.I could gather a group of 3 year old who could do a better job then what they had tonight.I saw the back of the ref more than the fighters and during the Kimbo fight, I really "enjoyed" the "back of the arena" shot.What's up with that??CBS has their next fight scheduled for June 14th lets hope that they improve on their camera work !!!
