there has been alot of arguments but here is one area that we all need to agree on.
kimbo was set up with what should have been an easy fight and he caught a break and won the fight with a pathatic display. The guy is now 2 and 7 in his last 9 fights i think.

So what does XC do to save themselves and kimbo?

I actually thought it was what everyone wanted to see... Kimbo being tested. I know I was on the edge of my seat when Kimbo was in what looked to be a tight guillotine, then when he was almost mounted multiple times, and the possible stoppage at the end of the 2nd round. The dude is 34 - it was simply a wake-up. I thought it was a great fight. I would have actually been dissappointed to see it end in under a minute again. Seeing Kimbo's new MMA was very interesting, and from the look on his face and his demeaner, he knew he put on a poor showing for the fans. The stoppage will be discussed endlessly until his next fight (hopefully soon).

Now, I'm thinking that all of those Brock Lesnar vs Kimbo, wouldn't want that fight anymore - Kimbo would be a huge underdog.

Well any good striker(boxer, k-1, muay thai, etc..) could be an upper tier fighter if they became better at bjj, wrestling, cardio. Not trying to be a smart ass but come on, you could insert three things that any guy needs to improve on that would make them an upper tier fighter.

LOL... Yeah, I noticed this forum isn't for fans; it's for at-home expert analysts. The Kimbo fight was actually pretty dang good. Thompson stuck it to him. I had JT winning the first two rounds.

Definition of FAN: an enthusiastic devotee of sports.

This forum is full of fans. It's just that the true devotee's maybe know a bit about what we're looking at.

Back to the OP: I personally think they didn't do too bad really. Questionable stoppages that wasn't the promotions fault & the ads have to be there to pay the HUUUUGE wages they've got if they're going to air them for free. I don't think Busta Rhymes did them any favours but wasn't that for Rogers entrance anyway?

The one thing that I did think was shocking was that the Kimbo v JT debacle was main event over the Lawler v Smith title fight. That in itself damages the integrity of their belts.
