Watch SeeBS try to ruin all the hard work that MMA has done to establish itself with this Kimbo clown this saturday.

Dana is also willing to run off Tito Ortiz who is a top money drawer over personality. Business is about business, it’s not personal - or at least that’s what I learned from the Godfather.

On a related topic, the chief of staff for Bill Richardson’s white house bid has a son who is a BAD AZZ in the octagon. I think his last name is condin? Doesn’t fight for UFC tho...

[rattrap]

Carlos Condit.

He fights in the WEC which is owned by the same company as the UFC. It has more lighter weight classes like Feather and Bantam weights.

I have seen Kimbo Slice Ultimate fight match, knocked his opponent out in less than thirty seconds. What a fight!!!!! I still would like to see this ultimate matchup: Kimbo Slice and Jet-li, I know the physical difference in size but could Jet-li really knock him out? My Husband, says yes. I would rather watch Ultimate Fighting and MI-5 series than Oprah or Ellen./Just Asking - seoul62.......

This is a bizarre thread. Anyhow, I guess I am just old fashioned, but I find boxing to be much more aesteticly pleasing.

...Adryan...

Sometimes you see someone and immediately wish for them to get a good beat down. Adryan was just that kind of fool.

Kimbo may or may not be the best representative for the debut of MMA on national TV but he did beat Tank Abbott who I thought was in the UFC original gang. So what if he has heavy hands, didn’t Gracie get the snot pounded out of him by Hughes? Not all MMA fights are submissions and if these fights Saturday don’t reflect the “perfect” UFC template Wetzel hasn’t been watching the UFC from the beginning.

[Clint N. Suhks]

More injury in boxing than MMA.

And in the real world nearly all fights go to the ground, MMA reflects that.

UFC/MMA Ping list is in my profile for all to use.

I have Kimbo, Lawler, and Carano

[Clint N. Suhks]

There’s an MMA ping list?

Put me on please.

[pissant]

Whatever happened to your boy Cro Cop. Seems he had his butt kicked a few times since we last talked.

[SJSAMPLE]

If Jet Li would remove all the damn wires he uses in his movies, he may have a chance.

As it is, he’s stuck looking like a marionette.

[Retired Greyhound]

I agree with you. Boxing is more dangerous and MMA is more like a real fight. Real fights are also ugly to watch. Usually.

One major wart on the UCF's credibility is that horrendous decision in the Bisping/Hammil fight. That went way beyond a bad call and edged over into a premeditated fix. I'd like to think they learned their lesson.

Besides that, I don't even watch boxing anymore, UCF is far better.

[Sax]

Yeah and that’s UFC, not University of Central Florida! (I’ll chalk that up to proximity.)

[BufordP]

One major wart on the UCF's credibility is that horrendous decision in the Bisping/Hammil fight.

Yep.

[Mr. Mojo]

The fact the lowly Versus cable network will broadcast a far superior, double main event World Extreme Cagefighting card on Sunday, tells you what CBS thinks of the sport. Quality doesn’t matter.

Same goes for their news division.

[rattrap]

Maybe they should have Dan Rather fight Kimbo to get his news chair back.
