Kimbo Wasn’t Exposed, the Truth Was

good aritcle john… couldn’t agree more!  ... the part abuot “the greatest upset…”  when he said that even my gf laughed.  That n jared shaw’s reaction when kimbo was on all 4’s was priceless and his post fight interview was mind too much, his shift eyes and flat out lies were too funny.

his comment about dana white, omg too much… he actually said dana is making “...himself look stupidier.”  LOL yeah he said stupidier. wow.

EliteXC needs to really get their heads out of their asses. OK, Slice lost. But really, they’ve still got plenty going for them IF THEY’D JUST USE IT! It seems they can readily draw fighters from Affliction for their cards and that’s going to bring in viewers. I was more interested in the Arlovski/Nelson fight than anything, and Carano I must admit is a pretty good fight. If they put her against Cyborg for their next show, I’ll probably watch just for that. 5 minute rounds would be great too. Kimbo Slice was just a bonus side-show at the end for me. I admit, I hate his hype and how people think he’s badass, but I don’t hate Slice himself. I AM still interested to see if he can actually adapt. One can only imagine what Rutten had to say to him after the match. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Slice. Hopefully the hype dies down a bit though, EliteXC has more stars that can be just as big.

I never knew the fill-in took down Bob Sapp. They should start mentioning that. Taking down Slice and Sapp, while not technically too huge of a deal, is definitely going to go over with the casual fan well.

It’s free fighting, so while I think the Shaws are fucking stupid, here’s to hoping EliteXC sticks around and puts on more shows at CBS. I’ll definitely watch their next show.

Great article Johnny. Spot on in every aspect. Awesome read, and even better because its perfectly correct on how ElitceXC and Slice banked on one fighter, and now, like most other banks, its its going bankrupt.

What’s pissing me off is everyone (nobody here, I hope) pointing and laughing at ALL of EliteXC like “neiner neiner!” as if EliteXC crumbling would be a good thing.
This Anti-EliteXC crap is getting old. Instead of pointing your finger at the entire promotion and laughing cause it might fail, maybe you should realize what’s going to happen if it folds. UFC will drive it’s prices up, offer less free shows, and do you really think they’re going to “absorb” the EliteXC fighters? They’ll all be out of a job, and it’s not even their fault. Blame the Shaws, blame all the idiots hyping Kimbo Slice, but don’t just blindly point and laugh at the entire promotion. It’s offering free shows and it can pull fighters from Affliction to put on great bouts. All I hear is people complaining about Slice. Don’t blame Slice, blame the masses. Every other fight on the card was wonderful, free, fresh, why complain? You can still watch UFC PPVs and watch EliteXC on CBS. Some people are fucking pathetic and the nerve they have to call themselves MMA fans and not “UFC fans” amazes me.

Oh, and if ProElite holds the power to fire the Shaws, now would be a good time. They’re going to go broke paying Slice what they are, and as long as they continue to put him as the main event above people like Shields and Arlovski, a lot of people are never going to take them seriously.

I’m an MMA fan, but the only 2 organizations I like are UFC and Dream.

I have a major problem with EliteXC because they tried to market Kimbo as the face of MMA, and at the same time they baby Kimbo with fights that he can easily steam roll through, and that’s what they thought when they got Petruzelli to fight on Saturday. If they started promoting their talented fighters then I might change my mind, but until they do I will be glad that their organization is going down the drain.

Affliction would be great if they put on more shows, they’ve had 1 show put on and that’s it and their postphoned event that’s suppose to happen in January, right now they are even saying that might not happen. What are fans suppose to do while they wait for Affliction to get their act together???? It just seems like they won’t put on a show unless they have Fedor as the main event and right now nobody wants to fight Fedor except for Couture.

At least Dream is putting on events, where there are some pretty good matches.

UFC is the best thing for MMA fans, because they have all the best talent pool out of all the organizations and I’m glad to pay 50 bucks every month to watch their events.

I don’t know what the deal was with KimBRo being dropped by a glancing sort a right jab but in his legendary videos he can be seen flexing his neck muscles and letting his opponents hit him square in the face as hard as they can and it doesn’t even faze him at all.Then on Sat.night he gets hit by a feather and he practically goes to sleep. Very strange I have to say…...........
