Solid event? are you smoking crack? The event started at 9. At 9:51 there was exactly one fight! Then there was the Kimbo debacle. A disgrace to MMA. Take your head out of your ass/

Defiantly a great card. Although the no contest with Robbie made me a little angry. Good event!

I would also like to bring up that this card was also supposed to have Fickett vs Shields which would've been a great ground battle.

I agree I thought it was a solid event overall. Carano vs. Young was awesome. Makowski whoopin up on Nick Serra on the undercard rocked. Smokin' Joe beating up NYBA. The crappy stoppages kept it from being great, but it didn't suck. People are WAY overreacting.

Scott Smith should have been allowed his 5 minutes. Kimbo's fight should not have been stopped like that. Other than that, I enjoyed this event.

I will agree that the decisions that were made are more a fault of the gaming comission.

However, the thing that really killed it for me was Thompsons inability to finish Kimbo from the crucifix and the random two or so minutes of kimbos nostrils.

I think that it was a disgrace that this was the premier of MMA on network primetime. I hate that the skeptics saw this. I watched it with two non-mma fans and they were generally bored and disgusted despite showing some interest at the beginning. For most MMA fans and those who are not new to EXC i feel safe in saying that we weren't impressed, but most of us saw more or less what we expected out of EXC. If I was not an avid MMA fan and I saw this even, I;d never watch MMA again.

The Smith/Lawler and the Kimbo/Thompson fights were stopped by the NJASC not Gary Shaw or Pro Elite.

The NJASC did a terrible job last night which bums me out as a resident of NJ.

The Carano/Young fight actually mad me a fan of Female MMA something I've never been willing to watch before.

It was a solid card not great but the injuries leading up to the event really hurt it.

I'm pretty sure the the Kimbo fight was stopped by the ref...
